DC Advertising ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ GN On National TV

Well, DC is stepping up once again, delivering TV commercials for their adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
The graphic novel lands next week on Wednesday, November 7th in comic shops and bookstores. READ MORE

Review: ‘American Vampire’ Vol. 4
Wonderfully entertaining and amazingly action-packed, American Vampire Vol. 4 is the same gripping roller-coaster ride we’ve all come to expect from Scott Snyder. “American Vampire” offers all the action, suspense, and thrills you could ever hope for in a vampire tale. Snyder forgoes all vampirism cliches, yet he manages to keep the story deeply rooted in American history and traditional vampire lore. With “American Vampire” Vol. 4, Snyder and Albuquerque continue to bring bad boy vampire, Skinner Sweet, through various time periods. Rockabilly era skinner is one of Snyder’s best renditions yet.

[BD Interview] ‘The Exorcist’ Director William Friedkin On Avoiding Formula, And The Studios, In His New Movie ‘Killer Joe’
In theaters today from LD Entertainment is Killer Joe, an insanely fun and disturbing movie directed by the man behind The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorcerer, To Live And Die In LA and Bug – William Friedkin. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church and Gina Gershon and is based on a play by Pulitzer and Tony Award winner Tracy Letts.
I recently spoke with Friedkin about crafting Joe, his sixteenth film, and his decision to make it outside of the studio system. We also talk about the film business in general and which of today’s filmmakers he finds inspiring. Oh, and he also weighs in on the futility of even comparing movies like Citizen Kane and Vertigo. It’s a long interview (we even talk Near Dark) but, when you get a chance to speak to someone with this kind of body of work, you want to go for the big picture.
“When 22-year-old Chris (Emile Hirsch) finds himself in debt to a drug lord, he hires a hit man to dispatch his mother, whose $50,000 life insurance policy benefits his sister Dottie (Juno Temple). Chris finds Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a creepy, crazy Dallas cop who moonlights as a contract killer. When Chris can’t pay Joe upfront, Joe sets his sight on Dottie as collateral for the job. The contract killer and his hostage develop an unusual bond. Like from a modern-day, twisted fairy tale, “Killer Joe” Cooper becomes the prince to Dottie’s Cinderella.”
Killer Joe opens today in select cities. Head inside for the interview. Spoilers ahead. READ MORE
Pick Of The Week: The New Deadwardians #1
The only thing I am more obsessed with than horror comics is Victorian literature, and when I first heard about the plans for Vertigo’s The New Deadwardians, I was more than eager for it to launch. Yes, it is another Vertigo title that features blood suckers and brain eaters, but if you’re thinking of passing this one just because it’s got zombies and vampires, you’d better think again. I’m just as sick of the zombie/vampire craze as the next dude, but The New Deadwardians raises the played out subgenre from the dead, and breathes new life into zombie literature. Not only does it offer hope for the undead subgenre, but it’s a fantastic book overall. Plus, any book that begins with a quote from Isaac Asimov is worthy in my books. Read on for the skinny…
Snyder Brings The ‘Lord Of Nightmares’ To ‘American Vampire’

We’re feeling a Nosferatu vibe going on, and we couldn’t be more excited for Snyder to further develop his vamp mythology. So prepare yourself for the five-issue mini-series Lord of Nightmares, heading your way in June.Read on for the skinny…

Both of writer Brian Wood’s critically acclaimed Vertigo books, DMZ and Northlanders, have been wrapped up, while Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera’s Scalped is drawing to a close as well. So what kind of fresh blood does Vertigo have waiting in the wings to help ease the pain of losing two of its flagship titles?

GRAPHIC CONTENT PICK OF THE WEEK: Lonmonster – ‘Return to Perdition’
The first crime movie I fell completely head-over-heals in love with was the Tom Hanks classic, Road To Perdition. When I saw this movie I was very young, not terribly into comics, and had never seen a proper crime film. Once I started reading comics seriously, I discovered that a graphic novel written by Max Allan Collins, a deity in the crime fiction world, inspired the Academy Award-winning film. This blew my mind. I got my mom to drive me drove as fast as she I could to the comic shop to pick up the novel. I read through this thing quicker than Kim Kardashian’s marriage, and then re-read it. To this day, it’s not only one of my favorite crime stories, but one of my top graphic novels. Okay, enough about my personal life…the just of my story is that the original Road to Perdition is an intelligent, gripping, and dark, depression-era noir story that is a feat in graphic storytelling. The long awaited new chapter in the Perdition series, Return to Perdition, finally hits stores this week (along with a re-releases of the original). Read on for the skinny…
COMICS TO FEAST ON: Week Of September 28th 2011
Well boils and ghouls, this is the final week of The New 52 #1s. It’s been a very exciting month and for the most part it’s been pretty easy to tell which of DC’s new titles will be sticking around. But, this is a big week for the “dark” releases! DC’s new books are selling like hot cakes (whatever that mean), so make a pull list if you don’t already have one!
Obviously there are loads of other comics coming out this week from other publishers, but in honor of such a milestone event, most of the books in this week’s COMICS TO FEAST ON are from DC’s New 52 lineup. Now I know you won’t be buying all 52 new series so let us know which books you can’t wait for!
With the ever-increasing number of books coming out between the tie-ins, the crossovers, and the new series, we’ve got to limit our list of comics for the week somehow. Rather than focus on every major comic hitting the shelves I’ll narrow it down to ten books that stand out from the rest. Whether you’ve been into comics since you were a young’un, or you’re new to the game, I’m here to help you decide which books to read. Read on for the skinny…
Vamp Hunting Continues This Week In ‘American Vampire: Survival Of The Fittest’
I finally figured out why “American Vampire” has been such a success. Scott Snyder is actually part an alien life form known for their ability to create stories that dumfound the human race. One day, he will consume us all, but not before he gives us a few more incredible comics. Last months issue of the “American Vampire” concluded the ‘Ghost War’ arc in a big way, leaving the future of the series open for just about anything. The Survival of the Fittest mini-series has lived up to the standards of the original and next week brings the second to last ish. Check this 4 page preview of “AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST” # 4. Read on for the skinny…
