BySusana Polo Jan 25th, 2010, 11:32 am


Maybe you haven’t heard yet thatSam Raimiis leaving theSpider-Manfranchise, andSonyhas taken the opportunity to reboot the whole thing and make a new series. Go ahead and take a moment to mourn or celebrate, depending on which of Raimi’s Spider-Manfilmsisfreshestin yourmemory.We can only pray to the fandom gods thatj•k•西蒙斯is still on board.

If you’re interested in stories and the crafting thereof,Nick Nadelover onAMC’s SciFi Scannerhas a greatposton the dos and don’ts of rebooting a super-hero franchise. After all, fans of the printed word and of comics especially have grown accustomed to seeing our interests appropriated, booted, digested, and rebooted by the mainstream culture. Sometimes we even welcome it. Now somebody go give theBatman Beginstreatment toThe Dark is Rising.Please.

Susana Polo - Editor at Large

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
