Stan Lee

Stan Lee is not only awesome at making cameo appearances in Marvel Comics movies (though he is tremendously great at that), he's also the man responsible for many of these movies existing in the first place. It seems more than appropriate, then, that Stan the man is about to be honored for his achievements by the Producers Guild of America.

The PGA has announced that Lee is this year's recipient of the Producer's Guild 2012 Vanguard Award, an honor that's been bestowed upon the likes of "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, Pixar genius John Lasseter and others in the past.

'Jessica Jones' TV Show Includes Luke Cage Role, Confirms Writer

Posted 11/10/11 9:45 am EST by Josh Wigler in Marvel, News

Jessica Jones

Some time has passed since we last heard news about "AKA Jessica Jones," the Marvel TV series based on Brian Michael Bendis' "Alias" comic books. In fact, last we heard, "Twilight" author Melissa Rosenberg had been hired to adapt the project… a hire that's apparently still in effect!

“It’s still sitting at ABC and we’re hoping to get on the schedule for next fall,” she revealed of the TV show's current status in an interview with I Am Rogue. “I love this character. That is an incredibly damaged, dark, complex female character that kicks ass. That’s my favorite thing about it.”

What's more, Rosenberg confirmed that Luke Cage — better known as the superhero Power Man, who just so happens to be Jones' lover in the comic books — is very much a part of her vision for "Jessica Jones."

Wonder Woman

Batman has had terrific success in Hollywood and Superman's about to give it another go with "Man of Steel" in 2013, but it just hasn't worked out for Wonder Woman, the third pillar of DC Entertainment's trinity of heroes. The Amazon warrior's path towards theaters has been a complicated one, with recent attempts at revitalizing the character through animation and live-action television failing for numerous reasons.

What is it about Wonder Woman that makes her so difficult to handle on the big screen? The answer, according to current "Wonder Woman" scribe Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang, isn't an easy one.

'Walking Dead' Well Zombie: Greg Nicotero Reveals All

Posted 11/7/11 3:22 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Image Comics, News, TV

"The Walking Dead" has never slouched in the zombie department, but in this week's episode, "Cherokee Rose," we were introduced to the most disgusting zombie yet: the bloated well walker.

Finding a flesh hungry monster at the bottom of a well would be terrifying enough as it is, but the results were all the more grotesque thanks to the stunning visual effects work of Greg Nicotero and his KNB EFX house. In a new video posted at AMC TV, viewers are invited behind the scenes to watch the making of the most thoroughly vile walker (or floater, more accurately) in "Walking Dead" history.
