One of my all-time favorite graphic novels is Alien: The Illustrated Story by Archie Goodwin [writer] and Walt Simonson [artist]. Released at the same time as the Ridley Scott movie, Alien: The Illustrated Story not only adapts the movie, but also includes scenes which never made it into the film.
If you like Alien or comics, my guess is you’ll love Alien: The Illustrated Story.
Ok, so you want to zombie-proof your house, but you don’t know where to start. The diagram above may provide some assistance.
What do you get when you combine the scariest show on tv with a Halloween tradition? Why, some really rad Walking Dead pumpkins, of course.
Thanks and an extra zombie kill to Reddit for the original post.
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.
On Sunday, November 18, 2012, my buddy Steve is putting on a Comic and Toy Show [his 11th]. It’ll run from 10am to 5pm at the Holiday Inn on A1A in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The theme of the con is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of AC Comics. Bill Black the founder of AC Comics will be there. So will a ton of other folks who have worked for AC Comics over the years. Myself included. Hopefully John Beatty will make it. He should since he got his start in professional comics with Bill Black!
I have no doubt that this is going to be a fun show. How could it not be with the AC gang coming in for a reunion? If you’re able to make it, you should plan on being there too.
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.
You can see more of Jenn’s art here. – Craig
FIlm.com posted their choices for the Top 50 Horror Movies of All Time. Like with most any “best of” list there are things to quibble about…
Even with the quibbles, it’s not a bad list.
A Good Day to Die Hard. I dig the new poster and new trailer. Unless the movie jumps the rails in a way I can’t imagine, I’m gonna dig A Good Day to Die Hard as well.
LA Noir is an original series from TNT that has a lot of potential. Frank [The Walking Dead; Shawshank Redemption; The Mist] Darabont not only serves as Executive Producer, but also wrote and directed the pilot.
Jon (The Walking Dead) Bernthal headlines as ex-marine/LA cop, Joe Teague in an era of mobsters and corrupt cops. LA Noir is based on John Buntin’s book of the same name. Coming Soon has more info about the series.
That’s the first shot of Arnold Schwarzenegger in character for the crime-action-drama, Ten, that’s now in production. According to ComingSoon:
Arnold looks to be in fine form and he’s still got that Terminator-stare, but if you ask me, that Lollipop-Guild haircut has got to go.
Sometimes a movie looks/sounds good from the moment you first hear about it. Then as posters and teaser trailers start appearing, it just keeps looking better and better.
Killing Them Softly is one of those films. This international Killing Them Softly trailer is the best yet.
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.
