“Aftermath” – Somebody Didn’t Factor in Zombie Apocalypse…
Many of you who stop in regularly are zombie fans. Since The Walking Dead is on break I thought you might like a look at the poster and trailer for Aftermath.
Hope I wasn’t wrong.
Grzegorz Domaradzki Says, “Call me Snake”
Gray Matter Art just released this very cool and authorized poster by Grzegorz Domaradzki (Gabz).
Titled Call Me Snake it comes in a regular and limited edition format and is available now.
Joel Carroll and Jack Carter
I’ve known Joel Carroll for several years. Whenever I would talk to Joel about a Stallone sketch Joel would beg off because he felt he wasn’t good at capturing likenesses.
Recently Joel was sketching for charity and I hit him up again. It was for charity so how could Joel refuse? He didn’t and you can see the end result above. I really like it!
You can see more of Joel’s art on twitter.
Dusty Abell: Superman Through the Years!
Dusty Abell recently posted his take on Superman through the years. It’s cool looking at the tweaks, modifications and riffs by different artists but drawn by Dusty.
My five favorites:
5. Bruce Timm
4. Curt Swan
3. George Reeves
2. Christopher Reeve
1. Neal Adams
Cully Hamner’s HeroesCon 30th Anniversary Art
I’ve been a Cully Hamner fan for years. [In fact Cully was the first artist I approached to do a Stallone sketch when I started collecting them.] Check out the cool art Cully created for the HeroesCon 30th Anniversary.
Z-View: “Brick Mansions”
The Pitch: ”Hey, let’s do an Americanized remake of the cult classic action film District B13!”
“Let’s do it!”
The Tagline: “Their Streets. Their Rules.“
The Overview: *** Beware – spoilers are found below ***
The year is 2018. Because of out of control crime [think The Purge on a daily basis], a part of Detroit called Brick Mansions has been walled off from the rest of the city with military police guarding the few exits in or out [think Escape from New York with two Snake Plisskens].
Paul Walker [the first Snake Plissken] is an undercover cop whose dad was killed in Brick Mansions. David Belle is an ex-con [and the second Snake Plissken] who lives in Brick Mansions and works against the crime lord [played by Rza].
Walker and Belle find themselves as unlikely partners when a stolen neutron bomb is hijacked, armed and aimed at a US city.
The Good
- Brick Mansions begins with a great extended action-scene with Belle doing his parkour!
- The cast: Paul Walker [in his final completed role], David Belle [should be making more American movies], RZA, Ayisha Issa, Carlo [24] Rota, Andreas [Riddick] Apergis, and Robert [300, Sherlock Holmes] Maillet.
- Every scene with Belle doing parkour is fun.
- Ayisha Carlo and Robert Mailet were especially well cast.
The Bad:
- The aim of almost everyone with a weapon.
- Ayisha Carlo and Robert Mailet .
- Characterization and rationale thought are left with the coming attractions.
- Making RZA a “good guy” at the end. Rza played an interesting bad guy, but let’s not lose sight that he was a really bad guy, a drug king pin who killed people without a second thought. Yeah, he make a great mayor!
- Cartoon violence.
The Ugly:
- How Belle deals with crooked cops. How Walker deals with giants.
Rating: 3 out of 5

“As Above So Below” Poster & Trailer
I like the poster for As Above So Below. The trailer is creepy. I’m still thinking Netflix though.
Scott Quick Takes Us to Cop Land
Scott Quick does the web strip Camden Bottoms. I met Scott at MegaCon this year. I took a look at Scott’s sketchbook and decided to see if he’d be interested in doing a Stallone sketch. He was. I ended up getting two. This is the first. I posted the second last week [confusing, huh?].
If you’re so inclined you can check out Scott’s Camden Bottoms!

Here’s a look at the new trailer for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
New “Edge of Tomorrow” Poster
I like the latest poster for Edge of Tomorrow which opens on June 6th and stars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, and Jeremy Piven.
I’m still not sold on the movie, but this poster is a step in the right direction.
Scott Quick Draw Jack Carter
One of the things I love about going to comic book conventions is meeting new artists… or at least artists that are new to me. When I was at MegaCon this year, I met Scott Quick.
Scott does the web strip Camden Bottoms. I took a look at Scott’s sketchbook and decided to see if he’d be interested in doing a Stallone sketch. He was. I ended up getting two. This is the second. I’ll post the first next week. In the mean time check out Scott’s Camden Bottoms!
