Thoughts, Thoughts, Thoughts...

Wow. Even more evidence that Gail Simone rocks. The words "gracious" and "professional" spring immediately to mind.

New preview up of Dorothy VI. Looks like the Tin Man is on the way.

Polite Scott revisits No Man's Land.

Finder has started as a web comic.

Chezvid has updated the Aquaman/Smallville pages and put up a page of trailer screencaps: Aquaman in Smallville and Trailer Screencaps. I'll note that in the screencaps, AC seems to be forming a water missile like Aquaman used to form in the cartoons. Rock on!

In the meantime, Kryptonsite has The Many Faces of Aquaman. I saw only a few mistakes (including the silly assertion that Aquaman was "only" in back-up stories for the first 20 years... most were anthologies, and Aquaman was a feature. There's a bit of a difference), and it's worth a glance.

Johnny B reports some news that makes me really happy. The wait is over, Castle Waiting is coming back! More directly from Linda here, including the clarification of some of the news that PW misreported.

As if that wasn't enough, there's going to be a Doctor Who spin-off show that actually sounds pretty good. No K-9 and Company here, Torchwood is going to be a bit X-Filesish. Unlike any other potential Who spin-off, I think this one will probably do well based entirely on the creative team they've got making it.

The Nameless Novel has been unveiled as The Penultimate Peril, and the first chapter is up at the website as well.

The Jedi Had It Coming. Via Augie.

The 40 best magazine covers of the past 40 years. Boing Boing has working links.

Nutcase Jack Thompson attempted to get Seattle police to arrest the Penny Arcade crew for "harrassment" because they dared to donate the $10,000 to charity that Thompson promised but refused to deliver. As Gabe points out on the Penny Arcade site: "I think we can all agree that young kids should not play violent videogames. I think we can also agree that they should not watch violent movies or read pornographic magazines. That’s a job for parents not Jack Thompson." Amen, Gabe. Amen.

Bigfoot Bounty Withdrawn because the mysterious sponsor, which turns out to have been none other than Wizards Of The Coast, didn't want anyone getting hurt while attempting to capture a cryptid. Too many liability issues involved.

Transparent aluminum is a reality now.

While it sounds slightly icky, this wouldn't be a bad way to end up.

Hurricane Wilma ties the record for most hurricanes in a season. Hurricane season doesn't end until November 30th.
