One question asked at the DC panel today at the Kapow comic convention in London, was about DC co-publisher Dan DiDio’s interview with The Advocate. Specifically over the decision not to change any character’s sexual orientation when relaunching the DC Universe. At the time Dan stated they would introduce new LGBT characters rather than switch…

Warren Ellis has been talking plenty at Kapow, in London today. Lots of questions, lots of answers, lots of laughs, an unlit cigarette and a can or three of Red Bull. Amongst the jollity, he talked more about Gun Machine, his upcoming novel. That it is centred on a cop who discovers an apartment full…

This summer, the Aliens are just “and” the Cowboys. When Grant Morrison and Barry Sonnenfeld are ready to unleash their genre-blender mash-up, however, the Aliens will most definitely be “versus” the Dinosaurs.
Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens is set to premiere as a “graphic novel” from Liquid Comics later this year, also written by Morrison and illustrated by Mukesh Singh. The story line will apparently recount a prehistoric battle between Earth’s thunder lizards and an invasion of extra terrestrials. So can we assume that this film won’t even have any dialogue in it? That it’s just going to be flat-out visual storytelling and/or dinosaurs and aliens getting down to it in a series of massive set pieces?
Crikey. Could this ever possibly get a green light? I do hope so. I hope this isn’t just more vapourfilm from Liquid.
The only film script I’ve ever read by Mr. Morrison was an adaptation of his own comic series We3. To this day that’s still the greatest unproduced screenplay to ever land on my desktop. If there’s any justice in the world, we’ll be seeing that in cinemas one day too.
Deadline don’t have anything from Morrison in their piece on the project, but they do quote Sonnefeld:
Growing up, my fascination was all things dinosaur, and as an adult, I’ve had some success making films about aliens, so this is a dream come true.
Pfft.
The following image seems to be an official bit of development artwork, either from the comic or the film or both. Can anybody identify the artist responsible? Is it Mukesh Singh?
“One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June” That’s the comment DC’s Senior VP Publicity Courtney Simmons gave to ABC News from Burbank when asked for comment on the story we ran yesterday, that DC were to reintroduce a preexisting character into the New DCU,…
Thanks to Fox for this one. Honchos at Superman’s comic book home, DC Comics, said this weekend that one of their most identifiable (but as of yet unnamed) straight characters will soon be coming out of the closet, according to a report. No, and I was there. Dan DiDio, DC Comics co-publisher said that a…
It seems an age since C2E2. But an interview conducted by CBR with Dan Slott at the show has only just gone online. In which Slott stated that Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso has been contacting other creators on other Marvel books to ensure they reflect… whatever change is coming with Amazing Spider-Man #700 towards the…
Just as DC Comics is turning the headlines purple with the news at Kapow that a previously established character would be rebooted as a gay person, so Marvel Comics announced they have their own headlines in mind. Tune into ABC at 11a/10a E/C tomorrow as the hosts of ABC’s The View exclusively reveal a major…
One Marvel movie, one DC movie, two different outcomes.
Today at Kapow, DC announced that they would be taking an existing character and rebooting them as a very prominent gay DC character. I wonder if Kapow cosplayers beat them to it? There was alos a lot of Cosplay gone right though, as the cosplay competition hit the Kapow stage… Thanks to Chris Metcalfe for…
