This past weekend at C2E2 it was made official that the long rumored adaptation of the “HACK/SLASH” scribe’s “LOADED BIBLE” comic would be made into an illustrated film by Halo-8. While I was at the con I was able to catch up with Tim, and despite the interruption of pesky panels, we were able to sit and talk about all of his projects including “LOADED BIBLE”. Inside you can read what Tim had to say about the project in our exclusive one-on-one, and the creator even gives us some insight on what we might be able to expect from the voice casting! Read on for the skinny!

Here Is What The Crew Had To Say About The Project At C2E2…

“Pizzolo pointed out “this is a bit of an experiment to see if we can make an illustrated film from an existing comic or if it’ll just be a motion comic. It’s a nuanced difference, but it’s important to us. Tim completed three issues that were released by Image Comics before we joined forces with him for the the illustrated film, but in order to run feature length the film requires at least three more issues… so we’ll be working with Tim to design those new issues for the illustrated film as well as the comic. So it’ll be a fun experiment to see how all this shakes down.”


While we were at the C2E2 convention we were also able to catch up with the “LOADED BIBLE” scribe himself, Tim Seeley, regarding the project. Here is what he had to say…

“You know the thing about “GODKILLER” was that it was made for that so they had enough length for it to be a feature length film. You know 3 double sized issues of “LOADED BIBLE” would be about 60 minutes or so, not feature length, so Matt and i were talking…we need to put out another “LOADED BIBLE” book. So we’ll get another book out and that will be the last part of the feature story.”

As far as the blending of the comic and the illustrated film Tim had this to ad “We didn’t design it to be (an illustrated film). Ben is doing a project designed specifically for the format itself, and this we thought about doing it afterwords, so it will be a little bit of an experiment I think. You know I trust Matt though with what he’ll do.”

“I’m totally fascinated with how it will work out. It will be a learning experience for both of us. We may sit down and we may go ‘you know there’s still not enough content’ and maybe we will go ahead and do something new to make it work out. You know he’s a crazy bastard, he liked the idea of the book, and I really want to do an illustrated film film version of it. It’s not a type of story you’re ever going to see an actual movie made out of it. They’re just never going to make a movie about Jesus fighting vampires. This is a great way to do it and give it to a new audience without having to worry about how you are going to offend everybody.”

When asked about who might lend their voice talents to the project he laughed adding, “You know he threw some at me and I was like ‘really, you can get that, you can do that?!’ So I’m not sure, he doesn’t have anybody nailed down yet but he was talking about getting Jason Mewes which I think would be f***ing awesome! But yea that was one of the fun things kicking names back and forth.”

‘Witchblade’ is Getting Resurrected This Summer in New Comic Series from Top Cow and Image Comics

Witchblade, the popular comic series that initially ran from 1995 to 2015 and launched a TV series, is getting resurrected in a new comic series from Top Cow and Image Comics. It’s set to unleash heavy metal, black magic and blood this summer.

Look for the new Witchblade series to launch on July 17, 2024.

In Witchblade #1, “New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power, or will she be consumed by it?”

The series is penned by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and visualized by artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). The creative duo is working with original co-creator Marc Silvestri, who is the CEO of Top Cow Productions Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. They are set to reintroduce the series to Witchblade’s enduring fans with “a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that will hook new readers and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the 90’s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.”

Bennett said in a statement, “The ability to tell a ferocious story full of monsters, sexuality, vision, and history was irresistible.” She adds, “Our saga is sleek, vicious, ferocious, and has a lot to say about power in the 21st century and will be the first time that we are stopping the roller coaster to let more people on. I’ve loved Witchblade since I was a child, and there is truly no other heroine like Sara with such an iconic legacy and such a rich, brutal relationship to her own body.”

“The Witchblade universe is being modernized to reflect how Marguerite beautifully explores the extreme sides of Sara through memories, her personal thoughts, like desire and hunger, in her solitude and when she is possessed by the Witchblade. So, I had to visually intersect a noir True Detective-like world with a supernatural, horror world that is a fantastic mix between Berserk and Zodiac,” Cafaro stated.

Marc Silvestri notes, “This is brand new mythology around Sara, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and all the twists and turns. Discover Witchblade reimagined this summer, and join us as we bring all the fun of the 90s to the modern age and see how exciting comics can be. I can’t wait for you to read this new series.”
