Not only do many of the freshest ideas come from them, but the best rags to riches articles come from them. Well, I suppos... http://www.media-geeks.com/articles/1250/Plain_Sight_Beta_Launch/ 2008-12-12T00:35:45-08:00 Amidst all the super-hero hype these days, a trip back to the classics is almost welcome, even if it means another sequel, or rather, prequel.

The trailer was recently 'leaked' onto the net and honestly had me laughing. It has a very "Incredibles" visual style going for it and the basic plot is goof... http://www.media-geeks.com/articles/1247/Monsters_Vs._Aliens_and_the_Missing_Writer/ 2008-11-06T19:36:40-08:00 October 31st tends to get me all tingly inside.
