Cinderella, super-spy (and more)

My favorites of the DC Comics solicitations for January 2010.



Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love #3 cover by Chrissie Zullo. Check out the glass slipper logo:







Jack of Fables #42 cover by Brian Bolland. (The summary doesn't explain what's chasing Jack.)



The Atom & Hawkman #46 cover by Ryan Sook. As I understand it, the reverse negative look is a Blackest Night tie-in, running through various one-shots based on classic series.


Here's another:


Catowman #83 cover by Guillem March.

You can see all of the January 2010 DC Comics solicitations here. The big news is that the Planetary Vol.4 Hardcover is now available for preorder, issues #19-27 for 34% off at Amazon.

Homemade Batman costume (link roundup)



Batman costume made from a hoody and an umbrella. Go here for instructions. Via.

And a few more links:

1. Probably the most incendiary idea expressed in SuperFreakonomics is that global warming, to the extent it's something we even really need to worry very much about, could be solved in a few years with cheap technology available right now - - specifically using a really long hose, held aloft by balloons, to shoot a relatively small amount of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. The sulfur dioxide would spread out, blanket the Earth, reflect sunlight, and thus cool the planet. (This is expected to work because it mimics the effects of large volcanic eruptions, which have been documented to lower the Earth's temperature.) It's one the many creative solutions to major problems developed by Intellectual Ventures. Of course, it raises the question, if it's so easy to manipulate the planet's weather, then how long until some rogue maniac tries something similar on his own?

2. Papercraft passed-out bear/shriner.

3. Reaping what you sow: A suicide bomber killed 29 in an attack on Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

Video playthroughs of Batman Arkham Asylum and Halo ODST

Over at Youtube, you can watch complete video playthroughs of Batman Arkham Asylum and Halo ODST. Below are the opening cinemas and first segments of those games. Batman looks fantastic, dramatically better than the vastly overrated Dark Knight. Halo looks pretty lackluster.
