DC recently announced a project that has me really wanting 2017 to come quick.  In celebrating the 100th birthday of the late Jack (King) Kirby, DC has announced the KAMANDI CHALLENGE, a 12 issue series that will star Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth.

If you are not familiar with the series, Kamandi was one of the amazing Kirby creations he did for DC in the 1970's.  Kamandi was the last boy on Earth who lived in a time when walking and talking animals ruled the planet.

A-Mazing stuff!!!

The series will be a year long event; 12 issues that will feature a different creative team each issue that will picking up the story where the last team left off. 

And who are the creators? How about past Secret Identity guests Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Connor, Gail Simone, Bill Willingham, Greg Pak, Tom King and James Tynion!!! THAT is just seven!!!!

​The first issue (a double size comic) will be released in January!

All Star Creators On DANTE

Press Release

Fan-favorite writer and Top Cow COO Matt Hawkins (SYMMETRY, THINK TANK) teams up with all-star artist Darick Robertson (HAPPY!, Transmetropolitan, The Boys) and co-writer Jason Ning for DANTE, a gritty, supernatural thriller one-shot from Image Comics and Top Cow Productions this January.

Dante was a family man with a wife and a young daughter—and also a top assassin working for an international crime syndicate. For two decades, he worked hard to keep those two lives separate. Manipulated into thinking he could retire with the syndicate's blessing, Dante is betrayed. While fighting to save himself, he accidentally kills a young Asian boy—an act which changes him forever. Cursed, and covered with otherworldly tattoos, Dante embarks on a journey to uncover the source of this supernatural affliction, and to save his family.

"When Cryptozoic and Strange Turn asked if I'd be interested in working on a book with Darick Robertson, I had to pinch myself at first to see if I was dreaming it," said Hawkins. "Darick is one of those artists that writers dream of collaborating with, and working with him was one of my most fulfilling experiences in comics thus far!"

"Working with Matt, Jason, and the whole Cryptozoic team was an excellent experience,” said Robertson. "The script is moody and gritty, which fit nicely into my artistic wheelhouse. The colors are by the ever incredible Diego Rodriguez, and I believe this is some of our best work to date."

DANTE ONE-SHOT (Diamond code: NOV160552) hits comic book stores Wednesday, January 25th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, December 12th.

RIVERDALE Series Gets Comics

10/15/2016

 
Picture
Press Release

The upcoming CW Riverdale TV series will feature a must-read comic book series, written by showrunner and Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and the members of the show's writers' room, along with art by up-and-coming artist Alitha Martinez. The one-shot RIVERDALE comic, hitting early next year, will be followed by an ongoing series set in the universe of the TV series.

The one-hour drama will be written by Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and produced by Warner Brothers Studios and Berlanti Productions and has been described as a subversive take on the classic Archie mythos. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schecter, Jon Goldwater, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa serve as executive producers.

The live-action series offers a bold, subversive take on Archie, Betty, Veronica, and their friends, exploring small-town life and the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale’s wholesome facade. The show will focus on the eternal love triangle of Archie Andrews, girl-next-door Betty Cooper, and rich socialite Veronica Lodge, and will include the entire cast of characters from the comic books—including Archie’s rival, Reggie Mantle, and his slacker best friend, Jughead Jones.
​
Popular gay character Kevin Keller will also play a pivotal role. In addition to the core cast, “Riverdale” will introduce other characters from Archie Comics’ expansive library, including Josie and the Pussycats.

RIVERDALE #1 (ONE-SHOT)

Chris Sarandon is Coming to Rock and Shock!

10/11/2016

 
Picture
by Brian LeTendre

Fright Night is easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time. Not only did it have a great mix of scares and laughs, but the practical effects by Richard Edlund, Steve Johnson and crew. But Fright Night would not have been nearly as good without a great performance by Chris Sarandon as the villainous vampire Jerry Dandridge. He was fantastic.

Sarandon was also in another iconic '80s horror flick, and one that spawned an entire franchise--Child's Play. He got to be a good guy in that one, playing the role of Detective Mike Norris, the nemesis of Charles Lee Ray (Chucky). 

This weekend, Chris will be at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA for Rock and Shock, along with a slew of other celebrities and musical acts. You can see the full lineup at rockandshock.com.
