“Day One” Over “District 9”
Have you seen this trailer for the new NBC series, “Day One”, which premieres this fall? It makes me want to check out the show.

“Carriers”
I’m a sucker for movies about a small band of folks working to survive against insurmountable odds. This trailer and especially this trailer for “Carriers” makes it look like it will fit the bill.
The Nocturnals Together Again
CBR.com caught up with Dan Brereton and he gives us the lowdown on the Nocturnals collected editions. I dig the Nocturnals, but would really love to see Dan’s work on The Black Terror reprinted in a nice hardcover.
Daybreakers Follow Undead
AICN scored the first look at “Daybreakers” – the Spierig brothers’ follow-up to “Undead”. Quint describes the film by saying it’s a:
futuristic vampire tale starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. It’s about a plague that turns the vast majority of the Earth’s population into vampires. The remaining humans have to be rounded up and farmed as the supply of fresh blood grows smaller and smaller and the demand grows larger and larger. The vampires must figure out a way to replicate the blood or save the human race or they, too, will die out.
Sounds pretty cool. Check out the AICN post here and see the poster in it’s ginormous glory.
Let’s All Go to Zombieland!
Zombieland looks like fun. My kind of fun, anyway.
Dead Zombie Ratings
According to this site, the ZONE should be rated PG-13 due to using the word “dead” 9 times, “zombie” 4 times and “death” once. Well, I do write, on a fairly regular basis, about how great the comic “The Walking Dead” is… and it is about zombies.
I guess if I’d been talking up “Hellboy” I might have gotten an “R” rating?? Oops.
Proof of Viking Zombies
We were just talking about The Walking Dead yesterday and today Newsarama.com posted a preview of the latest issue. And to sweeten the deal, Newsarama also posted previews of the latest issues of Viking [you are reading Viking, aren’t you??] and Proof. Click on over.
Who Will Join the Walking Dead?
The Walking Dead has been one of my favorite comics since it first appeared. Now, 62 issues later, The Walking Dead is still the first one I read each month when I pick up my comics. Although not many members of the original cast have survived the zombie apocalypse, Kirkman hints that more are about to meet the grim reaper in this interview [with potential spoilers] at CBR.com.
Quiz of the Living Dead
8 out of 10 isn’t bad. There are a couple of tricky ones in there. Can you do better? We will never know since the quiz is no longer available. : (
Florida Supercon
I’m thinking I may plan a little road trip down to the this convention. Anyone else going?
Going to “District 9”
This trailer for District 9 is just creepy enough to make me think this could be a very cool monster movie.
“Curse of the Werewolf” Werewolf
Here’s another gem from the ZONE vault. I dug it then… and I digs it now. This is a spot illustration created by Doug Hazlewood back in 1977. It’s of course a drawing of Oliver Reed from “Curse of the Werewolf.” What, you didn’t recognize ole Oliver under all that make-up?
Growing up I always thought that the wolfman was one of the coolest of all monsters and that the “Curse of the Werewolf” werewolf was the version of the wolfman that I liked best… and I still do!
Dig That Crazy Poster
I really like this poster for the re-make of George Romero’s “The Crazies.” I discovered it while reading a set report from the good folks at ShockTill You Drop.
Walking Dead Preview
CBR.com has a preview of the best regularly published comic going today. That’s right, by clicking here, you can get an advance look at Walking Dead 60 by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn.
Darwyn Cooke’s Big Update
Yesterday Darwyn Cooke wrote a guest article for Jimmy Palmiotti’s blog and gave us quite an update! Here are a few highlights:
- Darwyn is providing covers for The Last Resort which he describes as a “Horror/Comedy… kind of a cross between an Irwin Allen picture and some of the great serials that you’d get back in the day from Heavy Metal.” It’s written by Jimmy Palmiotti and will be published by IDW this summer.
- Darwyn is designing and contributing color for the dustjackets on The Complete Torpedo Collection, the five volume set which for the first time ever collects the entire Sanchez Abuli and Jordi Bernet classic series.
- Our buddy, John Highashi got a shout out for his bowling prowess!
- Darwyn’s work on Richard Stark’s The Hunter is nearly complete and the book is scheduled for a July release!
- Darwyn’s friend Calum Johnston hosts “Almost Darwyn Cooke’s Blog” which provides updates on what the main man is working on. Until yesterday I didn’t know this blog existed and now it’s on my must read list.
