If you are 1/2 the Geoff Johns fan that I am you are waiting on pins and needles for the January episode of Smallville entitled “Society.” Johns gave fans the following tidbits via Twitter…
Yes, Hawkman will have wings. And a big mace. Oh. And he and Green Arrow don’t get along. At all.
Michael Shanks just cannot get away from Egyptian symbology as he’s stepped away from the Stargate but into the harness of Hawkman, whose origin is deeply rooted in ancient Egypt. The actor playing Doctor Fate is another Stargate refugee… Brent Strait. The presence of Britt Irvin as Stargirl threw me – I was thinking abut the predecessors of the JLA in a mentoring role to Clark, not so much the modern legacy JSA members. I wonder if any of the other new blood will show up?
I LOVED last season’s Legion episode. I would be overjoyed to see a spin-off from either that episode or this upcoming “Society.” I think both are rife with possibilities. Especially if they involve the mind of Geoff Johns. My only fear is him becoming a bigtime writer for TV and not having time for the red-headed bastard stepchild that is the comics industry. I’m talking to YOU Heinberg!
GALLERY UPDATED: GLEE’s resident crooning bad boy Noah Puckerman a.k.a. Puck a.k.a. Mark Salling has the most obvious sex appeal of all the GLEE boys. I wonder if the’ll ever let him shave off that mohawk?
Salling, a native of the lone star state left Dallas, Texas with nothing but a suitcase and guitar, moved to Tinsletown, hoping to catch a break and make it on talent alone. But as with most who head out west, the beginning was slow-going—he attended the Los Angeles Music Academy in Pasadena, CA and got a job teaching guitar lessons .
Salling recently released his debut solo album “Smoke Signals” under the pseudonym Jericho (which has also been referred to as the ame of his band). Mark plays guitar, piano, bass and drums as well as writing, producing and singing lead vocals on all his eclectic blend of indie and alternative rock inspired by Thom Yorke and Trent Reznor.
A career years in the making, and five agonizing auditions for “Glee” later, Salling booked the role of “Puck,” the hardcore jock wired with showtunes, beating out several well-known actors for the part.
Gotta love a hot rocker boy in a Batman tee. Here he is in his pre-GLEE days (not going back as far as I could… he was in Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering in 1996) being interviewed for his "band" Jericho.
Salling has "committed to a lifestyle of perfecting his primary passion, branching out into all genres, jazz, country, rock, pop and even hip-hop."
When he’s not filming the show, Salling can almost always be found behind a guitar or set of keys. Additionally, he enjoys playing basketball, frisbee golf and lifting weights while remaining active in his love of birds and wildlife by volunteering with the James Hunter Wildlife Rescue charity. He enjoys jazz nights at local Hollywood bars and always makes sure there is time left over for his beloved Blue Heeler, “Hank.”

Joss Whedon’s Sugarshack won the Eisner Award for Best Web Comic when originally presented in the first online issues of MySpace Dark Horse Presents. Now Whedon’s award-winning story gets its own comic!
Sugarshock tells the story of a rock band led by charismatic but crazy Dandelion Naizen, a hyperactive singer/songwriter possessed of a mean hatred of Vikings (don’t ask) and a mission for a secret government agency that may only exist in her head. But when her band, which includes a robot bass player, is enlisted in an intergalactic battle of the bands — emphasis on battle — Dandelion gets to prove herself as both singer and soldier.
Joss Whedon at his funniest and most hyperactive, with writing that bursts off the page in a way seldom seen in comics. Multiple Eisner Award winner Fabio Moon delivers the outrageous story with equal energy, as well as providing a fourteen-page look at his process, with never-before-seen character designs, page layouts, and promotional images.
This is a must check out book for Jos Whedon fans like myself. If you’d like to see the original award-winning webcomic… look no further! (just click)
