Thanks and an extra zombie kill to Reddit for the original post.

Wolverine Teaser is a Work of Art
Here’s a teaser poster for Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman. I like the it! Very minimalistic. It has the feel of a Japanese print which ties right in with the fact that Wolverine will be set in Japan [since the movie is an adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic Wolverine mini-series.]
Plus the poster uses real art. As in a drawing, not a giant Photoshopped photograph. Sure, I realize that Photoshop is a tool and it takes a real artist to make it sing, but still… how often do we see art ala Drew Struzan, or Bob Peak, or Frank Frazetta on a modern movie poster? Not often enough.
Jenn Lee is Expendable
Today we have Jenn Lee’s third (but hopefully not last) appearance in the Stallone Sketch Gallery. I saw Jenn’s art and that she was taking on headsketch commissions. Jenn thought sketching Sly characters would be fun. Here’s her take on Sly in his role as Barney Ross from The Expendables.

Things are About to Heat Up for Hellboy
It’s been seven years since Mike Mignola wrote and drew an issue of Hellboy. That’s about to change when Hellboy in Hell debuts in December.
If that’s not enough to get you to pre-order your copy, then check out this article from CBR,com about we (and Hellboy) can expect.
Bring Back Mike Zeck!
Recently CBR.com posted Six by 6: Six Creators Who Could Make a Big Impact with a Comeback. Number one on the list, was my buddy, Mike Zeck.
I think Mike would have a big impact if he came back to draw any graphic novel or mini-series. (Might I suggest a cold war, Nick Fury tale?) However, if you want something that would have a guaranteed HUGE impact, then get Mike back to do a prestige graphic novel featuring Captain America or The Punisher. Invite John Beatty to ink Mike’s pencils and Marvel could catch lightning in a bottle.
Perhaps if a top name writer created a story that’s a homage to the “Wild Bunch,” Mike would get the itch to come back. I doubt it, but it doesn’t hurt to dream.
By the way, eagle-eyed readers can spot Mike’s in-joke about Sylvester Stallone being my favorite actor.
Jenn Lee Gets Carter
Today we have Jenn Lee’s second (but not last) appearance in the Stallone Sketch Gallery. I saw Jenn’s art and that she was taking on headsketch commissions. Jenn thought sketching Sly characters would be fun. Here’s her take on Sly in his role as Jack Carter from Get Carter.

Gerardo Moreno’s Dracula
Gerardo Moreno is back with but this time it’s not with his Stallone art. This time Gerardo wants to share a piece he did to celebrate 100 years of Universal monsters.

Chaykin’s Midnight of the Soul
All I know about Howard Chaykin’s Midnight of the Soul is what you see in this poster. It’s enough for me to be on board.
Arnold Schwarzenneger Takes a Last Stand
Here’s the latest poster for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Last Stand. Although it’s not the greatest poster in the world, I don’t dislike it and I’m always happy to see movie posters with art instead of photoshopped heads.
You can see a much bigger version of The Last Stand poster over at IMPAwards.com.
Jenn Lee Goes to Cop Land
Today we have Jenn Lee’s first appearance in the Stallone Sketch Gallery. I saw Jenn’s art and that she was taking on headsketch commissions. Jenn thought sketching Sly characters would be fun. Here’s her take on Sly in his role as Freddy Hefflin from Cop Land.

“The Goon” Movie… Let’s Kickstart This Sucker!
Ten years ago I wrote a post talking about an awesome new comic series called The Goon. For more than a decade, Eric Powell [who created, writes and draws] The Goon has continued to produce a comic loved by fans of all ages.
So it was no surprise when, four years ago, The Goon was optioned to become a feature film.
About a year later we got to see a couple of production images showing how The Goon movie would look.
Two years ago we were treated to a movie poster for The Goon which was listed as “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You.”
A year ago we got to glimpse test footage from The Goon. Each step of the way, the hope for an actual full length feature length Goon film seemed closer to becoming a reality. Unfortunately, even with David [Se7en] Fincher on board, the financing wasn’t there.
Now thanks to Kickstarter, all that can change. I’m in. Will you join me? The Goon movie… Let’s Kickstart this sucker!
The Wake is Coming in 2013
It was just announced that writer, Scott [Batman] Snyder is teaming up with artist, Sean [Punk Rock Jesus] Murphy for The Wake which Snyder describes as a…
“…big, twisted, sprawling science fiction and horror epic, all of which begins with a single, terrifying discovery at the bottom of the ocean.
Count me in.
Thanks and a flip of our swim fins to iFanboy for the original post.
Charles Bronson in Spectacular Spider-Man
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.
Here’s a cameo by Charles Bronson from Spectacular Spider-Man #108. You can see many more here.
Jim Lee Takes on Django
That’s Jim Lee’s art for the variant cover to Django Unchained #1 which is set to drop on December 5th. You can see a slightly larger version as well as Massimo Carnavale’s variant cover to issue #3 over at CBR.com.
Dave Wachter is Expendable, Too
Dave Wachter returns with his take on Sly from Expendables 2. I met Dave a few years ago and became an instant fan. I wasn’t the only one to discover Dave’s fantastic sketches! How can you not like a great guy who is a terrific artist? You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
