Comic-Con 2012: This ‘Resident Evil 6’ Comic-Con Trailer Will Tickle Your Horror Bone
I didn’t succumb to getting Dragon’s Dogma so I could get my hands on the Resident Evil 6 demo. Do I regret it? You’re fucking right I do. But I’m glad I didn’t, so I can be all fresh and virginy for the games actual release. A new mash up trailer including some awesomeness from all 3 of the campaigns you can check out below. Resident Evil 6 comes out October 2nd on the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
