Johns to co-write ‘Shazam!’ movie

August 20th, 2009, 3:51 pm by Chris "KeL" Adams

shazamThat Geoff Johns certainly is one busy guy. Seriously, how does he find time to sleep at night? Not only is he writing several comic books a month, including Blackest Night - DC’s big summer event, he’s also writing and producing on a Flash movie, now he’s also co-writing “Shazam!,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Hopefully, this project will have more success than the previous attempts which have languished endlessly in development limbo. DC seems to be doing their best to play catch-up with their rivals at Marvel, who have a strong slate of projects in development, including Captain America, Thor and The Avengers.

The Flash movie gains speed

July 21st, 2009, 12:01 am by Chris "KeL" Adams

flashAfter the massive hit of “The Dark Knight,” DC Comics has been silent on the big screen, but that’s set to change soon. The Hollywood Reporter has an interesting article about the state of affairs with DC Comics’ current slate of movies. Most interestingly is the news that Geoff Johns, one of the brightest stars in DC’s writing stable, has written a treatment and will be a producer on a Flash movie.

Johns is pretty much the king of the castle right now when it comes to the DC Universe. He’s the brains behind this summer’s biggest event in comics, Blackest Night. Whenever they’re looking to make a splash with a book, DC turns to Johns. So if he is being entrusted with a Flash movie, you can bet DC’s putting some serious muscle behind the project to ensure its success.

Talking cars, sci-fi stars and stalwart superheroes are invading local comic shops this Saturday for Free Comic Book Day 2009.

Comic books began as a way for publishers to make money from idle printing presses by reprinting newspaper comic strips, but they have clearly taken on a life of their own. The industry celebrates this success each year on the first Saturday in May and tries to bring new readers into the fold with Free Comic Book Day.

But there’s more than free comics. Atomic Comics will host a slew of comic book creators at its various Valley locations, including Green Lantern: Blackest Night writer Geoff Johns, Flash and Green Lantern Rebirth artist Ethan Van Sciver and Supergirl writer Sterling Gates at the Mesa store. The official Marvel Comics Wolverine will appear 10 a.m. to noon at the Phoenix store, 1 to 3 p.m. at the Paradise Valley store and 5 p.m. to closing at the Chandler Fashion Center location. And select artists will be doing sketches for $5, with proceeds benefiting the Hero Iniative, a financial safety net for comic creators.

Spazdog Comics in Phoenix will have Jeff Mariotte, fomerly of IDW, author of many novels and writer for Presidential Material: Barack Obama, and local Daniel Davis who creates the daily webcomic Monster Commute.
