Blake Bell takes a look at the upcoming "Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus," which collects the entire Stan Lee-Steve Ditko run of the title. You can pre-order the book for $62.99 (reb. $99.99) now from Amazon: Original cover or Alex Ross/variant cover.

Comic Ricky Gervais plans to wrap up his "Extras" series with one, final episode.

--------------------

Russell T. Davies says he'll be producing and writing "Doctor Who" for at least a little while longer.

He dreams up Doctor Who scenes while he's doing his shopping or wandering around Cardiff. 'If I'm stuck I'm more likely to go out to Tesco than go for a long walk,' he says, adding that he 'writes very quickly'. The stories 'are more or less fully formulated by then'.

There may be a few more series of Doctor Who to come, but Davies is obviously pondering his next project. He is a big fan of soaps, and confesses: 'I've always loved Coronation Street. I still think its wonderful. [Its creator] Tony Warren created a whole world. The tone of voice has not changed.'
