Four years and two months after writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso wrapped up their pivotal Vertgo crime series "100 Bullets," the creative team is joining forces again to revisit their creation -- sort of.
I chatted with Azzarello about why the new miniseries "Brother Lono" is anything but a sequel and how it's like "mariachi death metal." I snuck in a question about "Wonder Woman," too.

A couple of weeks ago we ran pics from the wedding of "Batgirl" and Nightwing" a.k.a. Laura and Seth, Bat-superfans. We loved the pics, but we needed to know, how exactly they pulled off such a gloriously geeky wedding. So we went right to the source!

With some pretty serious finality, the last episode of the ratings-challenged "Fringe" effectively sewed up any dangling plot threads for Peter, Walter, and Olivia. It was the kind of finale that was satisfying to fans, inasmuch as it closed the loop on many of the show's mysteries, but poses a problem for anyone who wants to come along and do anything with these characters.
And that's how we end up with "Fringe: The Zodiac Paradox," the first of three prequel novels from publisher Titan Books this year, spotlighting the trio at the heart of the series. And writer Christa Faust, in constructing a tale about the origins of Cortexiphan delivers a clunky early adventure featuring Walter Bishop and future Massive Dynamics founder William Bell (and Nina Sharpe, too), as the action moves to the West Coast bringing the trio up against the Bay Area serial killer whose atomic fists and murderous appetites threaten all of San Francisco.
Spoilers!

Yeah, we’ve seen “Return of the Jedi” enough times to memorize the number of gray hairs on Yoda’s head. Yet, our favorite moments have yet to lose their luster. Since “Jedi” is turning 30 we decided to nerf herd our favorite moments together.

Remember your first time? We do. And no, it didn’t involve an awkward fumbling in the backseat of a car. We’re talking about that initial viewing of “Return of the Jedi” 30 years ago.
May 25, 1983, Opening day of “Jedi” was of monumental proportions. The biggest space saga to ever hit celluloid was wrapping up. Everyone wanted to see Han thaw from carbonite, who would score Leia, and Luke and Vader duke it out in the ultimate galactic grudge match.
We wanted to hear recollections and anecdotes from a few nerdy celebrities who went to see “Jedi” opening weekend. We set out like bounty hunters in search of nostalgia. Here’s what we found:
Memorial Day weekend is here, the un-officially official start to Summer! So to give you some fun stuff to read and some awesome ideas to make your day of much-deserved R&R perfect, we rounded up our best Memorial Day material in one handy, dandy post!

It is crucial to know a few things about the new Nickelodeon cartoon series “Sanjay and Craig.” It is about a boy with a pet snake. It talks … and sometimes puts on a wig and human clothes when the radically awesome duo embark on occasionally gross-out adventures like witnessing a butt transplant or having a barf off. And they are in the best friends hall of fame. There is no best friends hall of fame (they made it up!).

Don’t call it a knock-off. ZoloWorld’s “Realm of the Underworld” line of figures, which launches their second wave today, pays homage to the less-heralded fantasy toy lines of the 1980s – the ones that weren’t quite He-Man, but that your parents were likely to buy you at a drug store or Kmart.

There's big news in the world of fandom this week as Amazon announced its Kindle Worlds program. It's a program in which anyone can submit a story to Amazon for electronic publication via the Kindle and receive a portion of the proceeds for every one that's sold. While this may sound like something they've been doing for quite some time (it is) the significant part of this story is that Amazon has teamed up wtih Alloy Entertainment to allow these stories to be about intellectual properties that ran on television. Currently "Gossip Girl," "Pretty Little Liars," and "The Vampire Diaries" with promises of more licenses to come later. The upshot of this announcement is that you can get paid to legally write "Vampire Diaries" fan fiction.

I read a lot of comics. Like, A LOT a lot. I’ve got my Wednesday comics, trade paperbacks for my commute, and my perpetually growing to-be-read stack. But there are always books that stand out. Comics that are so great you want hug them the second you finish reading them and then tell all of your friends (and a few strangers) about 'em--the Best Stuff. Here’s the Best Stuff I Read This Week.
Hey there, campers! The unofficial start to summer kicks off this Memorial Day weekend! While that means hitting the beach, firing up the grill, or heading out of town for most people, for us indoor kids, it means curling up with some great comics (and maybe a cool gin and tonic) for a nice long weekend reading next to the air conditioner. No? Just me?
Anyway. I’m pretty sure you’re all more than ready to get this weekend started. So I won’t ramble. On to the Best Stuff from this week!

We've been following developments about the live-action adaptation of "Rurouni Kenshin" for a while now, and it looks like West Coast audiences get to be ahead of the curve when New People screens the film as part of the July 27 through August 4 film festival. "Rurouni Kenshin" joins the killer teacher movie from Miike "Lesson of the Evil" and the plastic surgery gone bad tale "Helter Skelter" in a 15-film lineup of genre-heavy fare.
