Stallone’s Surprising Interview
Something cool and unexpected happened during this interview with Sylvester Stallone. Well played, marketing department!
The Goon Goes Big Time
What could be better than a poster of Frankie and the Goon killing zombies as a movie poster? How about a Goonzilla-sized version?
Love Ain’t a Double Negative
Are you in the mood for a witty little film noir about a tough guy in love with an English teacher? If so, check out Double Negative.
Revisiting/Redesigning the Classics
I love it when artists re-imagine/redesign classic images. If you do too, then you’ll enjoy these nine classic posters (Jackie Brown; Dirty Harry; There Will be Blood; Convoy; The Blues Brothers; Robocop; On the Waterfront; Godfather II and Rocky) created by Oily Moss.
Cully Talks Up Red
My buddy, Cully Hamner talks about writing and drawing the prequel to Red, the comic that the movie is based on, but not the movie. If that seems confusing it’s really not… especially once you read the interview here.
Andrew Charipar is Expendable
I wasn’t expecting to see Andrew Charipar at this year’s Heroes Con. In fact, he almost didn’t make it due to car problems. Thankfully, he did and worked up a couple of new Stallone sketches for me. This is, of course, Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables. I’ll post the other sketch in a few weeks. Until then we have Andrew’s blog and his DA site to hold us over.
Hammer Time!
My guess is that several regular ZONERS (especially Bill Black and Chris Mills) will end up with the recently announced Art of Hammer book. It’ll feature the poster art from the Hammer horror films. It’s currently on sale for less than twenty buck which is a pretty scary deal.
The Batman Becomes The Fixer
If you’ve been holding your breath waiting for Frank (Dark Knight Returns; Sin City; 300) Miller to finish up his long awaited 120 page graphic novel where Batman fights Al Qaeda terrorists… well, here’s some good news and bad news. The good news: the novel is almost finished and will be published next some time next year. The bad news: it’s no longer a Batman story.
Instead Miller has decided to make the lead character his own. He’s called The Fixer and he’s an adventurer who just happens to be ex-special ops. So you can imagine what happens when terrorists attack and he’s around! You can find out more about the changes here.
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
Want to see the trailer to the 30 Days of Night sequel Dark Days? If so, then you’ve come to the right place.
Trailin’ “The Sons of Anarchy”
Season 3 of The Sons of Anarchy doesn’t premiere until September 7th, but we can see the new trailer now. Let’s ride!
Fringe Season 3 Preview
If you’re a Fringe fan, then you might want to check out i09.com’s preview of what we can expect to see in season three.
Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer Returns!
When Dave Stevens passed away last year, many thought that we’d never see another new story featuring his creation The Rocketeer. IDW has just announced that they will publish a four issue mini-series featuring Stevens’ Rocketeer with new stories and art by some of the most talented people in the industry. Folks like…
…Mike Allred, Kurt Busiek, John Cassaday, Darwyn Cooke, Michael Golden, Gene Ha, Michael Kaluta, Garry Leach, Bruce Timm, Bill Willingham, and… pin-ups by Geoff Darrow, Art Adams, Jeff Campbell, Mike Mignola and others…

Big Monster News
Harry Knowles at AICN recently announced that AICN is going to present and run the Famous Monsters of Filmland.com website. This is especially exciting news because Harry has a passion for horror films. He also has a huge fan base that he can attract to the site.
I love horror/monster movies and when I was a kid Famous Monsters of Filmland was always a fun read. But up until Harry’s announcement, I wasn’t even aware that there was a Famous Monsters website.
In other monster news, /Film posted a report that Tim Burton is developing a 3D film called Monsterpocalypse. Tim Burton and the title alone make it worth a look.
Who Drew The Walking Dead?
Harry at AICN posted this wicked Drew Struzan poster for AMC’s adaptation of The Walking Dead series. Harry has a ZOMBIELAND-sized version that could truly be your wallpaper and you can see it here.
The Walking Dead Walk
This Walking Dead motion comic is the coolest thing on the internet right now. Oh, and you might also want to check out a new (and much larger version) of The Walking Dead character poster below!
