SIN CITY 2
Creator Frank Miller talked to MTV
about the sequel, and who we can expect to return for more noir-ish
goodness. The article said, “Marv died in ‘Sin City’ — but that
doesn’t mean Mickey Rourke won’t be back for the sequel. Ditto for
Dwight (Clive Owen), Shellie (Brittany Murphy), Nancy (Jessica Alba),
Manute (Michael Clarke Duncan), Gail (Rosario Dawson) and the rest of
the Old Town gang. That’s because ‘Sin City’ is the ‘Pulp Fiction’ of
comic-book adaptations — since the interlinking stories aren’t linear,
when it comes time for the next installment in theaters, you’ll get a
prequel and a sequel at the same time. ‘It jumps around a bit,”
writer/co-director Frank Miller said, ‘but mostly it’s one story,
incorporating some short stories that weave in and out of that.’”

NEWSARAMA – CHECKMATE #1
This looks pretty interesting…
CHECKMATE #1
Tomorrow, we?ll be running an interview with Checkmate writer Greg Rucka about the new series that follows the re-formed and re-energized team in the DCU in the wake of Infinite Crisis. In the meantime, and to whet some appetites in regards to just what you?ll be able to expect from the upcoming series by Rucka, Jesus Saiz and covers by Lee Bermejo, we?ve got the first three pages of issue #1.The solicitation for the issue reads:
Checkmate holds the line. Cross it ? and they’ll take you off the board. Permanently.
In this thrilling new ongoing series, the team behind the blockbuster OMAC PROJECT ? writer Greg Rucka and artist Jesus Saiz ? returns with a different spy agency for a different world. Infinite Crisis has changed the DCU, and Checkmate has shaped its hard-learned lessons into a new game plan.
In Checkmate, it’s all about the balance of power. Between Black and White; between human and metahuman; and between the familiar faces who have become its new Kings and Queens. It’s also about the propaganda wars, black ops combat, and political manuevering that fuel Checkmate’s critical missions ? missions that take a grueling toll on the agents’ day-to-day lives.
First, however, they must prove their right to exist ? to the U.N. And they only have hours to do it in this breathtaking first issue!

DHS spokesman arrested in child sex sting
Brian J. Doyle faces 23 charges
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday at his Maryland home on charges he used his computer in an attempt to seduce a child and transmitted harmful materials to a minor, according to the Polk County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office.
Brian J. Doyle, 55, is charged with seven counts of use of a computer to seduce a child and 16 counts of transmission of harmful material to a minor, according to a sheriff’s office statement.
In interviews with police, Doyle confessed and has agreed to waive extradition to Florida, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.
On March 12, according to a police statement, Doyle contacted a Polk County computer crimes detective posing online as a 14-year-old girl “and initiated a sexually explicit conversation with her … Doyle knew that the ‘girl’ was 14 years old, and he told her who he was and that he worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”
