A Brief Intermission

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

It has been one week since Comic Artist Mike Wieringo passed away. I’ve read quite a few books Mike had drawn, pretty much all but his creator owned work, Tellos. Whenever he came onto a book I was already reading, I knew I was in for a treat. Please take a second, minute, or hour out of your day, and read some of the amazing eulogies over at Newsarama.com. His art will be missed, and for anyone that knew him, the man will be missed 20 times more.

Rest in Peace, ‘Ringo.

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

It was an amazing weekend, folks. Wizard World Chicago 2007 proved to be one of the best pop culture conventions of 2007. We had the pleasure to sit in on the Dark Knight panel and talk with a host of notable comics super-stars. This week, we’ll be bringing you a variety of top-notch pocketcasts featuring interviews with a variety of folk from the comics and video game industries.

One of the highlights of the weekend for us was our time spent with Mr. Michael Madsen. Michael is a acting veteran with a list of credits that are simply staggering. From Sin City and Reservoir Dogs, to Grand Theft Auto III, he’s done it all. Check out this Shots in the Dark EXCLUSIVE interview where Michael talks about his newest project, Shifter, coming soon from Fangoria Comics. Get it now, while its hot!
