Wizard On The Retreat?

With the backlash in the comic community, this is a good move on Wizards part, if it's true.

Hype

This is an interesting article at Newsarama on the current state of the comic book market and how "hype" may cause more harm then good. It looks like Marvel could learn a thing or two from DC.

Firefly #2 On Amazon DVD Sales List

If you haven't already seen this series then you're missing one of the best single season TV series ever made. I watched it early last year, and apparently people are starting to catch on. With the new movie "Serenity" coming out this summer (let's hope it's successful) and ever increasing sales of the DVD, maybe Fox will bring it back to TV. Rumors are flying all over the place right now.
