Catwoman #1

DC

Written by Judd Winick; art and cover by Guillem March

Sep 27, 2011 Comic Books Web Exclusive

Catwoman #1 gets the series off to a solid start, mainly due to the dynamic art by Guillem March, rather than the breezy and not overly complex story by Judd Winick.

Birds of Prey #1

DC

Written by Duane Swierczynski; Art by Jesus Saiz

Sep 27, 2011 Comic Books DC Universe

While this book may not be as technically proficient as, say, the very good Wonder Woman #1, there is a lot to like in Birds of Prey #1.

Sep 27, 2011 Music Web Exclusive

2011 has been quite the year for Ladytron. In March, the British foursome put out their 10-year greatest hits collection, Best of Ladytron: 00-10, and now they’re releasing their fifth album, the band’s most grandiose and formal album yet.

Batman #1

DC

Written by Scott Snyder; Art by Greg Capullo & Jonathan Glapion; Colors by FCO Plascencia; Cover by Greg Capullo; Variant cover by Ethan Van Sciver

Sep 27, 2011 Comic Books DC New 52

Batman #1 comfortably sits alongside the relaunches Action Comics, Animal Man, Batwoman, Justice League, Swamp Thing, and Wonder Woman. It’s one of the best examples that DC’s New 52 relaunch is an out-and-out success.

Captain Atom #1

DC

Written by J.T. Krul; Art by Freddy Williams II

Sep 26, 2011 Comic Books DC New 52

As much as I was rather pleased to find that Kyle Higgins’ Nightwing #1 was far better than his Deathstroke relaunch, I was pleasantly surprised with J.T. Krul’s Captain Atom #1 in the face of his rather lackluster Green Arrow #1 from a few weeks ago.

Terra Nova

Fox, Mondays 8/7 Central

Sep 26, 2011 TV Web Exclusive

To escape a dystopian future, the Shannon family volunteers to be sent 85 million years into the past to join a settlement of humans on Mesozoic Earth. Terra Nova is one of the most visually arresting shows in television history, from its lush Australian sets to the believable prehistoric creatures that terrorize the settlers.

Sep 26, 2011 Music Wilco

The latest Wilco album further drives home the fact that, while there would be no Wilco without leading light Jeff Tweedy, the group is hardly Tweedy-plus-accompanists. The Whole Love, their first on the band’s own dBpm imprint, is a record performed by a bunch of players who are utterly comfortable in the collective skin that they shed on a regular basis.

Hart of Dixie

CW, Mondays 9/8 Central

Sep 26, 2011 TV Web Exclusive

Summer Roberts as a doctor? The O.C.’s Rachel Bilson plays title character Dr. Zoe Hart in Hart Of Dixie. It’s difficult to get past the fact that she looks like a middle school-aged catalog model with an attitude to match.

Sep 25, 2011 TV Fox

The Simpsons have been in a critical tailspin for quite some time now. The season premiere of the 23rd season doesn’t change much. “The Falcon and the D’Ohman” finds 24 action star Kiefer Sutherland guest starring yet again.
