Gerardo Moreno is back with his new Wolfman piece. You can see more of his art here at Gerardo’s site. His Wolfman print is also available through Fine Art America.
(This has been a public service announcement — I don’t make a commission on any prints sold. – Craig)
Hey, it’s been a week, perhaps we should check in on Riddick.
Good thing we did or we might have missed the new poster above!
Today we have Sly as Deke DaSilva by Shawn Surface. Shawn is an all-around nice guy and his art should get more attention. So why not check out his site and give him some love?
Sequential Highway recently posted a really good interview with Charles Adlard. In it Adlard talks about taking over the art chores on The Walking Dead from Tony Moore, the fan backlash it caused, the longevity/popularity of The Walking Dead and a whole lot more.
Kudos to Julinda Morrow for posing interesting questions!
Under the Radar posted a nice little interview with The Guns of Shadow Vallery co-creators, [artist] Dave Wachter and [writer] James Andrew Clark.
If you’re already aware of The Guns of Shadow Valley, you’ve probably backed their Kickstarter project. If you aren’t or haven’t, please consider learning more or doing so.
I did and am looking forward to to getting the book in my mitts.
Gravedigger by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett is the best web comic going. Heck, drop the web comic distinction because Gravedigger is one of the best comics of any kind regularly published these days.
If you’re a fan of crime stories, Lee Marvin, or great comics [as in amazing writing and art] then you should be reading this free web comic. [Keep in mind that Gravedigger is not for children since adult language and situations sometimes appear — it is a crime comic after all.]
I’d like to see Gravedigger and the talents of Chris Mills and Rick Burchett reach a wider audience. So, I’ve come up with the Gravedigger Challenge.
Give Gravedigger a try and if you don’t like it, I owe ya a Coke [or Diet Coke, if you prefer]. If you do like Gravedigger, you owe me nothing.
I would appreciate it though, especially if you like Gravedigger, if you would help spread the word. Send out a Tweet, a Facebook / blog post or, simply tell a friend!
Did you know that Rocky Balboa was once a member of G.I. Joe? In 1986 it was announced that he was.
But then a month later came…
So the question remains… was Rocky a member of team G.I. Joe or was it a mistake made by an overzealous member of the G.I. Joe publicity team?
Or perhaps… just maybe, Rocky was a secret member of the Joe’s and the first file was somehow leaked so a denial was needed. ; ) – Craig

That’s Scott Godlewski’s take on Sly as Rambo. I got this sketch when I ordered a couple of Scott’s sketchbooks. He also did me a killer Jack Carter that I post in the coming weeks.
Until then, you can see more of Scott’s art here. – Craig
Here’s the poster to Homefront starring Jason Statham with a screenplay by Sylvester Stallone [who also doubles as a producer on the film].
I like the look of this and can’t wait to see a trailer.
It’s been almost three years since we’ve seen news about the uber-talented Jason Pearson here at CZ.com.
Today I’m really happy to write that Jason is hard at work on a new Body Bags mini-series that he calls Body Bags: Vicious. Jason says that he’s going to write, draw and color the series.
Where can I put in my order, now?

Here’s the IMAX poster for Riddick.
You know, the only IMAX movies I’ve ever seen have been at places like the Kennedy Space Center. Perhaps I should drive over to Orlando and check out Riddick on an IMAX screen when it premieres.
It looks like Bryce Carlson [writer], Vanesa R. Del Rey [artist] and Boom! Studios has a real hit on their hands when they release Hit this September.
Set in Los Angeles in the 1955, Hit tells the story of…
…Harvey Slater, who’s a Hollywood homicide detective by day and an LAPD hitman by night. His life is… complicated. Slater’s a smart detective who isn’t afraid to pull the trigger, so you never quite know exactly how he’s going to handle a given situation. His journey is a personification of how Los Angeles was changing at the time, and how challenging the ever-growing duality really was. Usually there’s booze and cigarettes involved and Slater getting into bed with a woman he shouldn’t.
This will definitely make my pull list! If you’d like to know more about Hit, check out CBR’s Carlson Puts Out a Cold-Blooded “Hit” at Boom!
Zero by Ales Kot [writer] and Michael Walsh [artist] looks interesting. Here’s how the advance solicitation describes it…
SAVING THE WORLD. ONE MURDER AT A TIME.
Edward Zero is the perfect execution machine – a spy who breaks the rules to get things done. When a stolen device appears in the center of a long-running conflict, Zero comes to retrieve it. The problem is, the device is inside a living, breathing, bio-modified terrorist and there’s an entire army after it.
iFanboy has more about Zero and Michael Walsh. I’ve seen enough to put in a pre-order with my local comic shop. How about you?
That’s the special Eduardo Rizzo cover for Brother Lono #1 created by Brian Azzarello [writer], Eduardo Risso [artist], Trish Mulvihill [colorist], Clem Robbins [letterer] and Rev. Dave Johnson [cover artist].
Yep, that’s the same award-winning creative team that brought us 100 issues of 100 Bullets. Seems only right that they’d all return to bring us the spin-off series Brother Lono.
If you’d like to see an exclusive preview of Brother Lono, you can thanks to USAToday!
I like this new poster for Riddick.
The only thing that would make this poster better is if it were bigger. Well, how about THAT?
