This week on The Flickcast, Chris and Joe are back once again and ready to talk all things geek. That, of course, means movies, TV, comics and even a little tech thrown in, just for fun.

This week’s episode includes discussions about the programming on Netflix, the Breaking Bad spin-off with Bob Odenkirk, AMC’s budget decisions, the deliberate pacing of The Walking Dead and the upcoming Doctor Who TV special.

Also discussed is the recent controversy surrounding a contest to draw the character Harly Quinn in a rather compromising situation, other DC editorial decisions and policies, Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton rumored to be joining Arnold Schwarzenegger in the next Terminator movie, the observational powers of stunt men, new iPhones and a whole lot more. It’s a big show and one you won’t want to miss.

This weeks picks include Joe’s pick of the movie The Chronicles of Riddick so you can see it before you watch the new one that’s just come out. Chris’ pick this week is the DIY Network TV series Make It Right, featuring Canada’s second most trusted person: contractor Mike Holmes.

As always, if you have comments, questions, critiques, offers of sponsorship or whatever, feel free to hit us up in the comments, on Twitter, at Facebook, Google+ or via email.

After a bit of speculation, it’s been confirmed that Lobo will be the first character available as a DLC for Injustice: Gods Among Us. To In fact, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released a gameplay video today featuring Lobo, just to make sure everyone knows he’s coming. Of course, we’ve got the trailer for you as soon as it came to us.

In case you’re not familiar with Injustice: Gods Among Us, it “introduces a new franchise in the fighting game genre and a brand new story created in collaboration between NetherRealm Studios, DC Entertainment and comic book writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti.”

“As the story unfolds, players will experience the power, gadgetry and unparalleled strength of some the most popular DC Comics heroes and villains, such as Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, The Joker and others, as they engage in epic battles in a world where the line between good and evil is blurred.”

In short, it’s pretty awesome. Soon to get a bit more awesome with the inclusion of one of our favorite characters.

Check out the gameplay fotage after the break. Lobo will be available for download beginning May 7th.

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!

• A fan-made alternate ending to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has surfaced. Michael Bay would love this one.

• Of course there is a real life Kick-Ass, and he prefers to be called “The Viper”.

• Kevin Bacon is allegedly in talks to be the main villain in X-Men: First Class. No word on who he’ll play, we just hope it’s not the same character he played in The Woodsman.

• Just in case you weren’t excited enough for The Expendables, here’s an 8-bit video game to keep you occupied.

With 2009 coming to a close, the challenge was to pick and rank the 10 best comics from the entire year. I’ve estimated reading approximately 1,500+ issues over that time frame, so obviously it wasn’t the easiest task to complete. Still, after much deliberation, these are my picks for the 10 best comics of 2009.

1. Jonah Hex #50
DC Comics
Writers: Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti
Artist: Darwyn Cooke
Originally reviewed on December 3, 2009

Perfection. Defined as the highest degree of proficiency, skill or excellence, perfection is near impossible to achieve, especially when every comic ever printed is subjective in nature. You know, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and all that jazz. Still, when I thought about all the comics I’ve read this past year, this issue of Jonah Hex kept coming back to me. While not perfect (frankly, what is?), it’s pretty close.

A wonderful done-in-one tale following our “hero” as he diligently goes about his day job, in this specific case while hunting down 50 various bad guys who had it coming to them. A fine story on it’s own. Now add a dash of romance – or the bounty hunter’s version of it – to the mix, sprinkle in a little personal vengeance, and top it off with a jolting reminder of how cruel life can be, and you’re left with a portrait of a man who makes no excuses for who he is or what he does, life expectations be damned.
