Women Wednesday: Lauren

The only time that I have ever seen a gorgeous woman in a comic shop was when she was running the cash register. This behind the scenes video was done at a photo shoot for A Comic Shop.

Batman Teaming Up With Doc Savage

DC Universe: The Source has posted about the Batman/Doc Savage Special coming this November. This is not the first time that the Dark Knight have teamed up with a pulp character. He teamed up with the Shadow in Batman #253 (November 1973). The Dark Knight is teaming up with the Man of Bronze thirty-six years after that famous team up.

I would really like to see a team up between Superman and Doc Savage.

Bluewater Does Black Scorpion

You remember Black Scorpion, right? The 1995 movie starred Joan Severance in the title role as part of Showtime's Roger Corman Presents series. She once again donned the mask in 1997 for Black Scorpion II: Aftershock. In 2001, Michelle Lintel played the character in a tv series for the Sci Fi Channel. According to Comics Continuum, Bluewater Productions will be putting out a monthly title featuring the femme fatale with the first issue having two different covers.
