Marlow from “30 Days of Night” by J. Beers!

Posted on by

I have been a fan of Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith’s 30 Days of Night comic since it first came out.  I loved the concept — a vampire clan goes to Barrow Alaska, a small town near the artic circle.  Each year Barrow goes through 30 days of night.  Cut off from the rest of the world, the town folk find themselves in a fight for survival.

When the 30 Days of Night movie was announced, I had high hopes it would be at least good.  And man, was it ever.  I like the film better with each new viewing.  Much of the reason for that is the performance of Danny Huston.  If you haven’t seen the film, give it a go.

Rambo by Andrew Krahnke!

Posted on by

When I saw that Andrew Krahnke was going to be a guest at HeroesCon 2026, I knew I wanted to try to get a sketch from him.  I’d never met Krahnke, but I knew his work through his graphic novel BLOODRIK.

I sent Krahnke an e-mail to see if he was taking pre-show commissions.  As you can see above, he was.  I thought Krahnke would be great for a Rambo piece, and was he ever.

This is my first piece from Andrew Krahnke.  I hope there will be more.

Constantine (2005)

Director:  Francis Lawrence

Screenplay: Kevin Brodbin, Frank Cappello; story by Kevin Brodbin; based on Hellblazer by Jamie Delano, Garth Ennis

Stars: Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale and Peter Stormare.

Tagline: Hell wants him. Heaven won’t take him. Earth needs him.

The Plot (beware of spoilers)…

LA Detective Angela Dodson turns to John Constantine, a occult expert and exorcist, to help her investigate her sister’s suicide.  Constantine discovers that demons have a plan to enter the human realm using the Spear of Destiny and Angela’s sister.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

John Constantine was created by writer Alan Moore, during his run on DC Comics’ Swamp Thing.  After negative experiences with movie adaptations of his work (From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Moore refused to have anything to do with Hollywood.  He went as far as to reject any money or credit for movie  adaptations of his characters or work.

Constantine just didn’t resonate with me.  Most folks like it better than I do.  As always, your mileage may vary.

Constantine (2005) rates 2 of 5 stars

“There is Only One BLADE. His Name is Wesley Snipes.” – Awesome Poster by Mark Levy!

Posted on by

Now THAT is one bad ass Blade poster created by Nick Levy.  While I wasn’t a fan of the original Blade, I absolutely love Blade II.  Blade Trinity was good, but fell short of Blade II greatness.  With that said, I must agree with Nick Levy when he says…

There’s only one Blade. And his name is Wesley Snipes.
