\WELCOME!

A lot of primarily "Lois & Clark" news coming out today, some of which is time-intensive so you may want to scroll down and check it out.

The Planet Krypton website has partially moved to a new home and a new domain at www.KryptonSite.com. So far the "Smallville" section is there and the "Lois & Clark" section will soon follow. Be sure to write in and tell me if you like it!

"WHINE WHINE WHINE"'S "CALVIN" AT MEGACON THIS WEEKEND
The Orlando Megacon comic book/sci-fi convention will be held this weekend at Orlando's Orange County convention center. Besides having a VERY special announcement involving a major upcoming comic book project (more on that below), the MegaCon will also have several celebrity guests... including an actor from "Babylon 5" by the name of Jason Carter. You may remember Mr. Carter as "Calvin Dregg," the musician whose "bleedin' hand" was injured by Superman in the episode "Whine Whine Whine." For more information and directions, consult www.megaconvention.com

DEAN CAIN: SUPER TIPPER
The Washington Post reported that earlier this week Dean "Clark Kent" Cain visited the Felix in the Adams-Morgan area of Washington DC and left 40 percent extra for the martinis, mussels and bruschetta he and soem friends had until closing time. When closing time came, Dean and friends pitched in and helped wipe down the bar.

H.G. WELLS MOVIE IN THE WORKS
Dreamworks and Warner Bros. are producing a new feature film based on the classic story "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. In this adaptation, a scientist ends up 800,000 years in a very different future. One interesting thing to note is that one of the film's producers will be Simon Wells, great-grandson of "Herb." Sadly, Tempus has nothing to do with this movie.

COMICS NEWS

SUPERMAN & CO. MEET EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES
It is heavily rumored that this afternoon at the Orlando MegaCon, comic book fans will receive the news they have been waiting nearly 18 years for. Marvel Comics and DC Comics will be teaming up to produce the long-awaited JUSTICE LEAGUE/AVENGERS comic book crossover. George Perez is on hand to draw the project, which will be written by current AVENGERS writer Kurt Busiek. None of this cookie-cutter DC VS. MARVEL stuff here, this is the big thing. Look for Superman, Batman, and their "super friends" Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and crew; up against Marvel's mighty roster of such heroes as Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. George Perez is a master at drawing as many characters at once as possible, so you know this will be something good. We'll post more information when we know more, but rumor has it that this will be a 4-to-6-issue mini-series, not just a one-shot special.

"EDGEMONT" MARATHON TODAY
Just another reminder that you can catch Kristin "the future Lana" Kreuk on the Fox Family Channel today (March 2), as they are running a 6-episode marathon of Kristin's CBC series "Edgemont" from 3 to 6PM (ET). Don't miss it!

"SMALLVILLE" TRIVIA!
The answer to #255's trivia: Tom Welling graduated from Okemos High School in Okemos, Michigan.

You can find more information about "Smallville" at http://www.kryptonsite.com.

TRIVIA
