Mike Torrance: A Tale of Two Carters

Posted on by

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he brought Jack Carter with him – both of them. Mike surprised me with this clever take on “Get Carter” at Heroes Con. Mike outdid himself with this one!

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.


Red Dawn Rises Again

Posted on by

Although I haven’t watched it in years, I was a fan of the original Red Dawn.  Released in 1984, Red Dawn starred Patrick Swayxze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, and Jennifer Grey before they had reached the height of their fame,

Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O’Neal, William Smith, Powers Boothe and Frank McRae also had roles and gave the movie the gravitas it would have otherwise lacked.

If the new Red Dawn looks half-way interesting, I think I’ll check it out.  If not, then it’s time to fire up the original.

Moore Takes Kirkman to Federal Court

Posted on by

On February 9, 2012, we posted that Tony Moore, the original artist of the hit comic book series The Walking Dead had sued long-time [former?] friend, Robert Kirkman. Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, claiming that he [Moore} was in truth the co-creator of the series.

A few days later Kirkman’s response was in the news.

At the time I had hope that Moore and Kirkman would be able to come to a mutually satisfactory solution soon.  Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be.  CBR.com has posted the complaint that Moore has now filed in federal court to be named co-author of The Walking Dead; Brit and Battle Pope.

I hate the reality of this situation.

Brad Pitt is Killing Them Softly

The new trailer for the crime thriller Killing Them Softly is perfect.  I can not wait to see this movie.

Killing Them Softly is based on a George V. Higgins crime novel and set in New Orleans, and follows professional criminal, Jackie Cogan as he investigates the robbery of a high stakes, mob-protected, poker game. It stars  Brad Pitt, Ray Luotta, James Gandolfini and Sam Sheppard and opens October 7th.

I’ll save you a seat.

Where is Jake Ellis?

Posted on by

I really enjoyed Who is Jake Ellis? by Nathan Edmondson (writer), Tonci Zonjic (artist).   So you’d probably think that I’m happy that Edmondson and Zonjic are coming back with a sequel (Where is Jake Ellis?), right?  Well, if you thought that, you’d be right.   I am really looking forward to it.

Read this interview with Nathan Edmondson and you’ll get a feel of what we can expect when Jake Ellis returns.
