Sean Phillips is an amazing artist as you can see from his James Cagney piece above. The art appears with an article on Angels with Dirty Faces by Kim Morgan that will appear in Criminal #2 dropping on February 12th.
The great thing about the Criminal comic series by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips is that each issue is packed with a great comic story PLUS bonus features and art.

I imagine that many of our regular readers will get a kick out of Evan Hopkins’ The 20 Deadliest ’80s Action Movie Characters Ranked. Evans’ list is a good one.
Some actors had multiple characters who made the list. Chuck Norris had 4, Arnold Schwarzenegger had 3, Sly and Mel Gibson had two characters.
Sly Stallone’s Rambo came in first place and Cobra showed up at #11 and you know I won’t argue that. 🙂
Today we have a very rare Frank Frazetta painting of Frankenstein’s Monster and Dracula. I thought the layout looked as if it was to be used for two book covers. I was pleased to learn that it was used on two covers (front and back) but for one book.
Look at all the actors who’ve played Dracula Through the Ages. My all-time favorite is Bela Lugosi. I’d give runner-up honors to Frank Langella, Gary Oldman and Christopher Lee.

Here’s the trailer for The Informer and it looks pretty good.
Andrew Vanja, one of the producers behind the Rambo franchise has died at the age of 74. Vanja’s producing credits include many of my favorite films including: First Blood, Rambo, First Blood, Part II, Angel Heart, Extreme Prejudice, Rambo III, Total Recall, Tombstone, The 13th Warrior and many others.
Thanks for the hours of entertainment, Mr. Vanja.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Andrew Vanja’s family, friends and fans.
Quentin Tarantino talks about Rocky (he loves it and Stallone as an actor) and writes about Lords of Flatbush (he likes it as well). Check out the video below and then click over to Tarantino’s review of Lords at Beverly Cinema.

Stallone fans will want to check out the digital version of Industry Magazine’s coverage/profile of Sly.
At first glance I thought, “What a cool Hellboy poster.” A closer inspection and I thought Hellboy is appears really short. I think it’s because we can’t see his legs and his head looks too large for his body.
Am I wrong?
How about these two John Wick 3: Parabellum posters? Very clever.
The John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum Trailer is Here!
The Man Who Killed Hitler and then The Bigfoot is a strange looking film, but strange in a good way. Plus it has Sam Elliott!
No Country for Old Men is a modern classic. If you agree, then you’re going to want to check out No Country for Old Men: The Coen Brothers and Cormac McCarthy’s Ruthless Examination of Life.
