Even CNN is getting in on it!


CNN tries to prognosticate as to what properties Disney might be interested in as they run a slideshow on Marvel's next 5 superheroes. CNN's candidates: Sub-Mariner, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Doctor Strange and Morbius.

Morbius? Are they kidding? Morbius might be a contender for one of the villains in Spider-Man 4 as stated here, so I don't know whether CNN is basing this on actual development info or if they asked Karl in the copy room what he'd like to see. I suspect something along the lines of the latter.

UFOs in the News!

This story from Reuters by way of Yahoo is pretty interesting. Interesting in the way that it's not classified under the old "Weekly World News"/"Weird News" heading, but as an actual not-crazy-but-it's-actual-news kind of story.

Some people might say that it's further evidence of the confusion between "actual news" and "entertainment" and cry about the downfall of standards, the further ruination of our great society, and more blah de blah.

I just find it really interesting...
