SDCC 2010: Marvel Announces ‘Blade’ Animated Series In Development
This weekend has been full of insanity, and if a pen fight over seating at the Resident Evil Afterlife panel isn’t evidence enough then I don’t know what else to tell you. (Sources say that the two parties still do not realize how stupid the cause of the argument was. More details at 10)For most, today is a bittersweet one, as it marks the official end of the comic book utopia, and now the fair residents of San Diego can finally begin to drop the 14 megatons of Febreeze on the city via helicopter that it will take to cleanse it of the cloud of body odor that has covered it for the past 4 days. However, that said there are still some big news bits making their way out of the building, and one of those happens to be the announcement of an all new animated series that is in development from Marvel Studios based on none other than “BLADE”. The series will air of G4 TV when it makes its debut next year, and presumably it will take place in Southeast Asia. Details were few and far between at the Marvel panel, but we will be sure to update you as news becomes available. For now the untitled “BLADE” animated series is slated for a 2011 air date.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
