From Geek Orthodox: Name that vehicle!
-----
Joss Whedon plans to add actress Summer Glau to the cast of the surprisingly renewed "Dollhouse" next season.
"If anybody thinks [bringing Summer onto Dollhouse] hasn't occurred to me already then they have not met me," he says. "I mentioned it to her before Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled. I was like, 'You know, we should get you in the 'house.' But first we have to come up with something that works."

Marvel Comics is planning a mini-series featuring the Golden Age Human Torch.
Alex Ross and Mike Carey will team up for a miniseries starring the original Human Torch, the android who debuted back in Marvel Comics #1. ...According to Butler, Ross will provide the concept and the covers for the series, which is part of Marvel’s 70th-anniversary celebration. No release date was given.

New comics May 28, 2009
Comics are out a day late this week due to the Memorial Day holiday. Here are some items of note in shops Thursday. Click the title links to pre-order discounted books from Amazon.
TARZAN THE JESSE MARSH YEARS VOL. 2 A second volume of Marsh's great Tarzan stuff. Before my time, but as I understand it, his work gets better and better as the series goes along.
BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #5 Fun Bat-tales for kids and nostalgic oldsters alike.
DC LIBRARY ROOTS OF THE SWAMP THING The Wein-Wrightson stuff gets reprinted again.
SPIRIT #28 I drifted away from this series for a bit after Darwyn Cooke left. I may need to take a peek at it. I'm a bit surprised it's still around, however, given how badly the movie did.
ESSENTIAL X-MEN VOL. 9 Collecting Uncanny X-Men #244-264 and Annual #13. This is where I started to tune out...
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #595 Still haven't read last weeks!
MARVEL MASTERWORKS AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VOL. 2 The second 10 issues of Spidey by Lee and Ditko. In color.
