Looks like after he suggested Community’s Donald Glover should play Spider-Man a few years ago, comics and entertainment writer Marc Bernardin has figured out a new way to break the Internet in half: blogging about the possibility of Netflix bringing back Joss Whedon’s beloved Firefly.

Before we go any further, this is completely idle speculation on Bernardin’s part. There is no news from Netflix, no discussion of Firefly being brought back from Whedon, and no news. Except… Maybe there is. After Bernardin put his original post on Twitter, actor Nathan Fillion – Mal Reynolds from Firefly, but then you knew that – posted this on Twitter:

Take a comic book, put it on TV, and the fans go nuts. Take a TV show and adapt it to a comic and… Not so much. Mainly because most of them are shockingly bad. That said? There’s been a few TV to comic book adaptations that don’t just not suck, they’re actually good. Here are ten of the best:

10. True Blood

IDW’s recent comics based on the sweaty, dirty HBO vampire series may lack the wall-to-wall nudity, but they make up for it in crazy creatures and buckets of blood. It’s tough to nail the voices of “real” characters, but these comics do it swimmingly… Fake sounding Southern accents and all.

9. Supernatural

Joss Whedon is a fantastic storyteller, and on a side note, I am super thrilled that he’s directing The Avengers (2012)!!!! I get excited anytime I hear that he’s attached to a project. After all, he has written some of the most geektastic television shows ever, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly. Now, I haven’t met nearly as many Dollhouse fans as I have Buffy or Firefly, but there is a loyal fan base out there and with good reason. Read more...

So if you are as big a Clone Wars fan as I am, you CERTAINLY know who the incredible Ashley Eckstein is! Not only does she play the voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: Clone Wars, but Ashley also created her own line of fangirl merchandise last year called Her Universe. Ashley saw the need for sci-fi gear that wasn't just made for boys. I bought her Star Wars hoodie and practically sleep in it every night!!

If you're going to be at San Diego's Comic Con next week, you'll be able to check out Ashley and HER UNIVERSE as they premiere it's all-new SyFy branded line, including merchandise from Battlestar Galactica, Warehouse 13 and "Syfy's Original Movies." I am also a HUGE Battlestar Galactica and cannot wait to get my hot little hands on her stuff!!! Included in the launch are shirts, a sweatshirt and jewelry “designed in part by women for women,” which will also be available online.

“I am so excited to be partnering with Syfy as they are a television destination for millions of fangirls,” said Ashley Eckstein. “As women, we are passionate about our favorite shows and characters and we want to show off that passion by the items we wear. Now, just like Star Wars, all of the female Syfy fans will have some feminine and fashionable pieces made just for them.”

HER UNIVERSE is also offering two popular Star Wars designs in children’s sizes for younger fangirls too! Ashley knows how to take care of us girls!!!

Also don't miss the HER UNIVERSE-sponsored special panel at Comic-Con featuring a group of distinguished panelists from film, television, comics and publishing. This year’s topic, “What Women Want in Their Sci-Fi Heroes,” is hosted by Eckstein and is scheduled for Thursday, July 21st from 6pm to 7pm in room 25ABC.

Come find WOODSY if you're gonna be there!!

A few weeks ago, Starz, the network that’s launching a brand new series of Torchwood, sent out a press release trumpeting the new coat John Barrowman would be wearing on screen. Between releases trumpeting new trailers, online games, and more, it stuck out to your faithful garment-challenged MTV Geek writer, but we put up a – some might say snarky – post, all the same. And then almost immediately, were corrected about certain details over Twitter by the designer of the coat, Shawna Trpcic.

Turns out that I’m the ignoramus here, and Trpcic gracefully agreed to an interview to chat more about why the changes in the coat were important. It also turns out that Trpcic is the costume designer behind pretty much all of your favorite geek shows, from the dusty future of Firefly, to the superheroes of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog. And now, Trpcic is creating a New World with Captain Jack, Gwen Cooper, and some mystery enemies called “The Soulless.” We chatted with Trpcic about all of that, and also got some info on Joss Whedon’s long waiting in the wings feature, Cabin in the Woods:

MTV Geek: Let’s talk about Torchwood, which you’re working on right now… There’s a lot of new characters, of course, but you do have some pre-existing characters: Captain Jack, Gwen Cooper, etc… What’s it like trying to adapt another designer’s looks to American TV?

Shawna Trpcic: I just updated them - slimmed them down and accentuated their bodies. Actors work really hard at keeping in shape, why hide it! I love the human figure, and love to show it off. Read more...

Think back to the television shows that were cancelled even though you loved them with all your heart and soul, shows that were cut down right as they were getting really, really good. Now, think back to what network they were on. When I was thinking back over some of my favorite cancelled television shows, I realized that Fox was the one responsible for killing a LOT of them. Which brings me to ask, why does Fox love to torture us geeks? Sure, Fox does have some good shows, but they have also cancelled a lot of good shows as well, and it makes me irritated every time I think about it.

First up on Fox’s unjustified reject list is Dollhouse. Created by Joss Whedon and starring Eliza Dushku, this television show is about a corporation programming people (dolls) with temporary skills and knowledge for various purposes like infiltrating a mob group or just to have as a companion. Dollhouse was only given 9 months before it was cancelled, premiering in February 2009 and being cancelled in November of the same year. Only 27 episodes were produced. But what Fox didn’t see in the show, Dark Horse Comics did because it will be releasing the first issue of a Dollhouse mini comic series written by Andrew Chambliss July 11, 2011. Read more...
