Let’s take a peek at how the BBC’s Radio adaptation coped with the falling whale. It’s not surprising that this icon of geek culture has made it to ThinkGeek. Yes; in t-shirt form.

Dark Lady’s Chosen book trailer and teaser
Gail Martin and Circle of Seven Productions (cosproductions) are a web savvy bunch. This is a good thing as it’s helped Chronicles of the Necromancer get quite a bit of fan attention. First up we’ve a YouTube trailer but then we’ve got the published sneak peak at the first chapter of Dark Lady’s Chosen from […]
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter trailer
Some topics just go well together. Whoever put Abraham Lincoln together with Vampire Hunting should be bought a beer or two (and should perhaps lay off the drink). This trailer is exceptional as it’s the book trailer. The well-named Hatchette Book Group should be pleased with this one. Thre are rumours of a movie, though. […]
We Are The X-Men teaser
We Are The Watchmen – sorry, I mean – We Are The X-Men. It’s the blood on the logo that does it. I really did read this text as “We Are the Watchmen” when I first glanced at this in Google Reader. No. It’s X-Men. So what’s going on? My bet is an Avenger’s style […]

Why is Neverland […]

This is good news. I’m almost never at any comic shop. I’m certainly never able to go get a comic when I feel like reading one and we’re still waiting for Graphic.ly to get up to speed. In the mean time, TopCow; who manage WitchBlade, Wanted and Heroes star Ventimiglia’s new Berserker line, have joined […]
Graphic.ly grows, buys iFanBoy
Graphic.ly is making waves in the digital comic world. They’ve bought the popular community site iFanboy. This means that iFanboy will become a division of Graphic.ly and they’ll be integrating it into the iFanboy site. My real-life job tells me they’ll have a hurdle if they attempt to switch domains and, at the very least, […]

Author William King has signed a five figure book deal with Black Library, the Games Workshop imprint, for a trilogy based on the elf high brothers Tyrion and Teclis. The twins are powerful heroes; Prince Tyrion is exceptional with the blade and Teclis is a mage without equal. King’s trilogy will be set two hundred […]
Robot 13 issue #3 review
My first exposure to Robot 13 was due to the clever way it’s being published. It simply looks great on the iPhone and the Android. I’m fascinated by the changes that are coming to the publishing world and especially the digital aspect of it. I think there is a future in magazines (especially on a […]
