Interactive Map of Middle-Earth - LotrProject. Read Between The Lines: History of the DC Universe 3.0. As I have mentioned frequently on the podcast I co-host, We Talk Comics, I am very engaged with DC’s New 52 but think it would have been better served to have offered up a variation of the History of the DC Universe that followed the reboot of Crisis on Infinite Earths and the History back-ups in 52 that followed the lesser reboot of Infinite Crisis.

Read Between The Lines: History of the DC Universe 3.0

Since DC is not going to create one, I took it upon myself to lead the way. This timeline could not have been created with the amazing support of a team of Twitter folk: @FotoCub, @ScarlettMi, @craiggav, and @MayhemComics. 739 comics were published in The New 52 as of the end of September 2012.

There is a link now available to download the 125-page transcript (in the form of a .pdf document) of the original 1978 story conference between Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Lawrence Kasdan for a little film called Raiders of the Lost Ark. Some background first. Spielberg suggested that Kasdan write Raiders because he admired his Continental Divide script.

Lucas agreed. Now, imagine with me: Lucas had just released Star Wars, the biggest film in the history of Hollywood and a cult phenomenon. By the time Lucas and Spielberg setup these meetings with Kasdan, they knew for the most part what they wanted. Man-oh-man, Spielberg and Lucas were idea machines. In any case, there were about 10 Screenwriting Lessons I took away from this experience and thought they might be worth sharing.
