2007: Everything Old Is New Again?

While writing that previous entry about the Buffy comic, it occurred to me what a nostalgic year 2007 is shaping up to be. Besides Buffy fans getting an 8th season they never expected, you've got at least the following:

First, when Spider-Man 3 comes out in May, the Venom craze from the early 90s may just start all over again as a whole new generation gets introduced to Spidey's meaner version.

Next, in July, it's going to feel like the late 90s once more as Babylon 5 returns via a direct-to-DVD Lost Tales movie that's the first in a series.

Then you've got the first of DC Comics' direct-to-DVD animated movies due in September, which takes us back to 1993 via The Death of Superman.

And still-unscheduled but hopefully to come out this year, is the flashback-to-the-70s known as the mind-blowing prospect of seeing Neal Adams drawing Batman again.

I'm sure I've missed some other obvious ones... anyone?
