Hercules: The Rock & Steranko
The picture above is the latest in a series of set photos that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has shared from location filming of Hercules: The Thracian Wars. If you’d like to see the other photos, Coming Soon has them.
Set for a July 14, 2014 release, Hercules: The Thracian Wars is directed by Brett Ratner and based on Radical Comics series of the same name.
If Johnson’s photo as Hercules seems familiar, you probably remember seeing this version of Steranko’s cover prelim for Radical Comics or this Steranko prelim or perhaps Steranko’s finished cover.

George Romero Brings “Empire of the Dead” to Marvel Comics
Zombie fans are gonna love this.
Starting in January 2014, Marvel Comics is going to publish Empire of the Dead, a 15 issue series written by George “Night of the Living Dead” Romero with art by Alex “Batman” Maleev.
Romero likes that comics have no budget restrictions on special effects…
“It’s a comic book, which means we don’t have to go out and shoot the stuff,” says the Night of the Living Dead filmmaker, who wrote a 300-page Empire screenplay that is being put to page by Marvel and artist Alex Maleev. “You can let your imagination run wild and do pretty much anything you want, assuming it’s within the bounds of decency.”
Thanks and an extra “They’re coming to get you, Barbara!” to USAToday and CBR.com.

A Decade of Steve Niles…
It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a decade since I first recommended Guns, Drugs and Monsters.
Guns, Drugs and Monsters was my first introduction to Steve Niles and his Cal McDonald character. I loved the concept and immediately ordered Savage Membrane [the book that started the series]. I wasn’t disappointed.
Thanks Steve Niles. I cannot wait to see what the next decade brings.

Zablo in Gravedigger’s Universe Thanks to Chris Mills and Rick Burchett!
If you’re a fan of great crime comics, you should be reading Gravedigger by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett. I’ve been singing the praises of Gravedigger since before it was released. I knew from the premise and with Chris and Rick at the helm that Gravedigger would be a winner.
And it is.
Keep in mind, that my love for Gravedigger happened long before I became a part of his universe!
Good Cop, Bad Cop: An Oral History of The Shield
The Shield was an amazing series and remains a favorite over a decade after it premiered on FX (back when hardly anyone tuned in to FX).
If you’re a fan of The Shield, then you’ll want to check out Good Cop, Bad Cop: An Oral History of The Shield by Jason Matloff. Before you click over, please know the article/interview, like The Shield, contains adult language and discussion and is NOT for kids.
Thanks to David Chen for the Tweet.
Want to See a Vintage Rod Serling Interview?
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, then odds are you know of Rod Serling. You’re probably a fan as well.
What many don’t know is that Rod Serling was a famous writer before the Twilight Zone ever aired. Of course it was the Twilight Zone that made him a celebrity.
But I digress…
Would you like to see a full interview with Rod Serling that originally aired on September 15, 1959? That’s two weeks before the Twilight Zone premiered and made Serling a household name.
Thanks to @NightGallery for the link!
