Messages from Me
Although if everything goes as planned, I’ll be spending the weekend at MegaCon, that doesn’t mean that updates at the ZONE will stop. Thanks to the miracles of modern technology not only will the ZONE continue to receive updates, but I will also be tweeting live from the convention floor.
Granted, it’s not like getting transmissions from the moon, but it is still pretty cool.
Not Tron, But Tron Legacy
I never saw Tron. I have no desire to see Tron. I gotta admit though, that Tron Legacy looks kind of interesting. Oh, and if you want to see a billboard-sized version of the poster above, you can, thanks to Film Fillia.
“The Expendables” Denmark
StalloneZoner, ABKing, found the above Denmark poster for The Expendables and was kind enough to post it for all to see.
Predators Doing “The Predator”
Predators are perhaps the most fierce warriors in the galaxy. So what do Predators do when they have some downtime? They dance. [Watch for the guest appearance of Danny Glover doing the Predator.]

“The Expendables” Comic Prequel
If you can’t wait for The Expendables to premiere in theaters later this year, then perhaps an Expendables comic prequel will help hold you over. CBR.com has an interview with Chuck Dixon, the writer of the project. Here’s a bit of what Dixon had to say:
“This is a movie that Sylvester Stallone has been trying to get together for years; an action movie packed with as many well-known action stars as possible…
“Sly’s not re-inventing the wheel here. He’s just built a really bad-ass, killer wheel of awesomeness…
“My job is to tell a story that takes place before the events of the movie without revealing anything that’s to come in the movie’s story…

Dave Wachter’s Rocky
It couldn’t be more appropriate [since there were several pieces about Rocky and the Oscars in this week’s update] that we have Rocky by Dave Wachter for this week’s Stallone art. Dave’s work has appeared on the SZ before with his riff on Sly from Paradise Alley.
After the recent earthquake in Haiti, Dave offered everyone who made a donation to Doctors Without Borders to aide earthquake victims in Haiti a free sketch. The piece about is what I got for my donation. You can see what others selected, and more of Dave’s art by heading over to his website.
Thanks to Dave for my great sketch as well as his efforts to help the people in Haiti.
Lost Has Lost It’s Way
I’ve been a Lost fan since the first season premiere. I’ve never missed an episode and was really looking forward to the final season. I have to admit that I’ve been disappointed so far. I still record new episodes, but there’s no longer the rush to watch ’em.
What’s been buggin’ me is the alternate timelines/universes. Now what happens doesn’t seem to matter as much because it’s just one of who knows how many possible timelines.
Bah!
At least I’m not the only one who feels that way.
I’m still going to watch the final season and hope that it returns to old form.
MegaCon Fevah!
Next weekend at this time I’ll be at MegaCon hanging with my brother from another mother, John Beatty. My goal there is threefold:
- See old friends/make new ones.
- Pick up some new art for my Stallone Sketch Theme Collection.
- Have fun.
The cool thing is if I do #1 and #2 then #3 occurs naturally.
Hope to see you there!
Survival of the Dead
FilmFilia scored a first look a the red band trailer and some new posters for George Romero’s Survival of the Dead. Although I’m not feeling the poster or the trailer like I hoped I would, you know at some point I’m going to have to check out Survival of the Dead. I mean, c’mon, it’s George Romero and zombies. Which is, pardon the expression a No BRAINSer.
Escape from Planet Nowhere
This is the teaser poster for Otis Frampton’s new sci/fi action web comic ESCAPE FROM PLANET NOWHERE. Starting this Sunday [March 7th] a new page will be uploaded every week. Since I’m a fan of Otis’ art and I love good science fiction/action stories, dropping in each week will be a no-brainer for me. I bet you’d dig it too!
The Ultimate Fighter Cast Sneak Peak
The new season of The Ultimate Fighter premieres on March 31, but you can get a sneak peak at those competing for the contract by clicking here.
Jonah Hex #50 [Minor Spoilers]
The Pitch: Darwyn Cooke [artist] teams with Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti [writers] for the 50th issue [a double-sized extravaganza] of Jonah Hex.
The Overview: Hex and a female bounty hunter named Tallulah have found that working together has benefits… their relationship has become more than just professional. After a night spent together celebrating a huge reward, Hex wakes up alone. Determined to find Tallulah and the reason she left, Hex accepts a bounty mission to bring in 50 criminals. Fifty bounties is a huge burden, but it’ll be easier than accepting what he learns about Tallulah.
The Good: Darwyn Cooke’s art. The story by Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti. Tallulah is a cool character and the perfect love interest for Hex. The reason Tallulah left. Fifty bounties for the 50th issue was a nice touch.
The Bad: What happens to those hunted by Hex or Tallulah. Hex’s attitude after Tallulah leaves. What happens along the way and when Hex finds her.
The Ugly: Jonah Hex.
The Summary: Jonah Hex #50 is a great read. The story has twists that will surprise even the most jaded comic reader. It’s a double-sized issue and presents a complete story, so even the most casual comic reader can enjoy it. It’s definitely worth searching out.
Avatar / Pocahontas Mash-Up
I always enjoy a good mash-up. Especially one as well done as this Avatar/Pocahontas job. Thanks to Otis Frampton for the link.
