Actor Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson as he appeared in SG1

Although Stargate Universe will be returning to American television soon, it is still no substitute for the original Stargate Team of SG-1, which ended its television run a couple of years back and had two movies released on DVD during the summer of and fall of 2008.

Since then however, there has been promise of more movies for DVD but not much in the way of production. During our interview with Amanda Tapping last year she told SFP Radio that she hadn’t heard to much in the way of movement on the movies, and according to Michael Shanks the SG – 1 movies are still in limbo.

This Week In Spandex

This week was a light week for me and I had a hard time deciding what book to review.  The Invincible Iron Man # 23 had a great scene involving Pepper Potts and Maria Hill both revealing to each that they had both slept with Tony Stark.  I finally got Green Lantern #50 and it was awesome.  And Siege #2 was great, but it seems like everyone is covering it.  With all that said, I went with Cable this week.

• Cable #23
• “Homecoming” Part 3 – Chapter Six: Girls with Guns & Chapter Seven: Baby, You’re Out of Time
• Writer:  Duane Swierczynski
• Artist: Gabriel Guzman

Cable is coming to an end.  Next issue will most likely feature Hope and Cable returning to the present Marvel Universe.  Oddly though, there will be a 25th issue after that one, but it will be titled Deadpool and Cable for some odd reason.

This story arc follows the same structure as the others.  Cable and Hope are jumping through time, and Bishop is still attempting to kill Hope.  Nothing really new.
