The Misfits walk among us
Channel 4’s digital channel E4 will be launching Misfits on Thursday 12th of November at 10pm. No, its not based around the life and times of the cult punk band (extra street cred points to you if you got that reference), its a new superhero series, with a group of youngsters who have all gained [...]

Chris Trevas, one of the official Star Wars artists, had a rather unusual wedding cake at his nuptials – Courtney Clark of Cake Nouveau made a special cake for him, a dead Tauntaun from The Empire Strikes Back, complete with comatose Luke Skywalker keeping warm inside!

Continue reading...Mark Millar at the Edinburgh Book Festival
20. October 2009
Top Scottish comics (and now movie) scribe Mark Millar made his first ever appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival in August and he seemed to enjoy the experience as much as the audience did (you can read my report here). Mark was on fine form talking with Scotland on Sunday’s Stuart Kelly (who’s also [...]

19. October 2009
The first few items to go along with James Cameron’s eagerly anticipated Avatar film have started to appear on our webstore (although with some the secrecy on the movie means we’re still waiting on final images for some) and on the companion books front they run from younger reader-friendly guides to the Art book, while [...]

18. October 2009
Jason’s delicious collection of short stories SHHH! has been animated, and rather nicely animated at that. Computer animation may not seem ideal for Jason’s stuff, but it works surprisingly well in these short clips. (Finally saw this via Drawn blog)

DoublePlusBon notifies us that the cartoon series that French animation studio Blue Spirit was producing for Canal+ is currently being aired.

15. October 2009
I totally missed hearing about this, but Geektown notes that a new series of Red Dwarf has been confirmed by cast member Robert Llewellyn on his regularly updated Twitter.

14. October 2009
According to The Hollywood Reporter director Bryan Singer is considering a return to Fox for another installment of the X-Men movies, which I’d imagine would be pretty much welcomed by fans.
