Mat Rees has made a video chronicling the totally-real-promise
story behind the making of Before Watchmen, in which a dick has to
counter-react to being dicked over by some dicks. Seriously, has there been any
story this year more filled with people nobody really likes? Anyway, this take
on Alan Moore seems in-line with what I’ve heard from people in the know, and
also shows just how influential Moore was on not only the comic-book industry,
but Liam Neeson’s film career.
Mike Mignola returns to full writing/drawing duties this
December, as Hellboy in Hell finally gets a release date. After getting killed
off at the start of this year (right?), Hellboy now finds himself in an
environment even more filled with monsters than any he’s been in before. Who
would’ve thought it, right?
Interestingly enough though, Mignola says that this version of Hell is going to be more like John
Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’ than anything else, which suggests it may start to
ramble interminably halfway through, before picking up steam towards the end
when some more familiar characters show up. Also, that there’ll be a whole load
of weird raping going on. At least it’s not based on Pilgrim’s Progress!
Kickstarter news, and I’ve been sent an email by Christian
Sager and Kelly Williams about their lovely-looking proposed project ‘The Cabinet’. At 110
pages long, it’s quite the mission, for both the creators and the cast. The
story sees a group of doomed explorers attempt to conquer the arctic, only to
go mad and so forth. Like The Thing! Which, as I read further down the press
release, is actually exactly how the team are describing the book. Nice work
reading my mind, you guys! You can find the Kickstarter here, if you so wish todonate towards the project. They’re
about halfway there, with only a few days left!
And finally, who wants to read an interview I did with Greg Pak about X-Treme X-Men? Why, you do, of course! Right? RIGHT? Head to Comics Bulletin for more!
