All is right in the world. Comedy Central has put in a 13-episode order for new episodes of FUTURAMA. The bad? We have to wait until 2008. The good? You can ...nay, WILL once again hail the glory of Hypnotoad!
One for the "rumor for now" category is the possible direct-to-DVD animated movie based on Darwyn Cooke's 2003 graphic novel, DC: The New Frontier. The story takes place in the 50s, the dawn of the "silver age" of superheroes, and deals with an emerging generation of heroes as they come together to face an alien threat. It's a great read, I recommend you pick it up. Cooke drew the book similar in style to DC's animated universe--as seen in Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League--so it seems fitting that the man who helped created those shows, Bruce Timm, adapt New Frontier into a movie. I really hope this comic-to-animated movie adapatation is way better than Marvel's Ultimate Avengers garbage. It's like they took the Mark Millar's awesome storyline from The Ultimates and did the exact opposite. Who knew Uwe Boll directed cartoons? Ok, ok. That's not nice. Maybe it was Paul W.S. Anderson.
**VIEWER ADVISORY** This weekend marks the start of The Venture Brothers' second season on Adult Swim. You can catch a new episode this Sunday (the 25th) at 10:30pm. OR, if you need your fix sooner, there'll be a sneak peek available on adultswim.com starting Friday at 6pm.
