#SDCC: POWELL AND HOTZ RETURN WITH
BILLY THE KID’S OLD TIMEY ODDITIES AND THE ORM OF LOCH NESS!
July 6, MILWAUKIE, OR—From the minds of Eric Powell (The Goon, Buzzard, Chimichanga) and Kyle Hotz (Buzzard, Zombie, The Hood, The Agency) comes the next arc in Billy the Kid’s wild adventures!
The
world believes the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid was killed by Pat
Garrett, but in reality the Kid is very much alive, the hired gun of
Fineas Sproule’s traveling spectacle of biological curiosities—or
“freaks,” as Billy calls them. In their latest adventure, Billy and crew
head to Loch Ness to rescue their lizard-skinned comrade Callahan from
the wrath of Count Dracula.
Praise for the work of Eric Powell and Kyle Hotz:
“At last, a lit-and-history riff to rival The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“If The Goon wasn’t enough evidence, Billy the Kid’s Old-Timey Oddities is Exhibit B in the case that something just ain’t right in Eric Powell’s head.”
—The Fourth Rail
Billy the Kid’s Old Timey Oddities and the Orm of Loch Ness is on sale October 17, 2012!

NEVSKY: A HERO OF THE PEOPLE panel unites film and comics at Comic-Con International 2012
Join Ben McCool, Gabriel Hardman, Scott Tuft, Ramon Perez and Steve Saffel as they discuss the new graphic novel and Sergei Eisenstein's classic film
New York, July 6th, 2012 – Comic-Con International is known as the crossroads of the comics and film mediums, and the new graphic novel NEVSKY: A Hero of the People, which debuts at this year's show, provides a perfect example of how the two mediums influence each other via the enduring vision of iconic Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein.
Join writer Ben McCool (Choker, Pigs), historian Steve Saffel (Spider-Man the Icon), writer/director Scott Tuft (Severed), storyboard artist Gabriel Hardman (Inception) and Eisner-nominated artist Ramon Perez (A Tale of Sand) as they talk about how storytelling techniques introduced by Eisenstein are not only reflected in the graphic novel, as visualized by artist Mario Guevara (Solomon Kane), but have influenced such artists as Frank Miller and Howard Chaykin.
What: HEROIC VISIONS: Sergei Eisenstein's NEVSKY form Screen to Panel
When: Saturday, July 14th, 4-5pm
Where: Room 23ABC
Pioneering filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein developed many storytelling techniques that revolutionized film and have influenced comics. The new graphic novel by Ben McCool and Mario Guevara based on his classic motion picture ALEXANDER NEVSKY not only presents a timeless story of heroic deeds but highlights the way film and comics interact and influence once another. Join our panel to explore how the making of NEVSKY the graphic novel is expanding the themes of Eisenstein's work while presenting a look at storytelling though the ages. The panel will include lots of AV elements including clips of the movie, the comic trailer and art from the book. Presented by RUSS Intellectual Properties and Trident Media Group
Hailed by the LA Times as "reminiscent of the majestic but reality-based imagery of Hal Foster’s “Prince Valiant” comic strip” the graphic novel NEVSKY: A HERO OF THE PEOPLE is a story of heroism and daring as the young Russian commander Alexander Nevsky must defend his country against the far better armed Teutonic Knights. As well as being an exciting, visually stunning tale in the spirit of Frank Miller’s 300, NEVSKY, which will be published by IDW on July 17th, is also notable as the adaptation of a beloved piece of filmmaking: the iconic genius of Sergei Eisenstein’s classic Russian film, Alexander Nevsky.
A trailer for the comic can be viewed here: http://nevskythegraphicnovel.com/2012/04/23/nevsky-a-hero-of-the-people-trailer-debuts/

TREASURY OF XXTH CENTURY MURDER LOVERS' LANE: The Hall-Mills Mystery
By Rick Geary
Reverend Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills take a stroll in the town’s park in the evening. Shots are heard. 2 days later, their bodies are found laying on the ground very neatly next to each other with her hand on his thigh, love letters strewn around them, the scarf on her neck covering up the deep bloody slit in it. Reverend Hall, himself married, was in an open secret of an affair with Mrs. Mills, a married woman of his choir.
The perfect ingredients for a juicy scandal and fascinating investigation which the nation’s press hungrily devours. Alas, no clues or evidence are sufficient to make an indictment stick.
Was it suicide? A jealous rival? The case reopens again 4 years later as new information is brought to light, indicting the reverend’s wife but she is an upstanding member of her community, denying to the last that her husband had any affair…

‘WALKING DEAD’ ARTIST CHARLIE ADLARD TO SIGN POSTER ART AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON
The Exhibit A Pictures triumvirate—Writer/Director Alexandre O. Philippe, Producer Kerry Deignan Roy, and Producer/DP Robert Muratore—teams up again with Editor Chad Herschberger and the multi award-winning post-production facility Milkhaus (Oscar winner SAVING FACE; Sundance winner CHASING ICE) to stamp their unique brand of entertainment and pop culture commentary on one of the most viral and enduring fan phenomena in recenthistory. This will also mark their first full-fledged collaboration with Geekscape’s own Jonathan London and Red Letter Media’s massively popular Mr. Plinkett—both of whom will contribute recurring, fictionalized segments to the film. In other words: expect plenty of fan service and gory surprises!

Romero has agreed to participate, and will be interviewed in Toronto in early August.
Principal photography for DOC OF THE DEAD will begin in the Fall of 2012, with key interviews/B-roll/fictionalized segments filmed by the Exhibit A crew, and additional segments concurrently produced by Geekscape and Red Letter Media.
