During a late-afternoon panel at Wizard World Chicago, Devil’s Due Publishing announced today that it would be producing a Vampire Hunter D miniseries (titled “American Wasteland”) based on the popular anime/manga character. While the full creative team, length of the series and release date haven’t been finalized, DDP president Josh Blaylock will be serving as…
After a full day on the floor at this year’s Wizard World Chicago (which is actually held well away from Chicago in Rosemont, IL), I can’t help but think the "Chicago" aspect of the show’s title isn’t the only element that’s a bit misleading. This weekend, it’s far more accurate to say that it’s "Avatar…
The word went out late last about the passing of creator Michael Turner, but I waited until this morning to post it here in the hope that there was some mistake. Unfortunately, the news was confirmed this morning on the Aspen Message Boards by the publisher’s editorial director, Vince Hernandez. Hello all, Unfortunately it’s with…
Marriage proposals happen a lot of ways these days, but leave it to Ian McConville of gaming webcomic Three Panel Soul to present the big question in the form of an 8-bit videogame he created on the sly. McConville offered up a few screenshots from the game, but won’t be posting a playable version online,…
If Friday morning’s "Mondo Marvel" panel was any indication of what the rest of the weekend had in store for attendees at Wizard World Chicago, it’s going to be a loooong convention. Marvel PR guru Jim McCann moderated a panel that featured Peter David, C.B. Cebulski, Tom Brevoort, Mike Perkins, Brian Reed, Bill Rosemann and…
Tom Spurgeon of The Comics Reporter has always been great at introducing me to comics I might never have been aware of were it not for his recommendation, so I was particularly intrigued by his recent list of the "Twelve Mostly Overlooked Comics Published In The Last Twelve Or So Years." While the list includes…
When Rich Stevens announced that his popular webcomic Diesel Sweeties was entering into a significant print syndication deal more than a year go, it was big — no, huge — news for webcomic creators and the online publishing scene as a whole. Last night’s announcement by Stevens that he was ending print syndication of Diesel…
There’s a lot of Watchmen news hitting the ‘Net these days, as we chase the shot of fake "Veidt Enterprises" commercials we posted earlier with some San Diego Comic-Con International rumors related to the big-screen adaptation of the groundbreaking graphic novel. Cinematical has provided a nice synopsis of the interesting bits gleaned from several recent…
From Beetlejuice and Batman to Nightmare Before Christmas and the recent remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Danny Elfman has provided the music that has turned good films into great films, and has been no stranger to scoring the big-screen adaptations of comic books. In a short time, movie-goers will be treated to another…
With only a matter of hours until much of the ComicMix team heads out to Chicago for this year’s show, it’s only right to post a story or two with ties to the ol’ Windy City. From June 21 to July 26, several members of the Chicago-area comic creators collective known as "The Holy Consumption"…
Watchmen director Zack Snyder recently announced the winners of the "Veidt Enterprises Advertising Contest," in which YouTube users submitted commercials promoting fictional products of Veidt Enterprises, the company run by Adrian Veidt (a.k.a. "Ozymandias"). Contestants submitted the commercials for potential use in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ graphic novel. While…
I have to admit, I’m a bit torn about the upcoming, four-issue Marvel Apes miniseries. On one hand, it’s nice to envision a post-Marvel Zombies world. Even though I enjoyed the original Zombies stories (and a few of the dozen-or-so subsequent spin-offs, tie-ins and one-shots), it’s long past time to put the living dead back…
