On sale August 12th is The Darkness #79 from Top Cow. Below are a few pages from it, as well as the two covers by Jorge Lucas and Whilce Portacio.
The Darkness #79
Phil Hester (A) Jorge Lucas (Cov) Lucas, Whilce Portacio
Jorge Lucas returns for a special issue of The Darkness.
Jackie Estacado, bearer of The Darkness, is through with being someone else’s bag man and assembles a special team of thieves, smugglers, and murderers for one purpose – to take down The Sovereign.
And a few bad ones too. It’s been a while since I’ve done a film review, so here’s some I’ve seen recently that are worth watching, or worth avoiding.
JCVD. Jean Claude Van Damme was always one of the best action stars back in the day; the day being the ’90s. It always amused me how he somehow managed to do the splits in every flick. A few expensive divorces and bad films later and he’s not the star he once was. I can’t even remember the last time he was in a cinematically released film. Anyway, JCVD is his comeback of sorts. He plays himself as a fading star, with fans everywhere he goes, and gets caught up in a robbery at a post office. Let me just say that he’s brilliant in this. Yes, brilliant. He gives an Oscar worthy performance and shows the audience that he’s more than just the guy with the fancy footwork. If you don’t mind subtitles, give this a go. It’s more of a drama than an actioner, but hopefully it allows Van Damme more meatier roles in the future.
Punisher: War Zone. I liked The Punisher with Thomas Jane and John Travolta, back in 2004. It stayed close to the dark comics, and despite the low budget and speed with which it was shot, it worked. The sequel, of sorts, doesn’t have as much – character, and Ray Stevenson does have a hardness that Jane didn’t bother with. The fight scenes are more brutal and gory and the plot is thin. Classic characters such as Microchip and Jigsaw aren’t really explored at all. It’s – okay as an action film, but Frank Castle deserves better.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop starring hefty Kevin James is somewhat funny. James is great in it, as a naive and loveable security guard in a shopping centre. It’s a little too Disney, but at least it’s safe for family viewing. The bad guys aren’t really so evil and the physical comedy mostly works.
Fighting. If you’ve seen last year’s Never Back Down, which was a cross between Fight Club and The O.C, there’s no need to see this film. It stars Channing Tatum as a young, homeless ex-wrestler who doesn’t mind a fight. Terrence Howard is in this film for some reason as a hustler who guides Tatum in his fights for cash. It’s a simple film and there’s no real substance to it.
12 Rounds. The best of the WWE Studios films so far, but that’s not saying a lot. Wrestler John Cena does his best to become actor John Cena and doesn’t too badly. He’s a New Orleans cop who accidentally kills the girlfriend of a bad guy who then kidnaps Cena’s woman a year later and forces him to run around the city completing 12 tasks in order to save her. Yes, it’s a little too similar to Die Hard: With a Vengeance (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) but director Renny Harlin stamps a visual flair on it that makes it better than average.
And the love of classic comics characters continues. It’s not only Dynamite and Alex Ross that are getting in to the act. Press release below.
AFTER MUCH SPECULATION, DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF TUROK®, DOCTOR SOLAR, MAGNUS, AND MIGHTY SAMSON
DARK HORSE TEAMS WITH COMICS LEGEND, JIM SHOOTER, TO EXPAND GOLD KEY COMICS’ SUPERHEROES
In a packed panel on Saturday morning during Comic Con, Dark Horse president, Mike Richardson called a surprise guest to announce Dark Horse’s plans to develop new comics and graphic novels for the Gold Key Comics’ superheroes. Fans were shocked to see Jim Shooter enter the room; the man recently named the “Steve Jobs of Comics” by Comic Book Bin.
Shooter is perhaps best known for his nine year tenure at Marvel Comics, beginning in 1982, with highlights including Chris Claremont and John Byrne’s run on the Uncanny X-Men, and Frank Miller’s run on Daredevil. Also under Shooter’s editorial reign, Walt Simonsen revamped The Mighty Thor and made it again a bestseller. Following his successful run at Marvel, Shooter launched the well-received Valiant comics imprint in the early 90s, bringing many of Marvel’s creators with him.
Now, Jim Shooter comes to Dark Horse as head writer for the re-launch of the Gold Key Comics characters: Turok, Son of Stone®, Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom, Magnus, Robot Fighter, and Mighty Samson, with further characters and new comic writers to be announced shortly.
“It’s great to be at Dark Horse, working with Mike Richardson, world-class creator, honorable gentleman and industry powerhouse” said Jim Shooter. “It’s great to be reunited with Magnus, Solar, Turok, Samson and the other wonderful Gold Key properties. The opportunity is tremendous and the time is ripe. Let’s do it.”
“Jim and I share a great affection for these terrific characters. We have some very exciting ideas on how to introduce them to a whole new generation of fans.” said Mike Richardson, president of Dark Horse Comics.
Turok®
An original comic book hero, Turok is best known today for a successful video game franchise boasting more than five million units sold since the first game was introduced in the 1990s. The legend of the brave and ruthless dinosaur-hunter has lived on for more than thirty years in comic book series from Dell Comics, Gold Key Comics and Valiant. Anthologies of the original classic comics are now available from Dark Horse Comics.
Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom
Doctor Solar must find a way to become normal again after surviving an explosion that leaves him with the power to control atomic energy. When danger and disaster threaten the innocent, Solar leaps into action as the “Man of the Atom.” One of Gold Key Comics’ most popular titles in the 1960s, the original nuclear-powered superhero reached legendary status by the 1990s in new comics from Valiant. The original classic comics now appear in hardcover anthologies published by Dark Horse Comics.
Magnus, Robot Fighter
Haling from the year 4,000 A.D. is the stalwart hero of humanity, Magnus, Robot Fighter. These gripping adventure stories, in which a human who battles evil robots in the sprawling futuristic city of North Am, elevated the comic book medium when they debuted in the 1960s from Gold Key Comics, and captured the imagination of millions in new comics published thirty years later by Valiant. The original science-fiction classics now appear in hardcover anthologies published by Dark Horse Comics.
Mighty Samson
A popular Gold Key Comics character from the 1960s and 70s, the post-apocalyptic adventures of Mighty Samson are set in the land of N’Yark, an earth devastated by nuclear war. Amazingly large and strong, Samson uses his mutant strength only for good—and to protect his friends, Sharmain and Mindor, responsible for saving his life.
I remember the Spidey cartoon from the 1990s. It was a good decade for comics related toons, with Batman: The Animated Series and the X-Men being faithful to their printed origins. Now the Spidey toon is available for free on Marvel’s web-site. Details below.

In the new tradition of musicians creating comics comes Radical’s Incarnate, from Nick (son of KISS’ Gene) Simmons, and I gotta say, it’s not too bad. This 3 issue mini-series is a reinvention of the vampire mythos, but before you roll your eyes at that notion, let me say that Simmons, as both writer and artist does a respectable job of breathing new life in to the undead.
It opens with one of preacher/poet John Donne’s works about death, from a few centuries ago, before revealing a naked boy eating a dog in an alley, while speaking lines like, “I am a bloodhound tethered to an invisible master.” Right off the bat, you know this isn’t a typical vamp comic.
Mot, the naked kid grabs some clothes off a hobo he’s just drained blood from before shooting Connor, a vamp assassin in the face, but it’s just a flesh wound. The pair then go to a club of vamps, or “revenants” as they’re known in Incarnate where they discover that their old foe Solomon Vane and his family are tracking them. Not only that, they’ve finally discovered a way to kill them. A battle comences with Vane’s eager general Vincent and an army of well armed soldiers but only Mot and Connor remain behind to fight them, and things don’t look good for the pair.
Incarnate is off to an impressive debut. It’s wildly different from any of Radical’s other offerings. Their painterly, serious approach is not taken here and this resembles a standard comic that you’d find from another publisher. Having Nick Simmons’ name on the cover certainly helps, as does the exposure its received on his family’s reality TV show. Not alot is revealed about the revenants at this point. We know they’re immortal and treat humans with disdain, but that’s about it. Two more issues isn’t much at all to build upon that mythology, but perhaps if this series is successful enough, more will follow.
The manga influences are strikingly obvious, but Simmons makes it work. His passion for manga can be seen on every page, with flowing blood, speed lines and jagged panels everywhere. However, there’s a sense of clarity and purpose to the design. It never feels cumbersome and the story is satisfyingly streamlined. I can only assume Simmons is the primary penciller, as there is also an inker, a colorist and three assistant artists given credit. I’ve never seen that before, but Nam Kim is the only one given the honour of a cover credit besides Simmons’ name. However, from all the interviews I’ve read, and his appearance at Radical’s Comic-Con panel, this is Simmons’ show all the way. Considering this is his first comic as both writer and artist, he’s off to a good start. Hopefully with his name attached, and its manga flavour, many non-regular comics readers will pay attention and give Incarnate the chance it deserves.
I first saw the simple image of Oblivion from Radical a while ago and wondered what it was. The publisher has a good handle on sci-fi epics and has been making strong steps in to the film biz lately, so this bodes well. Press release below.
TRON LEGACY’s JOSEPH KOSINSKI SET TO DIRECT OBLIVION
Coming out of San Diego Comic-Con International, Radical Publishing is proud to announce that Joseph Kosinski, director of the upcoming Tron Legacy, is slated to direct Oblivion as a full-length feature film, based on the upcoming hardcover book also created by the director. Oblivion will be produced by Kosinski alongside Radical Publishing’s President and Publisher Barry Levine, filmmaker David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Anonymous Content’s David Morrison. Radical Publishing’s Executive Vice President Jesse Berger is attached as executive producer.
Set in the distant future, Oblivion revolves around a court-martialed soldier who is exiled to a desolate planet ravaged by the wrath of time. During his efforts to explore his surroundings and bring an end to the last remains of a primitive alien race, he comes across a mysterious traveler. Through the help of this enigmatic traveler, the soldier begins to question everything he knows – both about the galaxy at large and himself.
“I was looking to make a science fiction film that I could do on a budget,” stated Kosinski of the initial concept. “It’s grown since then, but it’s intended to be a very spare science fiction film, with a small cast but big ideas and big landscapes.”
“We’re very excited to have Joe Kosinski’s Oblivion at Radical,” said Barry Levine. “This our very first non comic property and the first book to debut in our illustrated novels collection. Not only has Joe crafted a unique vision for this book, he’s managed to create an incredible world and a compelling story. We’re pleased and proud to be a part of this project and fans will be overwhelmed with what we are planning for this book’s release.”
Oblivion will debut as a Hardcover hybrid novel in a landscape format, mixing the traditional text based novel with highly rendered illustrations. The book is set for a San Diego Comic-Con 2010 release under the Radical Books imprint.

“TWILIGHT” IN THE SPOTLIGHT: STEPHENIE MEYER FEATURED IN “FEMALE FORCE” BIO COMIC
In time for the November theatrical release of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” Bluewater Productions announced it is producing two versions of an upcoming biography comic on best selling author Stephenie Meyer.
“Female Force: Stephenie Meyer”, scheduled for release right before the movie hits theaters on, November 20th, provides readers two options: a standard 22-page version and a double-sized collector’s edition that contains a variety of extras.
“We get to turn the tables on Meyers and she becomes the featured protagonist,” said Bluewater’s president Darren G. Davis. “And we are going to tell her story in a very fun, respectful and unique way.”
The comic, written by Ryan Burton (“Flying Saucers vs. The Earth”) examines her rise to popularity, her “Twilight” saga novels, the launching of the successful movie franchise and her future plans. According to Burton, a very recognizable and iconic vampire will serve as the story’s narrator.
“It’s an equally strange and great feeling to write about an author of this magnitude, especially in a format that’s near and dear to my heart. I think it’s brilliant that Stephenie Meyer’s story will be read by both fans of her work, and fans of the comic book medium,” Burton said.
The alternate 40-page collector’s edition will include the history of Forks; the Washington peninsula town where her stories take place as well as other bonus material not found anywhere else.
The title is being drawn by Dave Macneil and Vinnie Tartamella provides the cover art.
Meyer, Named USA Today’s “Author of the Year” in 2008, is the first author of fiction featured in the Female Force series. The series, to date, has published biographies on such influential women as Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin and Princess Diana.
“Female Force” offers a broad examination of strong and influential women who are shaping modern history and culture.
“Stephenie Meyer has captured the imagination of millions. She has parlayed her stories into a cottage industry and that’s why we felt she was indeed a “Female Force’,’” Davis added. “Also, I’m hooked on the books like everyone else!”
Davis notes other prominent and influential female authors, business executives, entertainers, journalists, politicians and activists are currently in development.
The monthly comic book series, launched earlier this year, has drawn considerable media attention, including features on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and “Live with Regis and Kelly.” It has also been featured in such periodicals as People Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today and thousands of blogs and other media outlets.
The suggested retail price (SRP) for the upcoming comic book is $3.99 for the standard 22-page version and $6.99 for the 40-page trade paperback collector’s edition.
One of the great things about Comic-Con is the massive amount of undiscovered talent on show. On my last day, with time dwindling I went for a last look down the Small Press aisles and browsed, and grabbed a few cards and flyers for later perusing on-line. Mr. Oblivious is one such discovery. The brainchild of Mark Gonyea, Mr. Oblivious is a regular web toon. The great thing about it is that the majority of the silent strips take a bit of thinking before the laughing commences, and all are accompanied by his initial sketches and thoughts. The wit on display is greater than the simple artistic approach may suggest. Gonyea is a talented guy and besides his Mr. Oblivious work, has also done graphic design, Story Posters and has released two books on design. Snoop around his site for a look at some unique art and a few chuckles.
Green Lantern: First Flight is the best looking DC animated film yet and should easily convince anyone that the live action film is well deserved. Writer Alan Burnett, who has been working with Superman and Batman in comics as well as animated form over the last few years, does a tremendous job of offering a streamlined version of this much loved space opera.
At the moment Green Lantern is one of the hottest characters around, thanks to Geoff Johns and his epic building Blackest Night event. The focus in this animated adventure is not about such complexities, as one film wouldn’t be enough, but it does a great job of providing all the information needed for the Lantern curious.
It’s essentially Hal Jordan: Year One but there’s no Rocky-style training montage. Less than 10 minutes after the film begins Jordan has received his ring from the dying alien Abin Sur and is off to Oa, where he’s partnered with veteran Lantern, Sinestro. It’s been described elsewhere as Training Day in space, and that’s a tidy fit. Hal is the first earthman to receive a power ring, which enables its wearer to make constructs of whatever they can imagine. The Green Lantern Corps (an intergalactic peace keeping force) have been around for aeons, thanks to the Guardians, a race of little blue creatures who fashioned the rings and oversee the Corps. Jordan’s not a popular new recruit, and the myriad of aliens know Earth doesn’t have a good track record. However Sinestro offers to show Jordan the ropes. This is when Jordan grasps what the ring is capable of, and its weakness to the colour yellow, as well discovering that Sinestro is sick of the system and has secretly been trying to take over the Guardians’ job as rulers of the universe.
The problem with this film is the same thing that makes it so enjoyable for fanboys. It is a non-stop ride. Viewers will get more from it if they’re already somewhat familiar with the GL concept. The basics are offered, but with no real explanations. The bonus features offer more answers to the mythos though, with Geoff Johns chiming in about Blackest Night, and summaries of the Guardians and Sinestro. There’s also an excellent look at September’s Superman/Batman: Public Enemies film, which looks rocking. It re-unites the original animated voices of Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor and sticks closely to the first few issues of the Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness series. With its ramped up action and guest stars galore, this could possibly be the best of these movies. Also included are previous looks at the earlier films, Justice League: New Frontier, Batman: Gotham Knight and Wonder Woman, the latter of which GL director Lauren Montgomery also directed. Trailers for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ban 10: Alien Force, Bakugan and Batman: Gotham Knight round out the extras on the first disc.
Disc 2 has the best extras, with more Geoff Johns, but this time he reveals his history on the character and how he sees Hal and co. This feature also includes heaps of eye candy, with art from Ivan Reis, Dave Gibbons and others. It’s an interesting, though brief, look at Johns, as he mentions the doubts many had on Hal’s future, his research at Edwards Air Force Base, and how he got his internship with Superman director Richard Donner. The classic Green Loontern episode from the Duck Dodgers in the 24 ½ th Century TV toon from a few years ago is here too. Duck Dodgers accidentally receives a Lantern suit and ring from the drycleaners and must rescue the Corps from the clutches of Sinestro. It features many light hearted cameos, including Kevin Smith as Jordan! What is becoming a regular extra is Bruce Timm Presents, where the veteran animation producer and character designer chooses two fave episodes from the DC animated banks. Here it’s the Once and Future Thing Part One and Two from Justice League Unlimited. This is a welcome extra, but an introduction by Timm on who he is and why he chose these episodes would make sense.
Each Lantern suit is slightly different not only from its comic book counterpart, but also from each other. Carol Ferris, Tomar Re, Ch’p, Arisia, Kilowog and The Guradians appear the same in both appearance and personality, but other familiar characters are strangely different, such as the Weaponers of Qward, Abin Sur, Kanjar Ro and Boodikka, voiced by Tricia Helfer.
I can see this film being one which separates audiences. It’s perhaps too much for DC novices, but it looks splendid, and is filled with action and many (off-screen) deaths. 77 minutes isn’t long enough for an introduction into the sprawling GL mythos, though the extras help reveal more. The music by Robert Kral is the best of these movies, and I’m glad to see Sinestro eventually get his fancy yellow suit.
The voice acting is great too. Christopher Meloni (Law and Order: SVU) handles Jordan well, as does Michael Madsen with Kilowog, and Victor Garber (Alias) is pitch perfect as Sinestro, with menace and arrogance in equal measure. Garber’s role is the largest one in the film and he steps up with relish.
First Flight won’t be for everyone, but it’s close to the comics for the most part and its mix of space faring adventure, cop show and dazzling visuals should be enough for fans of DC and good animation. Considering this is the second direct-to-DVD release from DC this year, with one more to come in 2009, its pretty impressive. They keep churning them out with no loss of quality.
Green Lantern: First Flight is available on DVD, Blu-Ray and On Demand now.
I’ve been familiar with this unique action, kung-fu series for a while now. The blend of comics and short films is a great idea. I spoke to the guys behind Justice For Hire at Comic-Con and picked up a few things from them, and now they’re launching onto the iPhone, which is an impressive step. Press release below.
“JFH: Justice-For-Hire” Launches on iPhone and Vuze
Following the critically acclaimed comic book’s first season in 2008 and the continuing web series in 2009, the world’s first “ultra-realistic” mixed martial arts action series, “JFH: Justice-For-Hire”, has officially partnered with iPhone developer Iconology, Inc., and Vuze, the world
leading provider of online high definition (HD) video content.
Iconology, Inc.’s iPhone application (app), Comics by ComiXology, debuted at last week’s San Diego Comic Con, and within days shot up the ranks of iTunes’ top selling e-books to the number two position, which it continues to hold this week. “JFH is a fun, high-action, innovative book with some great video content attached. We’re excited to get Creative Impulse comics on the Comics by ComiXology iPhone OS app,” stated Iconology’s principle, David Steinberger. While the “JFH” comic book series is currently available in the Comics app, ComiXology plans a stand-alone “JFH” app to launch this summer, packaged with the live action content that has distinguished the series and the Creative Impulse Entertainment (CIE)
company from the pack of traditional comic book publishers.
Vuze launched both a “JFH: Justice-For-Hire” Channel and a new Media Hub site dedicated to “JFH,” on the Vuze HD Network. According to Jeff Rowe, Vuze’s Executive Produce, “Vuze is thrilled to be partnering with JFH in delivering their cutting edge web series to avid fans on Vuze.”
“We are totally enthusiastic about the partnerships with Vuze and Iconology,” said CIE chief executive officer and “JFH” creator Jan Lucanus. “They are both special companies that are driven by the same goal as Creative Impulse, which is to make the coolest content possible
and get it out to the people in a massive way. Vuze and Iconology are leading the pack in digital distribution, and we are pushing the boundaries of innovation, so it’s a win-win for all, especially the fans”.

Beast Boy from the Teen Titans appears in Batman: The Brave and The Bold #7, the series based on the amusing cartoon. This issue centres on the original Doom Patrol and gives succinct origins for each member, and Beast Boy, or Changeling as he’s sometimes known, is along for the ride. However, why does he wear a mask? Odd.
Dellec #1 is the kick-off for this new series from Aspen Comics. They’ve wisely branched out their properties lately, so their books aren’t all about Fathom and Soulfire. The teaser Dellec #0 didn’t offer any answers to the direction of this new series, and we are not given any more clues here. What we do know is that Dellec is a tough guy who fights evil, with elements of faith thrown in for good measure. This issue opens splendidly with the hero’s fight against a gang calling themselves the Kongs, because they dress up as primates. The art by Micah Gunnell is awesome, and a perfect fit for this action packed book. Writers Frank Mastromauro and Vince Hernandez really need to start revealing more though, especially considering there’s only 7 more issues to go. So far it’s all noise and blood, but with very little substance, but it does have plenty of room to move and is graphically designed very well.
The best line this week would have to come from Dynamite’s Sherlock Holmes #3 written by John Reppion and Leah Moore. Ready? Here it is.
“Oh my giddy Aunt! Will you look at that?”
Classic. I’m going to slip that into my conversations from now on.
