Trivia Time #6: Watchmen - How Much Do You Know?
Mar 9, 2009 Comics, Movies, Trivia Time
Now that the highly anticipated big screen version of Watchmen has opened theatrically this past weekend, let’s find out how much you remember about the DC Comics super team. It’s been over 20 years since the landmark comic book series was published, so hopefully your memory has held up.
There will be 10 questions in total. I will post the answers to these questions on the Trivia Answers page. No peeking until AFTER you have taken the quiz!
Continue on to take the quiz and be sure to keep score and find out how you did when you finish. Each question is worth one point unless otherwise noted.

A Great Read #8: Previews Review Edition - Previews Issue 246 - PART 1
Mar 2, 2009 A Great Read, Comics
The new issue of Previews was released this past Wednesday so that means it is time to dive in to see what looks exciting!
I encourage you to get a copy of the new Previews catalog if you don’t already have one so you can follow along with this entry. It’s certainly not required, but it will help out a bit. The catalog is pretty thick, so this entry will be done in 2 parts to ensure that as many items can be covered as possible.

No Best Picture for Dark Knight, But Heath Ledger’s Joker Gets Supporting Actor Nomination
Jan 22, 2009 Comics
The Academy released its list of Oscar nominations this morning and as you might guess, today’s entry is all about the Dark Knight. I suppose I am a bit surprised that the Dark Knight didn’t get a nomination for Best Picture. Everything seemed to be lining up in Batman’s favour as Heath Ledger’s complete ownership of the Joker was a lock for a nomination (and win) with Christopher Nolan and the movie itself at least considered strong favourites for recognition by many critics and fans.
