Horror icons Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson are continuing Mary Shelley’s monster masterpiece, Frankenstein (or The Modern Prometheus). Character continuations always give rise to skepticism (Before Watchmen), especially when they take on such prolific characters. However, Frankenstein Alive, Alive! looks to honor the character and his legend, rather than tear it apart. Wrightson illustrated the original Shelley story in 1983, and it’s been considered one of the best illustrated works in horror since. Looking at the preview, you’ll see that the artwork alone makes this book worth the cover price. READ MORE

Reno may be the “Biggest Little City in the World,” but when a “Peace Bomb” nuclear test goes awry in the Nevada desert and turns most of the population into bloodthirsty zombies, the gambling Mecca becomes the biggest zombieland of all time in the highly popular apocalyptic thriller Steve Niles’ Remains.

On July 10, 2012, Shout! Factory will unleash the UNCUT edition Blu-ray and DVD of Steve Niles’ Remains, jam-packed with special bonus content that includes audio commentary, the short film prequel Remains: Road to Reno, bloopers, trailers, Comic-Con teaser, and more!

Based on the highly acclaimed IDW Publishing graphic novel written by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), Steve Niles’ “‘Remains’ is set in a chilling postapocalyptic Reno, Nevada, and follows the survivors of a bizarre accident that reduced most of the world’s population to zombies. The group takes refuge in a vacant casino and fights a losing battle against the undead, who grow steadily stronger, smarter and more aggressive by the minute. The movie stars Grant Bowler (Killer Elite, True Blood), Lance Reddick (Fringe, Lost, The Wire), Miko Hughes (Pet Sematary), Evalena Marie (Are We There Yet?), Tawny Cypress (Rescue Me, Heroes) and Anthony Marks.” READ MORE

Premiering this fall is the John Doolan-penned adaptation of Steve Niles’ Remains, which was originally a five-issue comic series IDW put out back in 2004 (I think I have the trade paperback floating around here somewhere…).

The flick, which will air on Chiller, was directed by Colin Theys and tells the story of a blackjack dealer and exotic dancer who survive a nuclear accident that turns everyone else into zombies.

I can’t remember much about it aside from the basic premise, but one would have to assume they’re not the last people on earth considering Kieron Dwyer’s Comic-Con poster features more than a few hard-boiled characters on it. Check past the break for the new art, which you’ll presumably be able to grab next week if you’re heading out to San Diego.

After years of disappointing to average visitations to the universe of macabre maestro Steve Niles’ (“CRIMINAL MACABRE”) “30 DAYS OF NIGHT” by a plethora of other writers and artists, this October the scribe will be returning to the house that he built with an all new monthly ongoing series from IDW PUBLISHING! The series will be just in time for Halloween, and below you can get all the details and the first screenshot for the cover art…

WRITTEN BY: Steve Niles
ILLUSTRATIONS BY: Sam Kieth
VARIANT COVER BY: Fiona Staples

“This terrifying new tale begins when a letter from Barrow, Alaska, carries a cryptic warning to a young, curious woman, leading her down a rabbit hole and face-to-face with her desires… and likely her demise. Elsewhere in Los Angeles, a vampire resurrection ignites, which could threaten the very way of life of all mankind.

There will also be vampire plush dolls.”

At the end of 2011 it might be fair to say that there isn’t any other publisher who will have done more to put themselves ahead of the game and take themselves to the next level than Dark Horse Comics. The publisher has made great strides these past few months, and we are now only halfway through the year. With a rejuvenated relationship with superstar Joss Whedon (“BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER”, “ANGEL”), the return of “CRIMINAL MACABRE” and “THE GOON”, and a new movie deal for Evan Dorkin’s “BEASTS OF BURDEN”, things couldn’t be much better for the company. Another of those bright spots has been the new and improved “DARK HORSE PRESENTS” monthly, and beyond the break you can check out a 3 page preview of the series’ fourth ish before it hits stands in September.

Jay Russell will helm the horror pic based on the graphic novels by Steven Niles, with Osment playing the role of Victor Frankenstein, a college student experimenting with reversing death.

As previously reported, Guns `n’ Roses lead guitarist Slash will produce with Michael Williams and Rob Eric through Slasher Films.

Back before Steve Niles (“30 DAYS OF NIGHT”, “CRIMINAL MACABRE”) was a household name (This was back in 2004 kiddos) for anyone who reads comic books, the scribe was writing a little zombie epic by the name of “REMAINS”. The series has long since been out of print, but this August IDW will be resurrecting the story for an all new collected edition. The story will clock in at 116 pages of undead fun, and below you can brush up on the details.

WRITTEN BY: Steve Niles
ILLUSTRATIONS AND COVERS BY: Kieron Dwyer.

“Back in print! When the world goes mad, a blackjack dealer and an exotic dancer are mysteriously spared. But now they’re trapped in Reno, surrounded by a veritable army of the undead — and with no idea what might wait for them beyond the city limits if they can escape. Are they the last man and woman on Earth? And if so, how long can they last?”

The book pairs the writing duo together after their very successful run on “DEAD, SHE SAID”, and thus far there is no news on when the book will be seeing release.

As a journalist, when you are going into an interview you usually have the same sort of concerns, worries, and jitters that anyone would (Yes, even your fearless Graphic Content Editor In Chief). Normally, they are never of any true relevancy, and in the end the paranoia of a journalist is his greatest foe. However, rarely do you get to sit down and do an interview when you know that it will go smoothly, and be a great read. Luckily, that is the case with the fantastic Brea Grant (“HEROES”, “HALLOWEEN II”, Writer – “WE WILL BURY YOU”) who is once again stepping into the comic book industry with her newest series based off of the ubber hit, cult phenomena, Suicide Girls.com. The series once again pairs the scribe with publisher IDW, and is a great departure from her last foray into the illustrated realm when she brought us the four part zombie epic, “WE WILL BURY YOU”. Full of beautiful women, violence, explosions, and enough raw sex appeal to solve the national fuel crisis, “SUICIDE GIRLS” has the innate to do what most books of its ilk can’t — succeed. Brea was kind enough to sit down and talk with me once again about the series, working with fellow writers Steve Niles (“30 DAYS OF NIGHT”, “CRIMINAL MACABRE”) and Missy Suicide (President of Suicide Girls), as well as the continuing clash of alternative lifestyles and the general public.
