That’s the Alex Ross poster that will be available at Comic-Con to promote the up-coming season of AMC’s The Walking Dead.
I’m glad that the poster features art, but I’d have rather seen something from Charles Adlard or Tony Moore. If they wanted to go with an artist not associated with The Walking Dead, then how about Steranko or Francesco Francavilla?
Gerardo Moreno is back with his new Jack Carter piece. Prints of this painting are available here. I’ve always enjoyed Gerardo’s Stallone art, and know that I can see more of his art here.
Don’t you dig this Gold Key cover mock-up for Gravedigger?
Chris Mills explains how the faux cover came about:
I had so much fun mocking up that Gold Key Comics-styled Femme Noir cover yesterday, that last night I dusted off the terrific, painted Gravedigger: The Scavengers variant cover by my friend Fred Harper, and knocked out this retro/faux Gravedigger piece. There’s something kinda subversive about seeing the squeaky-clean Gold Key trade dress & logo on this hardboiled title…
Don’t forget that Gravedigger: Hot Women, Cold Cash by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett is available! It gets my highest recommendation.
Although I haven’t seen The Great Gatsby movie, I have seen enough trailers and clips for it to know that The Great Gatsby is visually stunning.
Now thanks to Chris Godftrey we can see a major reason why The Great Gatsby looked so amazing.
In honor of the 40th anniversary of its release, Warner Bros. released a special 2 disc edition Blu-ray of Enter the Dragon.
CBR.com had a post that is no longer available. Enter the Dragon’s producers Fred Weintraub and Fred Heller, cinematographer Gil Hubbs and co-star Bob Wall were interviewed. In it, Fred Heller talked about how comic books influenced the look and feel of Enter the Dragon:
Heller: Comic books played a big part in Enter the Dragon. When we first started thinking about the look of the film, there was a comic strip called Terry and the Pirates, and that became sort of the genesis of the whole look of the film. It was about a Dragon Lady and Chinese pirates, and it was a wonderful moment in time about adventure. But it has a wonderful, brilliant color scheme of golds and blues and reds, and if you think about Enter the Dragon, that’s what we did. And that was very, very conscious. It just felt like it would be very right for the film.
Gerardo Moreno is back with his new Wolfman piece. You can see more of his art here at Gerardo’s site. His Wolfman print is also available through Fine Art America.

Hey, it’s been a week, perhaps we should check in on Riddick.
Good thing we did or we might have missed the new poster above!
Today we have Sly as Deke DaSilva by Shawn Surface. Shawn is an all-around nice guy and his art should get more attention. So why not check out his site and give him some love?
Sequential Highway recently posted a really good interview with Charles Adlard. In it Adlard talks about taking over the art chores on The Walking Dead from Tony Moore, the fan backlash it caused, the longevity/popularity of The Walking Dead and a whole lot more.
Kudos to Julinda Morrow for posing interesting questions!
Under the Radar posted a nice little interview with The Guns of Shadow Vallery co-creators, [artist] Dave Wachter and [writer] James Andrew Clark.
If you’re already aware of The Guns of Shadow Valley, you’ve probably backed their Kickstarter project. If you aren’t or haven’t, please consider learning more or doing so.
I did and am looking forward to to getting the book in my mitts.
Gravedigger by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett is the best web comic going. Heck, drop the web comic distinction because Gravedigger is one of the best comics of any kind regularly published these days.
If you’re a fan of crime stories, Lee Marvin, or great comics [as in amazing writing and art] then you should be reading this free web comic. [Keep in mind that Gravedigger is not for children since adult language and situations sometimes appear — it is a crime comic after all.]
I’d like to see Gravedigger and the talents of Chris Mills and Rick Burchett reach a wider audience. So, I’ve come up with the Gravedigger Challenge.
Give Gravedigger a try and if you don’t like it, I owe ya a Coke [or Diet Coke, if you prefer]. If you do like Gravedigger, you owe me nothing.
I would appreciate it though, especially if you like Gravedigger, if you would help spread the word. Send out a Tweet, a Facebook / blog post or, simply tell a friend!
Did you know that Rocky Balboa was once a member of G.I. Joe? In 1986 it was announced that he was.
But then a month later came…
So the question remains… was Rocky a member of team G.I. Joe or was it a mistake made by an overzealous member of the G.I. Joe publicity team?
Or perhaps… just maybe, Rocky was a secret member of the Joe’s and the first file was somehow leaked so a denial was needed. ; ) – Craig

That’s Scott Godlewski’s take on Sly as Rambo. I got this sketch when I ordered a couple of Scott’s sketchbooks. He also did me a killer Jack Carter that I post in the coming weeks.
Until then, you can see more of Scott’s art here. – Craig
Here’s the poster to Homefront starring Jason Statham with a screenplay by Sylvester Stallone [who also doubles as a producer on the film].
I like the look of this and can’t wait to see a trailer.
It’s been almost three years since we’ve seen news about the uber-talented Jason Pearson here at CZ.com.
Today I’m really happy to write that Jason is hard at work on a new Body Bags mini-series that he calls Body Bags: Vicious. Jason says that he’s going to write, draw and color the series.
Where can I put in my order, now?
