I recently took this Real Zombie Survival Survey over at Facebook. I have to admit that I was surprised that my survival odds were 95% because I answered as truthfully as possible.
Okay, if a zombie infestation breaks out, we all meet up at my house. That is, unless someone scores higher. Then we rendezvous at his/her joint.
CBR.com has posted that Dynamite Entertainment is going to publish “Green Hornet: Year One” and Matt Wagner is on board to write it and provide covers. Here’s what publisher, Nick Barrucci had to say about Wagner’s involvement:
“He loves the Green Hornet, loves the original Britt Reid, and once we got into the conversation, he was really hyped about doing the origin story. It’s just a perfect marriage. You’ve got one of the most respected creators in comics writing one of the most classic characters in comics. It’s fantastic, and it’s a ‘Year One’ story like you’ve never seen before. Matt has been really incredible at nailing the essence of the character while still making it accessible to a modern audience. He’s fantastic.”

Frank Miller Week: Day 6. That’s Miller’s cover to Peter Parker #60. It was cover dated November 1981. At the time, Miller was still going strong with his amazing run as writer and penciller on Daredevil [Klaus Janson was inking each issue and more than equal to the task].
I saw Peter Parker #60 and despite knowing little about the interior art or story, felt that the cover was worth the price of admission. I loved everything about it… the pose, the bold inks, the colors, the lighting, the backgrounds. Although generic enough to be the cover for ANY Spider-Man book, I felt that Miller had knocked this one out of the park.
Tomorrow we’ll wrap up Frank Miller Week with a look at a piece that is a fanboy’s dream.
