Doctor Who- Series 4 footage

After the start of Doctor Who season 4 tonight, you can bet that Whovians are all aflutter about their favorite Timelord. But what’s a new season without the old monsters?

Caught in the act, here’s on the spot footage of Daleks in series 4. In the footage we see Daleks rounding up humans on a contemporary London street.

Watch it while it lasts…

To add to the excitement, here is a trailer video featuring dual-weaponed Daleks, the Ood and the Sontarans:

One last vid for the night, an exclusive documentary on the Adipose from the series 4 opener ‘Partners in Crime.’

JSA Welcomes you to Earth 2

ComicBookResources.com has a great interview (and nifty new look!) with Geoff Johns about the upcoming Justice Society of America Annual to be released this Summer.

The annual will re-introduce an idea that DC Comics has struggled for over a decade to unwrite and then tried twice as hard to bring back, the Multiple Earths. Introduced in the classic Gardner Fox story Flash of Two Worlds and later used to a greater degree as a way for Roy Thomas to write the further adventures of the JSA, Earth 2 is where the ‘old super heroes live.’ This is the Earth where the heroes fought in WWII and aged, had families, etc. It’s actually a very good idea and one that I’m eager to see Johns explore.

Seeing Jerry Ordway on art chores is an added bonus!

“Huntress is the reason we are doing this. She’s Batman’s daughter and she kicks ass,” laughed Johns. “She’s awesome. And it’s a thrill to write her.”

Another reason, said Johns, was that he was desperate to work again with legendary artist Jerry Ordway (“All-Star Squadron,” “Infinity Inc.”), who provided artwork for both the original “Crisis on Infinite Earths” and “Infinite Crisis.”“Nobody else can draw the story because it’s Jerry’s story,” explained Johns. “It wouldn’t work without him. Jerry Ordway is one of my absolute favorite artists in the business. He’s one of the greats and he’s one of the few whose craft still improves today. I worked with him on [‘Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime’] and it was brilliant. We have worked here and there before but for me to actually work with him on a full project, and it’s just all for him, is really exciting. I hope I get to work with Jerry on more and more things.

“The way we are looking at the Multiverse in ‘Justice Society of America’ is very art driven; it is very creator driven, so when ever you see something that takes place on the world of ‘Kingdom Come,’ Earth-22, Alex [Ross] paints it. Because that’s what that Earth is. It’s creator driven.

“The same thing happens with Earth-2. Whenever you go there, you have to see Jerry draw it. It’s just got to be him because it’s HIS Earth. Jerry Ordway IS Earth-2. That’s his. It belongs to him.
