Once in a rare while I come across some extra-ordinary humans, almost like they have superpowers – in real life, who deserve a space on Superhero Profiles.
Take Lucas Murray for example, aka BATBOY, so nicknamed for being the first blind person in the US to “see” with his ears. Using the same abilities that bats use to fly at night, Lucas visualizes his surrounding by making clicking sounds with his tongue and listening for the echoes the sound makes as it bounces off objects. It’s an amazing ability that allows Lucas to move almost independently. He can even play …read more

It’s like this. It was supposed to be just a line party before the “Heroes” panel at SDCC on Saturday, so fans get to have fun while waiting in line (get in – “line” party). Well, NBC heard about that and decided to get the fans a proper venue… and throw in some talent appearances in there too.
So, if you’re a Heroes All-Access fan and you haven’t heard the news yet, here’s the invite –
Event: Heroes All Access fan club party at Comic-Con!        "Autographs, activities, fan club merch., general awesome!" …read more

Congratulations to “Heroes” for getting noms on two Emmy categories!

Paramount just announced that the street date for “Star Trek” DVD and Blu-ray will be November 17th!
I saw “Star Trek” on IMAX and was so blown away I can’t wait for the disc to come out, especially since the Blu-Ray has three discs worth of cool features!
Says J.J. Abrams – “The behind-the-scenes features on the DVD — and especially the Blu-ray — give a wonderful look at the crazy hard work and incredible fun that went into making this movie. The cast and crew were truly extraordinary to work with — watching these special features, you’ll see …read more

I’ll say this upfront: last year’s season of Smallville was probably one of the best the series offered! After lagging in the past years, the producers and writers of CW’s longest-running series has definitely brought Smallville up a notch higher. And all this in the absence of Lex Luthor and Lana Lang too!
Season 8 marked the time in Clark’s life when he moved up to Metropolis, becoming a prototype of the Daily Planet reporter we know him to be as Superman’s alter-ego. After spending an eternity at The Farm, Clark found his place… and space… opposite Lois Lane, …read more

Milo Ventimiglia talks about the latest issue of “Berserker”, the first full-length comic book that DividePictures published with Top Cow.
“Berserker” is a very graphic and brutal series about Americans who seem to have inherited the Viking warriors’ abilities to have uncontrollable rage. Said Milo in an interview with Top Cow, the story of “Berserker” centers around two modern-day warring families that lead up to a huge battle called Ragnarok.
The first issue came out with a limited signed (by Milo) variant cover to support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Have you guys read “Berserker”?
