Guns And Dinos And Brutal – Frank Cho Creates Two New Comics For Image

brutal-frank-cho-s

Frank Cho is best known today for two things, drawing Marvel superheroes with hard men and well built women, and Liberty Meadows with soft animals… and well built women. And now he has two new books coming out from Image that shouldn’t fall too far from his rather successful tree. Guns And Dinos continues the…

Jonathan Hickman’s The Manhattan Projects With Nicky Pitarra And Secret With Ryan Godenheim

He is best known right now for killing the Human Torch, relaunching the Fantastic Four as FF, and continuing complex work like Secret Warriors and SHIELD. But many people first discovered Hickman for his title Nightly News. Followed by a number of other Image series, he quickly made a name for himself and was snapped…

You don’t invite Brian K. Vaughan onto an Image Comics panel without expecting something big. At San Diego Comic Con today, he announced that he was writing a new Image comic, Saga, drawn by Fiona Staples, about a family thrown together and trying to survive galactic war. With Y The Last Man and Ex Machina…

Howard Chaykin To Create Black Kiss II

kiss

It’s not quite as controversial as it was when first published. Indeed, compared to some popular titles it seems quite quaint. Black Kiss with its bleak human outlook, full frontal transexual nudity, dirty talk and blow jobs caused an uproar when originally published in the eighties in its thin, black and white floppy format, bagged…

Coming out of a panel about getting news coverage for your comics (which was surprisingly full thanks to being scheduled in front of the Teenwolf panel), I made way for this little beauty… I love Comic Con. Okay, I’m going to go for a little sleep now.

As premiered this afternoon at Comic-Con, here’s the first trailer for Joe Lynch’s long awaited second film, Knights of Badassdom. Beautiful cast – in many sense of the word. No wonder the San Diego horde went a bit gaga for them. Technically, this is NSFW stuff. You can always find a new job anyway. It’s…

Fox News Interviews The DC New 52 Relaunch Protest

23072011378

That was the DC protest that was. Attended by a group of Joker and Harley Quinn cosplayers and a fellow comics reporter dressed as Superman, it wasn’t the hundreds-strong gathering that Facebook promised, but what they lacked in numbers they made up for in spirit. Even if some of the costumes seemed a little closer…

Rhys Ifans, The Lizard In The Amazing Spider-Man, Arrested At San Diego Comic Con And Cited For Misdemeanor Battery

UPDATE by Brendon: It looks like The Wrap may have misreported here. Their current, backpedalling, version of the story claims: the guard subsequently made a citizen’s arrest. Mark’s original story follows. Amazing Spider-Man villain Rhys Ifans, who plays the Lizard in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man film, was arrested at San Diego Comic Con last…

We’ve seen a trailer for the film, which introduced the basic LARPers vs. demon set-up and then a very energetic Joe Lynch bounded onto the stage. Shortly afterwards there was a full deck of performers from the film, running down from Ryan Kwanten at the one end to Summer Glau and Peter Dinklage at the…
