https://www.newsarama.com/44344-joe-sinnott-retires-after-69-year-career.html Long-time Marvel creator Joe Sinnott has formally retired after 69 years in the comic book industry. The news was announced on Facebook by his son, Mark Sinnott, coinciding with the inker's last Sunday Amazing Spider-Manstrip. "My dad, Joltin' Joe wants to thank all the fans for their support of the Spidey strip through the years. Now at 92, and working for Marvel for 69 years, Joe can finally say that he is 'officially' retired! What a great run, dad," Mark Sinnott wrote on Facebook. Sinnott had worked on the Amazing Spider-Man strip for 27 years, following his first 'retirement' from as a full-time contracted Marvel artist in 1992 "We need to thank the following creators for their work on the Spidey strip during Joe's incredible 27-year run on the strip: Stan Lee and Roy Thomas, who made this all possible. Letterers Stan Sakai and Janice Chiang, Pencilers Larry Lieber, Ron Frenz, Paul Ryan, Sal Buscema, Fred Kida, and for the past 22 years Alex Saviuk," Mark Sinnott wrote. "Also a huge thanks to the inkers that "filled in" for Joe from time to time: Jim Amash, Terry Austin, Bob Wiacek, Mark Sinnott, Belinda Sinnott, Tim Estiloz and Jim Tournas. Thanks for making Spidey look good all these years Dad." Sinnott rose to fame as Jack Kirby's inker on Fantastic Four, and went on to be one of Marvel's longest-running artists. The 92-year-old artist plans to continue making convention appearances, including May's Undiscovered Realm Comic Con

https://www.newsarama.com/43387-star-trek-4-cancelled-report.html Paramount's Star Trek 4 has been canceled, according to Deadline. The Hollywood trade reports that the untitled film which would have been the fourth in the franchise which began with 2009's J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek has been "shelved." Director SJ Clarkson was reportedly signed on to direct the now cancelled film. Clarkson will direct the pilot for HBO's upcoming untitled Game of Thrones prequel show. The film, which in one iteration would reportedly have brought back Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk in a time travel adventure, first ran aground in August 2018 when Hemsworth and James T. Kirk actor Chris Pine reportedly exited the film over budgetary issues. The last film in the series, Star Trek Beyond, was released in 2016.

https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/01/03/mile-high-comics-closes-its-glendale-store-after-28-years/ Mile High Comics is one of the biggest comic stores in the USA, with a massive online warehouse that dwarfs everyone else. But as of 2019, it will have one fewer stores – one with quite a history. At the end of December, between Christmas and New Year, their Glendale, Colorado store was cleared out, stock redistributed to their other stores. Owner Chuck Rozanski explained on his site, When we first opened our store we had inexpensive rent, abundant parking, a really nice landlord, and the huge Celebrity Sports Centerright across the parking lot. All of that changed, beginning with the demolition of that wonderful amusement complex filled with swimming pools, waterslides, and bowling alleys (originally built by a partnership of Walt Disney, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, and a dozen other Hollywood investors), in 1994. Parking is now nonexistent, we have a new landlord, and our rent has gone up 350%! Sadly, it is time to go. In a flier he wrote It is with a heavy heart that I must pass on to you the news that we are closing our Glendale location permanently on December 31st. Our decision was based upon many factors, including rising operating costs, intolerable parking shortages, and the lack of air-conditioning” as well as the departure of store manager Aaron Tucker, who Chuck calls “the heart and soul of this wonderful operation for nearly twenty years. We simply cannot conceive on continuing to operate this location without his boundless energy and enthusiasm. As Chuck moved stock in his truck to the Jason Street Mile High Comics Megastore, he posted, We had a truly awesome dedicated core of devoted comics fans who’s patronage kept that wonderful little store alive for 28 years, but the complete lack of parking in that shopping center made a mockery of the $5,000+ in rent that we were paying each month, especially for a smallish second floor location. And he took the opportunity to remind customers of any store, On a closely related topic, I do want to urge everyone who reads my newsletter to please resolve to support their local comics retailer during 2019. The economics of selling new issues has become total madness as the cover prices of periodical comics now reach up into the $5/copy range. With comics retailers buying non-returnable (an arrangement that I helped to pioneer in the late-1970’s), all the risk is upon them as regards unsold product. That worked well when cover prices were under $1, but today’s high cover prices are causing crippling losses to comics retailers whenever a title sells fewer copies than expected. To illustrate what I mean, take note of the number of new comics that your local retailer has sitting on his shelves that are over 2 weeks old. Based upon the traditional measure in the magazine business that 90%of the sales on any given issue occur during the first 15 days after release, those unsold copies are essentially a lost cause. A few may yet sell, and there is always some long term residual demand as back issues, but for the most part those unsold issues have just declined in value by at least 90%. Sadly, even the best and brightest retailers misjudge on occasion, and the consequences of unsold new comics stock can now be devastating. With a wholesale cost of upwards of $2 each, any significant number of unsold new comics can easily wipe out an entire week’s earnings for a comics specialty store in a heartbeat. Simply put, the risks of selling new comics in a comics specialty store now far outweigh the rewards.

Finished watching the cross over. I liked the trial for the crisis.

The rule is 3 months but your are really paying for life

Bribery works. Offer them a Christmas gift

The Lyrics make so much sense in today's modern world

That TV in the raffle as well?

I just kept crying until I got one

Campbell kinda reminds me of Michael Turners Art

Its the same thing that happens after anyone comic related passes. I hope to be able to own a piece of Neal Adams or Alex Ross art before they pass.

I am impressed chuck has already identified who to sue.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/17/arts/television/sesame-street-big-bird.html WOODSTOCK, Conn. — The friendly, bearded face of Caroll Spinney may not be one you recognize immediately. But if you have watched TV at any point in the past 50 years or so, you are almost certainly familiar with his work. Since 1969, he has played the parts of the gentle, inquisitive Big Birdand the lovably disgruntled Oscar the Grouch on “Sesame Street,” the long-running children’s program. This Thursday, as he so often has, Spinney, 84, plans to travel to the studios in Astoria, Queens, where “Sesame Street” is produced, and record some voices for his colorful alter egos. Then he will retire from the program: His roles will be passed on to new performers and his remarkable half-century run, in which he has embodied two of the most beloved characters on television, will come to an end. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit education organization that produces “Sesame Street,” did not have a precise figure for the number of episodes Spinney has appeared in, but a spokeswoman said the number was likely thousands of the more than 4,400 episodes that have been created.

https://screenrant.com/toys-r-us-reopening-bankruptcy/ It seems like not all hope is lost with regard to Toys "R" Us as the company may eventually restart operations in the United States after its controlling lenders decided to cancel the scheduled bankruptcy auction. Last year, news broke out that the struggling retailer may be closing its doors to its loyal customers as it gears up to file for bankruptcy. Soon after, the move became official, and although the stores remained open during 2017's holiday shopping season, which is usually their busiest time of the year, the inevitable happened with over 735 stores all over the country shutting down one by one to the dismay of the brand's patrons. This also left 33,000 people without jobs. But in a shocking turn of events, it appears as if there's still a chance that Toys "R" Us may once again restart operations. In the court documents acquired by WSJ, it's revealed that lenders have decided to cancel the upcoming bidding of properties. "Notwithstanding the receipt of Qualified Bids for certain of the Intellectual Property Assets, the Debtors have determined, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, to cancel the Intellectual Property Auction," the legal papers revealed. It turns out that the selling debtors "have determined that the Qualified Bids were not reasonably likely to yield a superior alternative to the Plan, including with respect to: (i) the probable economic recovery to creditors of the Selling Debtors’ estates; and (ii) the benefits to other direct and indirect stakeholders of maintaining the Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us brands under a newly-established, independent U.S. business, including, without limitation, expected expansion of employment opportunities for workers and merchandising opportunities for toy and other vendors." Back in June, it was reported that former CEO Jerry Storch was looking a way to breathe new life into Toys "R" US During the executive's time in the company, the business earned $1 billion in earnings (before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). Sadly, Toys "R" Us was not able to maintain their financial performance after his departure in 2013. While the legal documents didn't divulge whether or not Storch has anything to do with this surprising development, he would be a great candidate to join the board in mapping out the retailer's comeback considering his history with the brand. Toys "R" Us was as one of the three largest customers for toy producing companies like Mattel and Hasbro alongside Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Target Corp. Its shut down resulted in an $11 billion loss in the toy industry. While there's slim to none chance that this new ploy will kick-in just in time for this year's holiday shopping season, the fact that there might still be a chance that the storied toy retailer may once again open its doors is already a welcome development for its loyal customers.

https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-episode-ix-cast-announced STAR WARS: EPISODE IX CAST ANNOUNCED Star Wars: Episode IX will begin filming at London’s Pinewood Studios on August 1, 2018. J.J. Abrams returns to direct the final installment of the Skywalker saga. Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio. Returning cast members include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd. Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant, who will be joined by veteran Star Wars actors Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian. The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” says Abrams. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.
