Cemetery Beach sounds like something that readers of this site would enjoy. Created by writer Warren Ellis with art by co-creator Jason Howard, Cemetery Beach will be an action fan’s fix.
“Jason wanted to do an action book, so I wrote something that starts with a conversation in an interrogation room, ignites four pages later, and doesn’t stop until the end of the final issue—which he’s drawing right now, so when issue #1 comes out, the whole series will be in the can,” said Ellis. “It might be the most relentless action book I’ve ever written.”

Stephan Franck is the genius (writer & artist) behind Silver which he describes as…
… an original universe built around Bram Stoker’s original Dracula, and it begins 40 years after the events of the novel, into the noir/pulp era of the 1930s. You meet James Finnigan, who is the most notorious conman/gentleman-thief of his day, as he teams up with Rosalynd “Sledge” Van Helsing (granddaughter of the original Van Helsing, and altogether the last of the Van Helsings), to steal a mystical treasure hidden in Dracula’s castle. Finn, of course, brings his known associates—a fun assortment of conmen and grifters of all kinds—as well as the kind of amoral attitude that puts him immediately at odds with Sledge. Lastly, the team enlists Tao Leu (or more accurately, he enlists himself), who is a 10-year-old boy with the gift of second sight and who might be the biggest scoundrel of them all.
With the fourth and final volume now on Kickstarter, Franck sat for an interview with Johhny Hughes at Comic Crusaders.
Last week I shared Andy Bennett’s riff on a Jack Carter and Lono from 100 Bullets. I liked Andy’s work on it so much, I’ve ordered a Jack Carter & John Wick piece for pick-up at HeroesCon this year. Although Heroes is still a couple weeks away, Andy shared with me the piece that will be waiting for pick-up. Yowzers! (And don’t you just love the nod to Tango & Cash?)

There are several new character posters for Hotel Artemis that you can see here. And check out the new Hotel Artemis trailer below!
Last year at HeroesCon, Andy Bennett created his take on a Jack Carter and Lono from 100 Bullets team-up. Sure wish there was a real series coming with these two. I liked Andy’s work on this so much, I’ve ordered a Jack Carter & John Wick piece for pick-up at HeroesCon this year.

This is the first Cobra piece I ever received from Thomas Boatwright . He did it for me several years ago, but somehow I missed scanning and getting it posted.
Over the years I’ve gotten several Stallone pieces from Thomas. Click on the link to see what has been posted so far… there are more to come.
If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.
If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig
I liked the first Equalizer film and think it was under-rated. I’m glad we’re going to see a sequel. You can see a much larger version of the poster here.
Giovanni Valletta’s John Wick homage to the cover of The Walking Dead #1 is genius. I love how the zombie reflections in the windows have been replaced by police officers.
