No celebration of the history of Green Lantern would be complete without acknowledging Dwayne McDuffie. McDuffie was a titan in both the comic book and animation industries before he passed in 2011, co-founding Milestone Comics and helping turn Milestone character Static into a successful, beloved Saturday morning cartoon (Static Shock), among a myriad of other accomplishments in both mediums.
But to many superhero fans, McDuffie’s most iconic work was on Justice League Unlimited, the massively popular cartoon expansion of the Batman: The Animated Series universe. It was there that McDuffie paired John Stewart and Hawkgirl in what became a definitive romantic pairing for a generation of DC superhero fans. To honor his work with Stewart, Charlotte Fullerton McDuffie, his widow, and ChrisCross, his friend and former artistic collaborator, got together to jam out a John/Shayera story for June’s Green Lantern 80th Anniversary 100-Page Spectacular.

Today we celebrate the birthdays of two great Americans.
I realize for many celebrating on a day called President’s Day is now just a day to be off work.
The current President of the United States is all the reason some need to never celebrate on President’s day again. How can some support the racist comments and actions coming from the now leader of the free world?
No idea, but many seem embolden by these activities – including the hotel I’d thought was making a change for the better.
Maybe what’s wrong with America is we keep looking for what’s wrong with America.
I try to look at what’s right and work to make what isn’t so.
A bit over a year ago I was thrown out of a Hilton in Orange County California for what can only be a racist reason. I gave...

They died within a day of one another — but that’s not the only parallel in the lives of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher.
The mother-daughter duo’s Hollywood careers were filled with coincidences. From their signature movies to their troubled marriages, here are a few instances where their lives lined up.
Both had breakout roles at 19
Reynolds had one of those classic Hollywood discovery stories. As a contestant in the Miss Burbank beauty pageant when she was 16, a talent scout from Warner Bros. discovered her and signed her to a contract with the powerhouse studio.

The results of this Sunday’s TLC pay per view may well have been spoiled by WWE’s annual Tribute To The Troops show.
The tribute to the Us armed forces was taped this week in Jacksonville, Florida, but doesn’t air until next Wednesday – three days after the upcoming PPV.
TLC will see the defence of every championship on the main roster, and the belt-holders at this week’s special could therefore be those booked to win on Sunday – thereby allowing WWE to preserve a chronological sequence of on-air events.
Of course, there’s no ruling out the possibility that WWE will deviate from these apparent plans, and simply make it clear that Tribute To The Troops is a pre-taped event. With that in mind, be aware that the following paragraph contains potential TLC spoilers.

When Mark Waid joined the creative team on Jla, he told a pretty terrific story about Batman’s secret protocols for neutralizing the Justice League of America falling into Ra’s al Ghul’s hands. In the “Tower of Babel” story, he used it to take out the League in order to execute a plan for world domination. It made for a fine story arc that allowed Batman to leave the team for time and resonated with fans given the weighty thematic material. It has endured in memory and prompted Warner Premiere to approve Jla: Doom, an adaptation as a part of their ongoing series of direct-to-dvd animated features
The resulting production, on sale tomorrow, is bittersweet because it marks the final script from the talented Dwayne MacDuffie. And it needed series editing which clearly was not done, making it a deeply flawed adaptation of the source material. The dramatic core is here,...

Let’s face it. We can’t hide it. We all have those movies that we like that others would shun. These are guilty pleasures: the ones that aren’t that great but we love for some reason or another. Here are mine. Be sure to list yours in the comments, if you’d like.
Last Action Hero (1993)
Rotten Tomatoes: 38%
Actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Austin O’Brien, F. Murray Abraham, Art Carney, Charles Dance
Director: John McTiernan/Writers: Shane Black and David Arnott
Here’s the thing: I will defend this movie’s concept till Doomsday. A movie about a kid with a magic ticket that gets pulled into an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie? Genius concept. Yes, the kid is annoying. Yes, the movie doesn’t reach the heights of a McTiernan/Black team-up as well as one might think. It’s interesting to note that McTiernan isn’t working as much...

Cbr (www.comicbookresources.com) provided this Update on the passing of multi-talented comic book and media writer Dwayne McDuffie yesterday afternoon:
1:25 Pm Pst: Cbr has learned that McDuffie died from complications due to a surgical procedure performed Monday evening.
I didn’t find out about this until close to midnight last night and yelled out in sheer horror. It really threw me for a loop. Like S&A commenter Skyvolt said in the previous McDuffie post, he didn’t cry about lack of Black characters, he did something about it. Weird, I was just watching All-Star Superman yesterday and was looking forward to the new Static monthly book (though not written by him) to come out in a few months. Man, I’m still shocked, no dumb pun intended. Only Jam Master J’s passing threw me for more of a wallop.

Comic book, television, and movie writer Dwayne McDuffie, who wrote comic books for Marvel and DC and co-founded the comic book company Milestone Media before crossing over to television and animation, has died at the age of 49 from complications due to a surgical procedure performed Monday evening.
Milestone Media, co-founded by McDuffie expanded the role of minorities in comics and launched a line of superheroes (through DC Comics) that included Static, Hardware, Icon, Blood Syndicate and Xombi, all of which McDuffie had a hand in creating. One of Milestone’s featured characters, Static, made the leap to television in 2000 as the hero of the award-winning animated series Static Shock.
Throughout his career, McDuffie wrote comics for both DC Comics and Marvel Comics, including Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Fantastic Four, Captain Marvel and Justice League of America. McDuffie also scripted several animated television shows and features, including Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths...
