Heat Vision has reported that Warner Bros. is looking for someone to possibly helm a Sandman television series.  Neil Gaiman’s beloved title, which brought a whole other demographic of readers to comic books, also inspired the launch of DC‘s Vertigo offshoot.  75 issues of the surreal series have been released since 1989, concentrating on the character Dream (Morpheus) and his six siblings the Endless (beings older and more powerful than gods).  Eric Kripke (creator of ‘The CW‘s ‘Supernatural‘) is rumored to be at the top of the studio’s list.  OK.  You will have a heck of a lot of angry fans if you dumb down and glam up something of this magnitude, guys.  Tread very, verrrrrry carefully.  Gaiman has also written Neverwhere, Mirrormask, Stardust, and most recently in mainstream comics, Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader? (which directly followed Batman: RIP).—ExSleepyInk

DC has been blowing Marvel out of the water with amazing back-to-back direct to video epics.  Let’s hope they keep it coming.  Don’t run out of steam now, guys!  Give us what we want; a rogue filled Batman: HUSH flick.  A true detective tale.  Beat a dead horse much, Chris?  Answer…yes!  —ExSleepyInk 

Even if your not a fan of the show, your definitely going to be a fan of the game. It’s an old fashion button mashing Beat ‘em up. And this is one of the most entertaining trailer, come on, batman is playing his own game.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold will be available for Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii on Sep 7, 2010.

When it comes to video game trailers, the more gamepaly the better. But if it’s void of gameplay, it better relay some information. A good example of this, are the Marvel vs. Capcom CG trailers, that reveal the playable characters.
That being said, every once in a while a nice artistic one come along; no real information, not very long, it just looks pretty and gets you ready for the game. And having the new single form Disturbed, ” Another Way To Die” off their upcoming album “Asylum” definitely sets the mood for what will hopefully be a good MK game, and it has been a long time.

Mortal Kombat will be out for PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 later this year.

I’m only going to post a few of these cool pics. There were like 20. I may inclined to put them in the gallery later.

With only a little over a month left until zero hour, I know everyone is gearing up for what should hopefully be the best NYCC to date!  If you’re like me, the tension is building.  Will you get the chance to chat up all your favorite creators?  Will you get all the sketches you’ve been dreaming of year round? (Better get there early–with enough money– if you want one from an artist like Brian Bolland, and be ready to possibly come back another day).  Are you going to shake hands with Bruce Campbell, or get a photo-0p with Katee Sackhoff?  It’s enough to keep you in a panic attack for days!  I know I’m already digging out all of the comics I want signed and writing myself a memo of all the artists I’m dying to have draw in my sketchpad.  I’d like you to be able to do the same, so I did some research.  Get a pen and paper ready!  Some of the keystone guests are Stan Lee and  John Romita Sr and Jr.  Others include Geoff Johns, Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee, David Finch, Brian Michael Bendis, J. Michael Straczynski, Adam, Andy, and Joe Kubert, Chris Claremont, Darwyn Cooke, Tony Daniel, Joe Quesada, Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Geof Darrow, Dan Didio, Matt Fraction, Adam Hughes, Mark Morales, Michael Golden, Bob Layton,  Dustin Nguyen, Greg Pak, Peter Tomasi, and much much more!  Be sure to also check out one of my best friends, David V Mammina, who will have a table showcasing his four novels (one of which I did some sketches for).  He is a dedicated writer of mostly dark fantasy, and a very humble guy.  We will be covering the event, so if you see our badges, come up and say hi.  We’d love to see you all!  The 2010 NYCC is October 8th through the 10th (That’s friday through sunday, folks!).  Below is a list of who you will find in my favorite place, Artist Alley.
