Head over here for a look at Joss Whedon's upcoming show, Dollhouse debuting this Fall on Fox. Reteaming Whedon with Buffy co-star Eliza Dushka, the sci-fi show looks promising. Also starring Tahmoh Penikett better known to fans of Battlestar Galactica as Helo. What the frak!?
Also, if you get a chance, head over to youtube for a look at the new JJ Abrams sci-fi show, also debuting on Fox in the fall, Fringe. Looks promising in an X-Files sort of way.

Chip Kidd is back to re-inventing the look of book covers. This time its with mainstream, monthly comics. Yes, yes, he's designed plenty of comic book covers before, and had a huge impact on the look of many a Batman-related book and trade.
But this time, it's on a book that will be on shelves monthly and heralds one of DC's biggest books in the last twenty years, Final Crisis by Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones.

I will be seeing Iron Man tomorrow night, but as excited as I am about that, I don't think the movie is going to hold a candle to the Batman sequel.
Look for an Iron Man review later in the week.
