Robert Kirkman (“The Walking Dead”), is teaming with executive producer David Alpert, Fox International Channels and his Image Comics imprint Circle of Confusion to bring a new drama to TV screens sometime soon. Per THR, “the potential series is based on Kirkman’s upcoming comic series set in the world of exorcism.”
The currently untitled show, “centers on Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by possession since he was a child. Now an adult, he embarks on a spiritual journey to find answers but what he uncovers could mean the end of life on Earth as we know it.”
Kirkman said in a statement, ““Sharon Tal Yguado and the entire team at Fox International Channels have been instrumental in making The Walking Dead the worldwide success that it has become. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to continue working with this forward-thinking and extremely talented group.”
I’m not sure about you, but aren’t exorcism movies enough of a slow burn? I sure hope they don’t dial back the pace even more to make it fit for TV.
Have you ever wondered how those wacky Unitologists could continue their zealous fight for rebirth through the Marker when all around them their friends are being transformed into pairs of murderous crazy legs with waggly tentacles protruding from their midsections? I don’t know about you, but as soon as that started happening I would’ve started weighing the pros and cons of converting to a religion with a lower death rate. Today, Penny Arcade took on Dead Space 3 by asking that same question. It’s pretty great. You should most definitely head on over to their site and check it out.

Just about everyone knows how tough it is to break into the comics industry. It doesn’t make it any easier when the book you’ve got on your hands is full of blood, sex, gore, and focuses on people killing in the name of Christ. Writer Betvin Geant and artist Keith Draws have been trying to get their gorgeous book, Antichrist, off the ground without any help from publishers. Posting the almost-completed first issue on comic message boards, the creative team has been trying to find an audience for their controversial title. Betvin Geant took the time to chat with BD about Antichrist, offering some in-depth details about the project.
Geant and Draws have only just begun their foray into the comics industry, but they are looking for some help from the fans. This is a seriously incredible read, and in a world where Crossed is one of the hottest books on the market, nothing can be too controversial. Below you’ll find an interview with Geant, a link to their facebook page, a link to the first issue, and some teaser images. Let’s show them some love. Read on for the skinny…

Inspector Adye has recently slammed the book shut on his first of (hopefully) many “strange cases,” marking the release of this TPB. All four issues of The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde come together in a stellar collection from Dark Horse. I wasn’t able to fully invest in the series until its completion, so the trade gave me the perfect opportunity to see the entire story laid out at once. Read on for the skinny…
“The Box of Sorrows” continues to emanate ghastly sighs in the latest issue of Hellraiser, and, once again, they hum a haunting symphony of pain and lust. Kirsty continues her reign as High Priestess of the Configuration, and Captain Elliot Spencer continues to seek its destruction. Except, now, protocol has become obsolete, and even the highest levels of intuition won’t help either of them. Read on for the skinny…
This month marked the release of the third installment of Chris Roberson’s IDW series, Memorial. The book focuses around Em, a girl who awakes in the hospital remembering absolutely nothing from her past. After being drawn to a strange magic shop, her world is flipped completely upside-down as she discovers the existence of extraordinary lands that exist beyond the fabric of our world. Em quickly finds herself in the midst of a very strange battle between two metaphorical forces. Mixing together elements from children’s literature, science fiction, fantasy, and some horror, Memorial is a vast epic, and it’s only just beginning.
Chris Roberson took the time to sit down with BD to discuss the adventures of Em and friends, his inspiration for the series, the theme of memory, and he even offered his thoughts on Before Watchmen! Read on for the skinny…
Everyone knows the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but not everybody knows the story of Thomas Adye, the detective protagonist of Cole Haddon’s The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde… yet. But that will change very soon. Haddon’s creation brings together the infamous tale of Hyde, Jack the Ripper, and 1800′s style ecstasy, what more could you want?
In this interview Haddon dives into what makes his literary mashup of Victorian touchstones (plus some of his own inventions) a must-read graphic novel. Focusing on the philosophy that drives the novel, the inspired treatment of blood and color, and the evolution from screenplay to comic (and back again), this interview with Haddon will have those who have already read the book thumbing through it again, and sending others scurrying off to their local comic shop to pick up the trade that comes out on February 22nd from Dark Horse.

There is something that is always appealing about samurai and the point in Japan’s history that takes place immediately before guns took over. This is the setting for Dark Horse’s new comic titled, The Immortal, and it works perfectly. As with all good samurai stories lots of blood and guts are involved, as well as … heart eating demons? Ok, Heart eating demons may not be a staple in other samurai tales, but it works nicely for The Immortal.
Dark Horse Presents is simply one of the best anthologies around right now, offering wonderful comic snippets from an extremely diverse range of writers. There is something for everyone in each issue, and this month brings Hellboy into the action. Take a nice long gander at the preview ya jabroni!
Another brand new horror title is flying in your face from Dark Horse next week, The Immortal: Demon in the Blood. Dabbling in epic samurai action, this new title focuses on a warrior who loses it all and finds salvation in the ancient magic of tattoo art. sounds pretty darn good, right? The Immortal: Demon in the Blood is in fact an adaptation of the award winning Japanese novel, Ura-Enma by Fumi Nakamura. If you dig tattoo art and samurais (who doesn’t) then this little guy will have you jacked. Check the four-pager right here.
Stephen L’Heureux’s Solipsist Films has preemptively picked up the rights to the upcoming Top Cow graphic novel In the Dust, created by George Mahaffey and Christian Duce, with Mahaffey penning the adaptation, writes Heat Vision.
“The story is set against the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, when “black blizzards” obscured the Midwest and prairies.

The agent is forced to team up with remnants of Al Capone’s gang to save Chicago when the vampires turn their attention to the Windy City.”

Now that I finally went broke and bought myself an iPad, reading comic books is once again the priority in my life (seriously, it’s amazing).
Making it’s debut at this weekend’s New York Comic-Con is Mondo artist James Flames’ comic book prequel to The Divide, Xavier Gens’ apocalyptic tale exploding into theaters January 13 from Anchor Bay. The film will be screening at NYCC this weekend and in honor of the event said comic will be available exclusively at Anchor Bay’s Comic Con booth, #430.
Inside you’ll find an exclusive look at pages 12 and 13 from the comic, which are actually kind of a spoiler for those of you looking forward to the film. Personally, having seen it, I’m DYING to know the origin behind these “specimens”. The cover art is also included.

Comic book writer Brian Wood updated his blog this week regarding television a adaptation of his Vertigo comic series “DMZ,” which is set in the near future, where a second civil war has turned the island of Manhattan into a demilitarized zone, caught between forces of the United States of America and secessionist “Free States.” It has apparently been scrapped:
“We also had a near miss with setting DMZ up as a television show, at a verrrry respectable network, and its a bit crushing. I had hoped the whole new “DC Entertainment” meant they’d be better about this sort of thing… and this deal seemed like a gift from heaven… but apparently not.
Here is an appropriate bit of art (leo fernandez, the plague widow)”
Warner Bros. is diving into the deep pool of the vampire genre, picking up Undying Love, a comic book mini-series published by Image Comics, reports Heat Vision.
Created by Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman, love mixes up the traditional vampire lore with Chinese monster myths as well as the Hong Kong action genre.
“The story centers on an ex-soldier who falls for a girl that happens to be a vampire. The only way the two can be together is if the man takes on the vampire who created her, which also means fighting an army of monsters in the Hong Kong underworld.” Sounds like a horror version of “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” meets John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China.
Coker and Freedman will write the script.
