Comic Review: Baltimore: The Curse Bells #2 Posted: 14 Sep 2011 06:09 AM PDT Baltimore: The Curse Bells #2 Written by Christopher Golden, Mike Mignola Art by Ben Stenbeck Colors by Dave Steward Letters by Clem Robins Cover by Mike Mignola with Dave Stewart Dark Horse Comics Release date: September 14, 2011 Price: $3.50 The battle between Lord Henry Baltimore and the creatures of evil continues. In Baltimore: The Curse Bells #2, Lord Henry Baltimore continues his search for the vampire that ultimately ruined his life: the one-eyed vampire known as Haigus. While searching for Haigus, Baltimore and his new accomplice, Mr. Hodge, investigate a castle that may have evil inhabiting it. While searching the castle, Baltimore comes across a ritual involving a pregnant woman and evil has a plan to raise the dead [...]

eBook Deal: Keith Richards Autobiography ‘Life’ Posted: 14 Sep 2011 05:54 AM PDT The eBook deal of the day today for the Amazon Kindle is Life, the 2011 autobiography by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, for only $3.99 (that's 60% off the regular price of $9.99). Note, this deal is valid only for today, Wednesday, September 14, 2011, until midnight PST. If you'd like to own a physical copy of Life, the book is also available in paperback for $11.10 and hardcover for $17.85. Richards recently stated that there was talk of bringing his autobiography to the big screen. The guitarist has lived one wild life, so I can only imagine the kind of drug-filled stories of rock and roll excess that are recounted in his book. For under four bucks, I think it's worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of the Stones or would like to read about his journey in one of the most famous rock bands in the world since the 1960s [...]

Stallone Confirms Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Van Damme For ‘The Expendables 2′ Posted: 13 Sep 2011 10:53 PM PDT New and returning stars for The Expendables 2 have been rumored in and out for a while now, with high expectations for most of the cast to return, including Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who both had cameos in the first film. Now, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, star Sylvester Stallone has not only confirmed returning actors in Schwarzenegger and Willis—who are said to have much bigger parts in the sequel—but also the involvement of a couple of other major action movie stars who have also been whispered about recently: Jean–Claude Van Damme and the one and the only Chuck Norris. Stallone, who also wrote and directed the first movie, said of the announcement "We'll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one." Sly is passing up the added work this time around and only starring in the sequel, with Simon West (Con Air, The Mechanic) stepping into the director's chair. [...]

J.J. Abrams Officially On Board For ‘Star Trek 2′ Posted: 13 Sep 2011 10:05 PM PDT Well, it's about damn time. After months and months of speculation, director J.J. Abrams is now officially on board to helm the sequel to his hugely popular franchise restarter, Star Trek, according to Vulture. Star Trek 2 is reportedly already underway in the pre-production, with a script set to be handed in by the end of the month, finally getting in front of cameras come winter of this year [...]

DC Relaunch: New DC Comics (Week Three) Posted: 13 Sep 2011 08:59 PM PDT As most of you may know by now, DC Comics is relaunching their entire line of comics this Fall alongside a day and date digital comics initiative. What you might not know, however, is that it all started two weeks ago with the releases of the last issue of DC's summer event Flashpoint, and the beginning of the new universe with Justice League #1. This Wednesday is the second big week of releases. I'm picking up a lot of these books, and there are still a lot of books to look forward to in these upcoming weeks, as well as plenty that you and I will probably want to stay away from for varying reasons. So, in the order of kindness and assignments from my editor, I will be breaking down each title with their creators, what they're about, and what you can expect from each of the new books. And, guess what? I'm not in love with a lot of the decisions that they've made, so this should be fun! Every Tuesday through the end of September, I will be writing another installment so you know when you can get yourself to the store, or to your mobile app, and purchase your new #1s from DC Comics! Also, it's worth noting, dear reader, that since you're coming to the game a little late, you can't be guaranteed an issue at the comic book store, so call ahead to see if they have it. Or if you go the store and they don't have any copies left of these DC books, you could always buy an indie comic like 27 The Second Set, Baltimore: The Curse Bells, Pigs, and Moon Girl, which all come out this week, coincidentally. There's more to comics than just superheroes from DC and Marvel, you know? But that's probably why you're here, and now that I've gotten the indie comics alternative plug out of the way, let's talk about the universe that I'd rather live in, the DC Universe! [...]

Comic Review: Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse: Epitaphs #3 Posted: 13 Sep 2011 08:24 PM PDT Joss Whedon's Dollhouse Epitaphs #3 Written by Andrew Chambliss, Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen Art by Phil Noto Dark Horse Comics Release Date: September 14, 2011 Cover Price: $3.50 I've only ever watched the first season of the show Dollhouse produced by Joss Whedon and starring frequent collaborator (and overall kickass chick) Eliza Dushku, who starts as Echo, one of the "dolls" in a facility that programs applicants to take on a different identity for each assignment that they're called to do. I thought the show had a decent concept, especially as some of the "dolls" became more suspicious of the facility and programmers, especially Echo. With that in mind, I thought the graphic novel might have an interesting storyline, especially since some graphic novel adaptations of television shows, like Dark Horse's Buffy comics, offer some more intriguing takes on things the show couldn't necessarily execute [...]

Interview: Brandon Jerwa Kickstarting ‘Untold Tales of The Comic Industry’ Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:46 PM PDT Recently, Kickstarter has seen many a project. The site has become nearly overcrowded with creative people putting out their truly unique ideas in varying levels of quality and originality. Some are more interesting that others, and when I came across Brandon Jerwa's project about shooting a documentary that focused on the creator's side of the comic book industry, believe me, it caught my interest. It caught my interest so much so that we felt like we would be doing a disservice to him and his fellow creators as well as the Geeks of Doom readership if we didn't try to shine some light on his truly amazing project. Brandon Jerwa is a comic book writer with credits to his name like G.I. Joe, Xena/Army of Darkness, Battlestar Galactica, The Shield, and many more. He's using his connections within the industry, and experience as a creator in the unique comic book business to bring to us an intriguing look into a side of the comic book world that we normally don't see as fans. Luckily, I had the chance to get in contact with Brandon and discuss some of the details about his upcoming Kickstarter project, when we can expect to see a final product, and who all is involved. The interview follows here below. But, before we get to that, for your convenience, we've embed the trailer for the project below the interview. So, if you're interested in the project and want to check out some more of the details not covered in the interview and possible throw out a donation, make sure to go here and here to do so [...]

Watch Now: Full Trailer For ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ Posted: 13 Sep 2011 04:31 PM PDT A few days ago, you got to see a 15-second sneak peek for the The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 theatrical trailer. Changes are, if you're a fan of the series, you were aching for more. Well, ache no more! The full trailer is finally here and you can watch it in full right here below. Also, Summit Entertainment released a new image from the film, which you can see at top (click for larger view). It's another Bella and Edward honeymoon shot. Now, I saw the footage at San Diego Comic-Con of Bella getting into that bathrobe and I can tell you, she does A LOT of prepping to get ready for her sexy time with Edward (teeth brushing, hair combing, leg shaving - although I still don't understand why she's shaving her legs on her wedding night, wouldn't she have done this in the morning before the wedding?) [...]

Watch Now: Audience Reaction To John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ Posted: 13 Sep 2011 04:06 PM PDT Bloody-Disgusting has posted a video that has been making the rounds online recently. The video plays a clip from the ending to the original 1978 version of John Carpenter's Halloween complete with authentic audience reaction that was recorded at the time of the film's theatrical release. You can watch the video below this article. The video is not a perfect match of image and sound because the timing of some of the audience sounds is obviously off, but it still remains a fascinating look at what it must have been like to be there when Carpenter's groundbreaking horror classic first took the movie-going world by storm [...]

Comic Review: Irredeemable #29 Posted: 13 Sep 2011 02:00 PM PDT Irredeemable #29 Written by Mark Waid Art by Eduardo Barreto, Diego Barreto Covers by Trevor Hairsine, Eduardo Barreto BOOM! Studios Release Date: September 7, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 What if a Superman-like hero turned against the world and thought only of himself and started causing mayhem and death and destruction? That is the world Mark Waid creates in his series Irredeemable. Irredeemable #29 picks up when the Plutonian comes back to Earth after being imprisoned on an alien world and then imprisoned in an insane asylum that is in a star. Plutonian arrives with his new alien allies and starts wreaking havoc once again on the Earth. Plutonian captures the members of the hero Survivor's team and takes them to the Moon and starts killing them one by one. We also see the President of the United States in a meeting with a representative from Japan who offers the U.S. a deal that will reduce the world's population by one-third [...]

Check Out These Cenobites Designs From The On-Hold ‘Hellraiser’ Remake Posted: 13 Sep 2011 01:00 PM PDT The Hellraiser remake that has been gestating for years at Dimension Films has once again hit a roadblock. It was recently revealed that the powers that be at the studio have put the project on hold for the time being and that Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer, the director and writer (respectively) who had produced several different script drafts during their time working on the remake, were no longer on the project. Gary J. Tunnicliffe, the prolific special effects makeup artist who had worked on nearly every Hellraiser sequel made since 1992's Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth as well as many of Dimension's direct-to-video genre offerings among others, was given the job of redesigning the series' iconic monsters the Cenobites at his company Two Hours in the Dark. He also penned the script for the latest DTV Hellraiser sequel Revelations, which recently had a trailer released that drew strongly negative reactions from the horror fan community, and that's putting it mildly. (You can read about that HERE .) It's clear that Revelations was put together in a hurry so that Dimension wouldn't lose the Hellraiser rights before they could get the sequel into theaters [...]

Comic Review: Jennifer Blood #4 Posted: 13 Sep 2011 12:00 PM PDT Jennifer Blood #4 Written by Garth Ennis Art by Marcos Marz, Kewber Baal Letters by Rob Steen Colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr. Covers by (A) Tim Bradstreet, (B) Jonathan Lau, (C) Ale Garza, (D) Johnny Desjardins Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: September 7, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 Writer Garth Ennis has a history of creating characters who like to get violent from time to time, and his new series, Jennifer Blood features just such a character. Jennifer Blood is a housewife by day and a killer by night, hunting down mobsters and other criminals and dispatching them with brutal efficiency. The series has got all of Ennis' trademark outlandish characters and some of the old ultra-violence. From what I've read, it seems like a fun series with tons of action. In previous issues of the series, Jennifer Blood has made a name for herself and has attracted the wrong kind of attention. Now someone has hired a team of killers to take Jennifer out. The killers are a team of young girls who act like every anime schoolgirl ninja stereotype, complete with broken English and inappropriate laughing. Jennifer has a plan though and isn't going to let herself be taken out by a bunch of clichés [...]

‘Batman: Arkham City’ Soundtrack Details Surface Posted: 13 Sep 2011 11:15 AM PDT Last week Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, WaterTower Music, and DC Entertainment announced the soundtrack for Batman: Arkham City, the highly anticipated follow up to the immensely popular 2009 Batman: Arkham Asylum video game, will be released on October 4, just two weeks before the North American release of the game. Soundtracks to video games have never really been that common with the exception of a handful of huge franchises, so this was a bit of a surprise for me when I saw the news. And what surprised me even more was the soundtrack description and track listing. In keeping with tradition of Batman soundtracks (1989-1997), the soundtrack to Batman: Arkham City boasts brand new music for a wide variety of artists whose work is either inspired by the game or Batman in general. Music about Batman from established artists? That's the best possible scenario that can be imagined. But for me, it gets better [...]
