SUNK

Well, damn.
I had a lot of hope for an Aquaman TV show next fall. Definitely chalk this up to a case of the WB-UPN merger costing some viewers a show with a devoted following (Everwood), and a show that never got a chance (Mercy Reef).

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
As much press and buzz as this potential Aquaman show was generating, and the backing of the producers of Smallville, I have little doubt that it would have been a reality if the WB was on its own for the 2006 season.



This week's Best Shots @ Newsarama.com saw me covering a book and a character from a genre that I've never followed before, the Western and Jonah Hex. The current book has been stellar so far, and I highly recommend it. It's very user-friendly too in that each issue has been a self-contained story so far.

I'm also a contributor to an ongoing article in Newsarama that is intended to get readers up to speed on DC Comics characters who have been prominently featured in the stories like Infinite Crisis, 52, and "One Year Later."
