This week is a very special edition of The Watchtower as we dig deep into one of our favourite “guilty pleasure” books of all time.

August 6th, 2008 sees the return of everyone’s favourite redhead as Marvel Comics launches the lastest volume of Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane. Wanting to know more, we decided to go straight to the source.

We are extremely fotunate to have Artist Craig Rousseau (Impulse, The Perhapnauts), and Writer Terry Moore (Strangers In Paradise, Echo) join us to let us in on their plans for MJ, Gewn, Peter and all the gang.

All that, and The Forecast! It’s The Watchtower, more catchy than a Katy Perry song!

This week’s Checklist is a world-wide edition, featuring Marvel’s newest Soleil title, Universal War One. There’s also some Punisher, some Ultimate Fantastic Four, and a Final Crisis tie-in that you won’t want to miss if you are a fan of speedsters at all.

This and much more in this week’s Forecast, but that isn’t the real story. This week on The Watchtower is the return of the one and only Terry Moore. Terry is our first repeat guest, and this time he’s brought along artist Craig Rousseau to give us the skinny on their upcoming Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane run.

Our good friends at Toronto @ Noon with Dave Trafford on Newstalk 1010 CFRB asked me to join them on the air today to review The Dark Knight. I thought it was a fun couple of minutes that you guys would enjoy hearing. Because, y’know, I haven’t talked about The Dark Knight enough in the past week.

What we really want to hear though is that YOU think! Now that The Dark Knight is out for everyone to see, we want to know what you think of the biggest comic book movie to hit the screen this year! Comment, E-Mail, Forums, however, just get in touch!

DVD Review - Batman: Gotham Knight

Over the years, Batman has taken many forms. There’s the comics we know and love, the campy 60’s TV show, and of course this summers gritty Caped Crusader in The Dark Knight. One of the most loved though, is the kid-friendly Batman of Batman: The Animated Series.

Movie Review - The Dark Knight

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending an IMAX press screening of The Dark Knight. I don’t know if words can do justice to the Awesomeness of this movie, but I will do my best to get across every jaw-dropping, eye-bugging, mind-blowing aspect of the flick.

In other words, I liked it. A lot.

When Batman Begins came out, my review stated “This is everything a Batman movie should be.” With The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan has made me eat those words, and say “This is everything a Batman movie should be.”
