EW Presents a Walking Dead Sneak Peak

Posted on by

Although we’re still over a month and a half away from the return of AMC’s The Walking Dead, this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly is going to give us a sneak peak at what to expect from the coming season.

From the looks of the four covers, this is going to be an issue and a season not to miss!

And a tip o’ Daryl Dixion’s crossbow arrow to CBR.com for the post.


RIP Tony Scott

Posted on by

Tony Scott died yesterday at the age of 68.  It has been reported that Mr. Scott had inoperable brain cancer and that was the reason he committed suicide by jumping from a bridge.

Tony Scott became a name director with Top Gun and then went on to direct hit after hit including: Beverly Hills Cop II, Revenge [under-rated!], Days of Thunder, The Last Boy Scout, True Romance, Crimson Tide and Man on Fire.

RIP Tony Scott.  Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends and fans.


Mike Torrance Takes Aim at Jack Carter

Posted on by

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd may have done more Jack Carter drawings than anyone else in my collection. Perhaps he enjoys drawing the character as much as I do getting the pieces.

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.


Scene of the Crime

Posted on by

You know I’m diggin’ that Scene of the Crime cover by Michael Lark and Sean Phillips.  It’s for a new, over-sized hardcover reprint of the crime/noir graphic story that Lark and Phillips did with writer, Ed Brubaker.

Scene of the Crime will be out on November 14th, but you should let your local comic shop manager know now.

 

The Rock is Fast & Furious

Posted on by

Yesterday Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tweeted this photo of himself and co-star Gina Carano from the set of Fast & Furious 6.  Justin Lin is returning to direct the sequel which also brings back original stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez.

Since I thought Fast 5 was the best of the series, I’m ready to buy a ticket now.


Bullet to the Head Trailer is Here

Posted on by

The Bullet to the Head trailer has finally arrived.  Directed by Walter Hill and starring Sly Stallone, Bullet to the Head is the big screen adaptation of the French crime graphic novel of the same name.

We’ve been following the progress of this film since it was first announced in 2008.  Having Bullet to the Head make it to the big screen with Sly in the lead is too cool.  Hopefully the film will be as well.

Joe Carnahan Has No Fear

Posted on by

 Joe Carnahan, [the writer/director known for Narc, Smokin’ Aces and The Grey] put together a short video to give a feel for what he’d do if given an opportunity to bring Daredevil to the big screen.  The video combines clips from several movies, with art from Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli’s run on Daredevil as well as some sweet Curtis Mayfield music thrown in to add a bit of spice.

Man, I’d love to see what Carnahan could do with the right cast and budget.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like this will happen.

Thanks and a tip o’ Matt Murdock’s shades to CBR.com.

Mike Torrance: A Tale of Two Carters

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.
