Black Dynamite Gets A Mini Series From IDW.. Watch Out Jive Turkeys !!!

You heard that right, all you kung-fu lovin' mofos... Black Dynamite is back, and he is doing it big! While we wait for director Scott Sanders and actor Michael Jai White to bring us another installment of the film franchise (rumor has it to be a ghetto western in the vein of Blazing Saddles) we have to make due with a 4 issue mini series from IDW. Following up the epic one shot graphic novel, Black Dynamite: Escape From Slave Island, we are getting a four issue limited series from writer Brian Ash, art by Ron Wimberley, and inks by the LEGENDARY Sal Buscema! The first issue hit stores this week, and hopefully the next three issues will be on time over the next three months (first issue Feb, followed by March, April and May). The comic is sure to continue the radical racial hi jinks and nonsense that the movie brought forth, and even kick it up a notch considering there is no limitations to budget in a comic book. In Slave Island BD had a fist fight with a SHARK... A GREAT WHITE SHARK!!! Now he takes on a villain by the name of Too Swole (really!). Can't wait to see what Ash and Wimberley have in store for my favorite anti-hero. Click here to order your copy on Amazon, or go to your local Mom & Pop comic store and pick your copy up!

'Monster & Madman' - A New Comic Series From Steve Niles x Damien Worm For IDW

One of my favorite comic writers is Steve Niles, especially due to his special work on the 30 Days of Night comics. That series, with its debut in 2002, ushered in a golden age of horror comics and made vampires in comics cool again. Niles has gone on to work on a slew of other things including Batman: Gotham After Midnight, Batman: Gotham City Line, DC Infinite: Strange Cargo, Simon Dark, The Creeper, and Criminal Macabre that I have absolutely loved, so when IDW issued a press release for his newest project I naturally got excited. It is called 'Monster & Madman' and features Frankenstein joining forces with the most famous serial killer in history, Jack the Ripper. Yup, that's right... Jack the Ripper and the original man made monster in a period piece. Penned by Niles. Drawn by Damien Worm. Good god... I for one can't wait. They book hits stands around March of 2014.

Frank Miller's Un-filmed 'Robocop' Script Gets A Comic Adaption

I love this new trend in comics. When a film is being developed it goes through many phases as a script. Characters develop, story lines change, and whole plot developments can be taken out or added in. Usually the film that ends up on the screen tends to be vastly different from the originally script ideas as it were written. So the big wigs at comic companies across the country have decided to dig out these original screenplays and produce a comic based on the original iterations of the characters... the versions that never actually ended up on a screen. Dark Horse has a Star Wars mini series coming that uses George Lucas's original script (the one with Luke Starkiller) in the works, and now BOOM! comics has an excellent idea to take the original Robocop script and adapt it into a comic. But one thing: THE ORIGINAL ROBOCOP 3 SCRIPT THAT IS BEING ADAPTED WAS WRITTEN BY FRANK MILLER!!!!! Yup, expect dark and gritty Detroit at its lowest in this one... and what a great idea! You got a comic writer god who was young and inexperienced at the time who probably turned in some twisted script to a studio that said "AWWW, HELL NOOOOO!"... and now we get to see it in all its glory on the pages of Robocop: Last Stand. This is doubly good, because we get another Robocop story (a familiar character) that tells a different version of the story and is quite original. It is not a sequel or add on... it is not overkill. It is what might have been, and that is quite intriguing to me. The book hits stands this week and is part of an 8 issue run... so stay tuned for more info in the months to come.
