If you don’t manage to catch Star Wars: Invasion writer Tom Taylor at Thursday’s celebration of 5 years of Gestalt, then you can catch him on Saturday at Comic Zone. Man, that’s an awkward sentence. Basically, Saturday Feb 20 (the day after my birthday!) Taylor will be signing Invasion, Star Wars Adventures, and his Gestalt [...]
Vertigo Covers
Now at Graphic Content, the official blog for Vertigo are a bunch of cool covers from upcoming issues. I’ve posted my faves below, including Daytripper, Hellblazer, Madame Xanadu and The Unwritten.
DC Universe: Last Sons
Now this seems like a good team-up – three sole survivors of their respective alien races banding together for a grand adventure. Last Sons is based on a 336 page novel of the same name released in 2006, and written by comics scribe Alan Grant (2000AD, Detective Comics). The so-called Graphic Audio is out on [...]
The Week In Pictures Feb 14 2010
Last week I revealed Andy Kubert’s covers for the first two issues of the upcoming Return of Bruce Wayne storyline. Now here’s the remaining 4. Oh yeah, a time-travelling Batman just screams cool to me. On an unrelated note, Bluewater Productions continue to churn out bio comics for the curious, as evidenced by their May [...]
Persian Centurion
Below are 2 new trailers for upcoming (very) old school action films. The Super Bowl teaser for the game adaptation Prince of Persia reveals the grand SFX and a buff Jake Gyllenhaal. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and written by the character’s [...]
Todd McFarlane on Broken Frontier
The famous creator of Spawn and writer/artist on Spider-Man, and so much more is now a regular contributor to comics site Broken Frontier. The Image co-founder speaks about his gig on the Image series Haunt, the absence of long-term creative runs these days, and more in his first column right here. Here’s a snippet that’s sure [...]
Star Wars: Knight Errant and New Invasion
Press release from Dark Horse below about a new Star Wars series from writer John Jackson Miller (Knights of the Old Republic), and under that – solicitation info regarding Tom Taylor’s and Colin Wilson’s continuing Invasion series which kicks off in May. Yay! DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES ALL-NEW STAR WARS™ SERIES, KNIGHT ERRANT! AS KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC [...]
Clash of the Titans Posters
The remake of the 1981 classic opens the day after April Fool’s Day, in the current cinematic fad of 3D. To see all 7 posters go here. When I look at them I can’t help but think this is what a Harry Potter film would look like if they made another one in 10 years [...]
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Clip
Here is the latest glimpse into the Feb 23-releasing animated film from DC Comics and Warner Bros. The more I see of it, the more I like it. Details and clip below. Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is an original story from award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League) rooted in DC Comics’ popular canon of [...]
Gestaltapalooza
Some may think there’s not a lot of fanboy/girl activity in the city in which I dwell. Sure, Perth is the most isolated city in the world, but we have a high percentage of comic book lovers. The new Supanova Pop Culture Exhibition is doing well, with its 3rd year coming in a few months, [...]
Marvel On Sale This Week
Under the cover images you’ll find the complete list of Marvel releases this week, and what awesome covers they are! A hairy assassin with opposable thumbs, superhero laundry and Darkness (of the X-Men and Tower variety). That’s what I call variety!
Legends: The Enchanted #0 Review
I was at one of my two local comic shops this week for my usual swag of goodies, when I noticed one of the guys bagging up the new releases. What caught my eye was Radical’s Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost #1. Amongst all the Big Two offerings, it stood out like a Twilight fan [...]
The Week In Pictures Feb 7 2010
There are so many press releases, previews and great snippets of upcoming comics products flooding the net daily, that it’s difficult to whack them all up on this humble blog. So, I thought I’d give a new (hopefully regular) feature a go and boil down all the juicy bits of recent nerd goodness to a [...]
Frozen
Looking for a good film for this weekend? Then check this out. Frozen from writer/director Adam Green is similar in approach to the great Open Water from a few years ago, in that it’s an indie film with few characters as they unravel while facing possible death. It stars Shawn Ashmore (Iceman from the X-Men [...]
