Victor Santos’ Polar Headed to the Big Screen!

Polar: Came from the Cold by Victor Santos began life as a free online web comic.  Dark Horse later published Polar: Came from the Cold as a 160 page hardback.

Constantin Film and Dark Horse Entertainment announced this week that they plan to bring Santos’ tale of a retired assassin who finds he and his child the target of assassins to the big screen.  I plan to keep tabs on this one!

Brubaker and Phillips: Criminal One Shot

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are taking Criminal back to Image Comics and they’re kicking off the move with a 48 page one shot…

It’s 1976, and Teeg Lawless is doing 30 days in county jail with a price on his head; his only safe company from the savagery: a beat-up old comic magazine his dead cellmate left behind. It’s CRIMINAL like you’ve never seen it before, with a comic within the comic and all those slick ‘70s thrills!

Mignola’s “Frankenstein Underground”

Mike Mignola [Hellboy] is going to write a five issue Frankenstein mini-series for Dark Horse comics.  Mignola says…

“This version of the Frankenstein monster has the same thirst for knowledge readers will remember from Mary Shelley’s novel… I’m trying to do something that’s true to the origin Mary Shelley created for the creature but also captures a bit of the feel that Boris Karloff brought to the role in the classic Universal films.”

Mignola’s mini-series will called Frankenstein Underground and will be part of his Hellboy universe.

Hoyt Silva Gets Carter

That amazing drawing of Sly as Jack Carter was created by artist extrodinaire, Hoyt Silva.  I met Hoyt at Heroes Con and set up the take home commission.

Hoyt, in addition to being an amazing artist, has great communication and packages the art securely.  I highly recommend Hoyt to all sketch collectors!   – Craig
