ATR Confidential Welcome to back to another edition of ATR.  That my friends, is a cover from the forthcoming Joker miniseries by Azzarello and Bermejo. No word yet on when this one is coming.

Ballad of Serenity We’ve received word that the new Serenity miniseries from Dark Horse will be titled Better Days and will be set during the Firefly TV series. Why? Well, for starters, all of the characters were still around at that point in the time. It’s also said to explore some plotlines that weren’t used in the original series. As expected, Joss Whedon will be co-writing this one with Brett Matthews, his collaborator on the first Serenity mini. No word yet on the artist, but Adam Hughes is rumored to be doing the covers. As for stories that take place after the Serenity feature film… the success of the Serenity DVD may allow for a true sequel to be made. It’s just talk at this point, there are no deals and no guarantees… But there’s still hope… This Has A “Burn The Land And Boil The Sea” Factor of Eight Out of Ten

It’s Gotta Be The Shoes Some of my readers have written to tell that some of the hottest shoes coming out this month are… Nike Air Sneakers based on the Fantastic Four?! Yes, it’s true. There are shoes based on the Human Torch, Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Thing and Dr. Doom.  Here’s a better look at the Human Torch:  And the Invisible Woman, which is apparently a Man’s shoe as well:  From what I’ve been told, there’s a lot of demand for these, especially for the Invisible Woman “clear shoe.” I hear that some “entrepreneurs” are already selling for hundreds of dollars! It sounds ridiculous, but Nike Air has its subculture of fans and collectors much like our own subculture. This is a rare meeting of the two worlds… This Has An “Air Apparent” Factor of Six Out of Ten
