I like this teaser poster for World War Z.
I liked World War Z novel by Max Brooks, and think I’ll like the movie as well.
And, yeah, I know it’s not going to be a true adaptation of the novel. As long as the movie is good, I’m okay with that.
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back! Mike returns with Sly as Jimmy Bobo from Bullet to the Head.
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd (and if you’ve never checked out Mike’s site, you ought to if only to see his Walking Dead cards!) and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
CBR.com runs a regular feature where they post “Easter Eggs” hidden in comics. These are drawings of actors, other comic companies characters and the like in the background of stories. I love stuff like this.
This week’s installment looks at Captain America #401 by Mark Gruenwald, Rik Levins and Danny Bulanadi. It is packed with appearances by famous folks such as Dick Tracy, Reid Flemming: The World’s Toughest Milk Man, James Bond, Elvis Presley, The Adams Family, and more.
This issue is a lot of fun for eagle-eyed readers!
This overseas poster for Bullet to the Head may be the best one yet.
Thanks and a nod of the dome, rather than a Bullet to the Head to IMPAwards.
This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, my buddy, John Beatty and I are going to be in Orlando hanging out with several thousand other like-minded folks. Yep, it’s time for MegaCon.
John is going as a guest of the show. That means while John is sketching for fans, I’ll either be hanging at his table keeping the fun at it’s maximum level or I’ll be visiting with other artists/friends looking to get a sketch or two for my Stallone Sketch theme collection.
If you’ve never been to MegaCon, you’re missing out. There’s something for everyone. There are celebrity guests, comic book creators, dozens of artists sketching for fans, panels, gaming, and more.
If you’re in driving distance of the show, come on down. If not, there’s always next year. Hope to see you there!
That’s a prelim that Drew Struzan created for potential use on a dvd release of John Carpenter’s Escape from New York.
You can see more of Drew Struzan’s art at his site.
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back! Mike has given us his take on Sly as Deke DaSilva from Nighthawks.
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd (and if you’ve never checked out Mike’s site, you ought to if only to see his Walking Dead cards!) and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
Drew Moss is putting out a 100 page sketchbook that he calls IDrew. It will be available as a hardcover or digitally.
During the pre-order phase, you can get the sketchbook with a headsketch for five extra bucks or a full body sketch for an extra 20. The pre-order ends on April 19th — so get your order in before that if you want to take advantage of the offer.
I’m really looking forward to Olympus Has Fallen. Sure, it’s probably going to be “Die Hard at the White House” but hey, I’m okay with that.
Speaking of things I’m okay with, the poster above is probably the best yet for Olympus Has Fallen… and it’s just okay.
100 Bullets by writer Brian Azzarello, artist Eduardo Risso, colorist Trish Mulvihill, letterer Clem Robbins and cover artist Dave Johnson ran for 100 issues and was one of the best crime comics ever. When it ended, most fans appreciated that the story was done, but hated the loss of their monthly crime fix.
Now, nearly three years later, the entire creative team is returning to bring us a limited series which not only takes place in the same universe as 100 Bullets, but features one of the series most popular characters, Lono.
It’s like Christmas came early.
If you want to learn more about Brother Lono, you can thanks to this interview at Newsarama.
Have you seen this poster for Zero Dark Thirty?
It was drawn by Jock for @MondoNews. Jock sent it out to his Twitter followers and pointed out that the soldiers coming down the ropes spell out Zero Dark Thirty.
Did you catch that just from looking at the poster? I didn’t, but love that Jock was creative enough to add that extra layer.
Well played, sir.
I really like this poster for Dead Man Down.
Of course I should since in this post I suggested it would be cool to have a smaller version of the “falling man” figure that appears in this poster for Dead Man Down “falling” along the right side of this poster.
And that’s what they did.
Adam Shippee sent in his latest Stallone drawing. Thanks to Adam for sharing his talents.
It had been a while, so it was good to hear from Adam! – Craig
I like this poster for Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. The video below is interesting as well. You can probably tell that I’m not ready to jump in line for a ticket though.
POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT
My guess, from watching the trailer, is that Cruise is being duped by the aliens/machines.
Earth did not win the war and the survivors rocketed out elsewhere. I think that there is a small band of survivors and the aliens/machines have brainwashed Cruise in an effort to use him to find the survivors.
Any thoughts?
