No DC Comics reviews for me this week as it seems Rebirth is taking a break (unless you need to go pick up those 2nd printings!-and you should!) So I will focus a little more on Marvel. Rumbles in the rumor community are suggesting Another reboot coming Marvel’s way real soon which promises to change the landscape of the Marvel Universe again! I’m guessing it will be the fallout from this terrible Civil War going on. Remember if there’s a book you want to have checked out, let me know and I will review it!

It's always cool to see the indie comic publishers getting movie deals -- especially a crazy, multi-film one. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Arcana Studios and Legacy Filmworks are teaming up for no less than five adaptations.
The first up is Paradox, based on the three issue series by Christos Gage, who also penned the film's screenplay alongside his wife, Ruth Fletcher Gage. It will be directed by Stargate: Atlantis helmer Brenton Spencer, and star Kevin Sorbo. Sorbo will play a cop of a parallel Earth (is there any other kind?) ruled by magic, who finds himself investigating a series of murders committed by the unknown force of science. You might snicker at the premise, but one of the characters is Winston Churchill, who gets to be a 130-year-old sorcerer. You can check out a preview here.
They've also lined up Martin Shapiro's Chopper, which follows a headless, ghostly biker named Jeremiah Payne.

Arcana Studios is developing a feature version of the comic book series Paradox, report the trades. Christos Gage, who wrote the Arcana Comics three-issue limited series, penned the script with Ruth Fletcher. Kevin Sorbo is attached to star and Brenton Spencer will direct. Spencer is a veteran television director, having helmed episodes for Stargate: Atlantis, Earth: Final Conflict, Andromeda and The Outer Limits. Paradox centers on homicide detective Sean Nault (Sorbo), a cop on a parallel Earth whose technology is powered exclusively by magic.

With the aid of Lenoir – a member of the ridiculed subculture of “pragmatists” who believe science is more than the stuff of myths and children’s stories – and the 130 year old sorcerer Winston Churchill, Sean uncovers an apocalyptic plot that will lead him to another dimension – ours – and the realization that,...
