Hello readers, I’d like to announce a comic book I’m planning to publish.

Set in the near future, Wicked Game is the story of David and Kristina and their quest to rescue Kristina’s sister from human traffickers.

A cross between Taken and Blade Runner, Wicked Game is a Science-Fiction/Film Noir ballad sung to the tune of Chris Issak’s classic song that takes the reader deep into a world of manipulation, vice, and violence. It’s the perfect comic book to hide from your parents.

Joining me on the art front is Roderic Rodriguez. Roderic’s work has appeared in Zenoscope’s Grimm Fairy Tales along with several independent titles. He’s called Wicked Game is the “best work I’ve done in comics” and if the sample above is any indication, the best is yet to come.

For now, here’s a glimpse at the cover but be sure to keep checking this page for more news, images, and information on how to order the book. It’s going to be a fun ride.

Founded by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion, Epitaph Records), and Matt Pizzolo (HALO-8), Black Mask Studios has made publishing transgressive comic books their mission. One such book is Liberator.

 

Created by Matt Miner, a dedicated dog rescuer, and drawn by Javier Sanchez Aranda, Liberator is a hardline, vigilante, adventure about young people taking on dog fighting and animal abuse. So, how is it? Click below to find out.

Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie is one of the greatest movies ever made. Spider-Man, Batman Begins, Iron Man, and every other superhero movie have followed the blueprint it laid out. It’s heart and verisimilitude allowed the movie to stand the test of time. However, times change and you can’t keep the Man of Steel off the big screen forever. Bryan Singer attempted to resurrect the last son of Krypton in 2006’s Superman Returns. A noble effort, Superman Returns was undone by its slavish devotion to Richard Donner’s classic and a lack of action. Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) seeks to rectify this with Man of Steel. So, does it soar like Superman: The Movie or crash like Superman IV: The Quest for Peace? Click below to find out.
