RED HULK

Hulk, Vol. 1: Red Hulk (Hardcover) by Jeff Loeb (Author) and Ed McGuiness (Illustrator) Just read Red Hulk and it's a pretty darn good, light, breezy, slam-bang, gee-whiz comic book. Playing like a sci-fi monster movie-murder mystery, it doesn't get bogged down by a lot of exposition or deep thinking, and gets right to the Hulk-Smash action. This is the kind of comic I like the most - lots of action, great character interaction, artwork that fits the story, and enough dangling plot lines to bring you back for the next issue. And as a mystery there are twists and turns and a resolution of sorts by the end of chapter six. But this is no The Long Halloween , it's much less weighty and much less gloomy.

Can't really talk about much right now but we're working on a new show for the Discovery Channel. We're knee deep in it already and we have a camera crew en route to a remote location as we speak. Well, as I blog... If you just can't stand it, and need to know more, e-mail me. You will have to sign papers, give blood, etc.

R.I.P. ELI STONE & PUSHING DAISIES

ABC will not be ordering anymore episodes of "Eli Stone" or "Pushing Daisies" beyond the current 13 episode agreement. It's a dark week indeed for the pie-maker and the philosopher. With so much junk cluttering the airwaves, on both cable and broadcast, you'd think that the alphabet would stick with quality programming. I mean c'mon - they're keeping "Private Practice" and bringing back "According to Jim"!!! SAVE PUSHING DAISIES SAVE ELI STONE Save 'em both!

STILL TRUCKIN' at MHP

We continue to inch forward toward completion of the Nat Geo project. The show will fall under their anthology banner "Man Made". Here's a link to The National Geographic Channel site so you can check it out. National Geographic Channel: MAN-MADE

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: WOW!

That's right. There's a new sheriff in town. How amazing and awesome it is to live in a country like ours with free elections! And even MORE amazing that we, the United States of America, have elected a black man to be our president! We are moving forward folks. Slowly but surely the U.S. is moving forward. Now don't get all crazy over the photo, or try to read something into it. It's just then Senator Obama having some fun in Metropolis, Illinois after one of his town hall meetings. Ya know, Superman? Metropolis? Ha! God Bless America!
