Posted: 28 Mar 2011 07:59 PM PDT

Doctor Who Series 6

It's full steam ahead for Doctor Who Series 6, as the promotional material keeps on coming out. As you may recall from our report and posting of the prequel for "The Impossible Astronaut," there was rumor floating around the web that there was another trailer coming for the new season. BBC has confirmed that there will be a second trailer and that it will be posted online tomorrow (Tuesday, March 29, 2011).

The trailer is a minute long, and will air first on BBC1 in the UK. There is no time confirmation for the airing at this time, but for our UK Geeks of Doom, The Doctor Who News Page is reporting it will most likely be during primetime viewing in the evening. An edited 20-second version of the trailer will air on CBBC (BBC for kids).

As soon as the new trailer is available, we will have it posted for you right here at Geeks of Doom.

In the meantime, check out the new promotional poster image the BBC has released for the first episode of Doctor Who Series 6. They've labeled it as an "iconic image" for both "The Impossible Astronaut" and the entire season [...]

Showtime Gets Hungry For Adaptation Of Comic Book ‘Chew’

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:40 PM PDT

Chew

Showtime has picked up a script for a half-hour cop show based on a comic book series titled Chew.

The comic book series follows a Federal agent named Tony Chu that can get psychic images from the things that he eats. He gets assigned to the most bizarre crimes and he has to eat his way through the investigation. The comic, created by John Layman and Rob Guillory and published by Image Comics, is darkly funny and completely unique compared to the horde of tights and fights books on store shelves. Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer (Eureka) wrote the Chew script that will now be further revised by Showtime for their network.

A story like Chew is perfect for a cable network, at a minimum AMC, and at best HBO or Showtime, so it's exciting that the network that gave us Dexter will develop the project [...]

Take A Look At Smallville’s Booster Gold and Blue Beetle

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 12:17 PM PDT

Smallville's Booster Gold and Blue Beetle

The majority of us are aware that DC Comics characters Booster Gold and Jaime Reyes, The Blue Beetle, will be appearing on a Geoff Johns-scripted episode of the 10-year spanning Superman series Smallville, but what we didn't know is how a show that swears by their "No tights" policy was going to feature the future timestream-riding Booster Gold and the Scarab-infected Blue Beetle.

And with a little help from TV Guide, we get to see exactly what they are going to look like. Check out the image above of the two superheroes [...]

Geoff Johns To Pen New ‘Aquaman’ Comic Book Series

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 11:20 AM PDT

Aquaman - Brightest Day

At Megacon over the weekend, some pretty big news in the comic book industry was announced, and the biggest story to hit the net was that head of DC Entertainment, and DC Comics superstar writer Geoff Johns would be heading up two new comic book series once Brightest Day wraps up.

Although one is yet to be announced, Johns posted to Twitter that he will be writing a brand new Aquaman series, with Aquaman #1 coming out later this year. You can check out this tweet here [...]

Get An Early Look At ‘Tomb of Dracula Presents: Throne of Blood #1′

Posted: 28 Mar 2011 09:05 AM PDT

Tomb of Dracula 1

Writer Victor Gischler (X-Men, Death Of Dracula) and artist Goran Parlov (Marvel Universe Vs. The Punisher) bring us this tale of the rise of one special vampire above the rest of his kind from the ashes of a feud that tore his kind apart. This mysterious new leader of the vampires is a character from Marvel's past that will also be central to the epic Fear Itself story that will be kicking off in April. Tomb of Dracula Presents: Throne of Blood #1 hits the shelves at your favorite comic book shop April 27th.

So we have an early look at what promises to be something different for Marvel heads to dig into. The cover art is modern and pretty great, but the interior pages feel very old school comic book. Backgrounds are a little bland overall. This style could very well be appropriate to the story the creators are trying to tell. These are great images because they not only show the art but they also offer up a little sample of the writing.

Check them out and let us know what you think! [...]
