Batman And The Walking Dead Crossover
Apr 1st
Right on the heels of this weekend’s spectacular Walking Dead Season Finale, Image Comics and DC Comics announced a major company crossover, Batman and The Walking Dead! In the vein of Marvel’s Invincible/Spider-man crossover in Marvel Team-Up #14, Robert Kirkman will be writing a major crossover mini-series wherein Batman must go up against zombies in Gotham City. We first saw a hint of this with the above teaser at this weekend’s Emerald City Comic Con, but editors and creators on panel kept their lips tight (albeit smiling) about what it meant.

Bodhrán and Bones - The Music of Black Sails With Bear McCreary
Feb 8th
The third episode of Starz’s hit new pirate TV series, Black Sails, premieres tonight. If you’re at all like me, you’re already addicted to the show and its great opening theme song, created by famed composer Bear McCreary. You might be familiar with the talented composer’s works, as he’s provide the music for many great shows like Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Human Target, and Da Vinci’s Demons (for which he won an Emmy). The music for Black Sails really helps set the mood of the show, with the gritty pirates of an 18th century Caribbean. The music’s More >

Jan 17th
The second half of The Walking Dead season 4 begins airing on AMC February 9th. To help promote this, actors like Norman Reedus have been traveling around the world promoting the show for its international broadcaster, Fox. Apparently Fox determined this was the perfect time to help promote their new social media driven advertising campaign “#getFOXed.” How were they going to do this?

For that they turned to Nick Santonastasso, a 17-year old Walking Dead fan with a rare syndrome More >

Phantoms & Ghosts: A Rare Form Of Comics Variants
Feb 9th
Late last year 2 groups sprung almost out of thin air, producing rare and beautifully designed comic variants of indie Image titles for select comic shops around the US. Both groups had rather ghoulish names, the first being called Ghost Variants, with the other being referred to as Phantom Variants. Some discussion arouse about the two groups as winter of 2012 set in, but it mainly stayed in circles of hardcore variant collectors. Artist Skottie Young, however, has recently drawn many casual comic fans into collecting variants with his cute Marvel Now baby variants that are beloved by many and drawing More >
