After the success of the first two installments of what would soon become one of the longest running franchises in Japanese film, the third movie directed by Tokuzo Tanaka finally demonstrated the belief of the producers in the potential of this character and the stories which could be told with Zatoichi in the epicenter. The fact that “New Tale of Zatoichi” is shot in color was one of the many indicators, as author Scott Morse points out in his commentary for the release of the films by Criterion, that Daei had big plans for the character and realized what kind of stories could be told with the blind masseur who had become so popular in so little time, to some extent thanks to the performance by actor Shintaro Katsu.
At the beginning of the film, we find Zatoichi (Shintaro Katsu) on the road again. After the killing...

Bone: Out from Boneville Tribute Edition
By Jeff Smith
192 ages, Scholastic Graphix, $14.95
Bone is a phenomenon that just keeps growing, it seems. Jeff Smith’s self-published debuted in 1991 and charmed readers who discovered the black and white fantasy. However, he found a brand new audience when Scholastic added the series, in color for the first time, to their Graphix imprint. There now are the nine volumes, Rose (with art by Charles Vess), Tall Tales, Bone Handbook and three illustrated prose novels from Tom Sniegoski.
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of this incredibly successful partnership, Scholastic is releasing next week a hardcover Tribute Edition of volume one. The complete, still-charming is on hand but there is also additional material. We start with the 10-page poem “An Ode to Quiche”, written by and critiqued by the monsters who plague the fellow from Boneville. There are nine pinups culled from the other...

Dark Horse Comics Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie provided us with another guest interview this week in which he chats with the incomparable Steve Niles, horror writer extraordinaire.
Scott Allie: Your 30 Days of Night, which had its tenth anniversary this year, is widely credited as responsible for the resurgence of horror comics in the last decade. What do you think of where horror comics have gone since the first 30 Days of Night?
Steve Niles (pictured above): It’s very nice people think Ben Templesmith and I had the slightest thing to do with horror becoming a stable comic genre. There was a great shift that happened. Horror comics went from EC tributes to having their own spotlight. I hope it happens to other genres in comics. Right now we have many great horror comics out there, from Hellboy to Fatale to Revival. Even the horror titles from Marvel/DC have gotten pretty great.

Dark Horse Comics has announced Criminal Macabre: The Iron Spirit. Creator Steve Niles will return to the property alongside artist Scott Morse. Intended as an ideal 'jumping on' point for new readers, the hardcover graphic novel continues the adventures of monster hunter Cal McDonald as he explores an underground military complex in which Us soldiers were subjected to weird and horrifying experiments. "Iron Spirit combines all of my favorite things. I wrote it as prose and handed it to Scott Morse, and now Dark Horse is publishing it," said Niles. "I think readers (more)...

Jennifer Yuh Nelson's "Kung Fu Panda 2" dominated the Annie Awards nominations, but the International Animated Film Society decided to give its highest honor -- the Best Animated Feature award -- to Gore Verbinski's "Rango." Both films are from DreamWorks Animation and they still have to duke it out at the upcoming Oscars in the Best Animated Feature Film category.
Besides the Best Animated trophy, "Rango" also collected awards for Best Editing and Writing. But Nelson, the first woman to direct a feature film animation from a major Hollywood production company, won the Directing in a Feature Production award! Yay! (Check out my interview with Jennifer Yuh Nelson for "Kung Fu Panda 2" right here)

I'm a huge fan of animation, animated films are getting better and better. Not only is the look and animation getting ridiculously awesome, but I find that many of these animated films actually have incredibly good stories. Not all of them are good though, for example, Cars 2 and Rio sucked. It will be interesting to see who ends up taking home the awards this year. Out of the movies on the list that I've seen and liked we have Puss in Boots, Rango and Kung Fu Panda 2. I guess it's no surprises that Kung Fu Panda 2 is leading the nominations with 9. Check out the list and let us know what your favorite animated movies of the year are!

I don't put much stock in the Annie Awards and neither does Disney after withdrawing from the International Animated Film Society, Asifa-Hollywood back in 2010. I have personally never found them to be a good judge of quality and as such don't pay them any particular attention, though I will pass along the information as they have announced their 2011 nominees with Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda 2 leading the way with 12 nominations, followed by Puss in Boots and Rango each with nine. Of course, while Disney has withdrawn from the Annies that doesn't mean they aren't considered for the awards as Cars 2, Gnomeo and Juliet and Winnie the Pooh are among the nominees. Last year How to Train Your Dragon reigned supreme over Toy Story 3 and I wouldn't be surprised to see Kung Fu Panda 2 take home plenty of hardware, following in the footsteps of its predecessor, which beat out...

Approaching the front steps are little tables where spirited debate is taking place, in the workshop area David Mack (Kabuki), Steve Leialoha (Fables), Dave Crosland amongst others are sketching live models on drawing easels. Earlier in the evening Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and Pixar artist Scott Morse (Strange Science Fantasy) put a comic together in two hours. Guitarist Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman) later came by with his guitar for an impromptu concert. With three more days of Comic-Con International remaining, who knows what else Trickster will inspire? Across Harbor Drive and the train tracks in front of the convention center, the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center has been converted into a place where people who love comics, and more importantly, creator-owned comics, can gather to take creative workshops, buy works from a sampling of the industry’s best, and grab a cocktail or...

Tired of watching the Hollywood machine engulf the San Diego Comic-Con, two Pixar artists have taken matters into their own hands and opened Trickster, an enclave for comic book fans, right across the street from the convention center.
Whatever you do, don't call them Slamdance for Comic-Con.
After years of watching the Hollywood machine slowly engulf the San Diego Comic-Con, Pixar story artists Scott Morse and Ted Mathot this year have staked out a creators' enclave across the street from the convention center.
Trickster is a combination bar/store/gallery/symposia happening through Sunday at the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center, offering creator-owned products and a hangout for fans to more intimately engage with comic writers and artists about their craft.
"People created Slamdance because they couldn't get into Sundance," says Morse, also an Eisner-winning graphic novelist currently promoting Crime & Terror, published through his imprint, Red Window. "We're very much a part of Comic-Con.

Here's a very cool collection of Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Geek Art from artist Scott Morse. Morse shares a blog with artist Skottie Young, and they both have created some really cool stuff. You should check it out!
Over on the far side of Hoth there lived another Wampa, who discovered one of the other Imperial Probe Droids, and it was love at first sight. I like thinking of this guy as a kind of snowy Totoro. The probot doesn't like the thought of him at all.
I love how dog-like these things are begging to be. And I love the idea of Snow Troopers being hurtled through the air.
You know the rebels took these bad boys out for races. Han always won.
One of my favorite things about Chewie is how articulate his is with huge hairy mitts. I figure he was into model building as a hobby,...

With all the interest in Norse sagas because of that movie opening today, we would be remiss if we didn’t remind you about you Hammer Of The Gods, the series from Michael Avon Oeming (Powers) and Mark Wheatley (Ez Street)!
This is the saga of Modi, a young Viking who was given amazing powers from the Norse Gods, literally carrying the power of Mjollnir, the hammer of Thorr… and a destiny to shake the world.
In the original 2004 graphic novel (which was recently reprinted by ComicMix and Idw, and is available for sale now) Modi came to terms with his strengths and weaknesses, fell in love with the Valkyrie, Skogul, and became a hero. As the new series starts, Odin, the king of the Gods, decides to peek in on the world of men. He travels to China, and soon Modi and his men must follow.

All we’re getting a cover, but it should be enough to whet the appetite of any crime fiction fan. Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre) and Scott Morse (Strange Science Theater, Pixar animator) are teaming up for Crime and Terror, a collaboration that will come out later in the year or early next year we presume but for those who can’t wait can track down an extremely limited preview called A Glimpse Of Crime And Terror this summer. It will be a 16-page story in a 9″ x 12″ board book with rounded corners. They are printing just 500 of these for the summer convention season so be sure to visit Scott’s blog and Steve Niles’ blog for more information. Below is a cover of the preview board book.

Two new movies dominated discussion in the Twitter Report feed this morning, and the verdicts varied. While the new "Captain America: The First Avenger" trailer attracted scads of exclamation marks about its cast and teases, Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch," meanwhile, has folks like Brian Michael Bendis and Skottie Young a little more wary, and a couple of micro-reviews that showed up were even less friendly.
On a personal note, all the film has to do for me is be as good as or better than Rob Bowman's "Reign of Fire." If Snyder does that much, I'll be fine.
Elsewhere, Mark Millar mentioned that he's got yet another film project in the works, bringing his Millarworld slate up to five by his count. Place your bets on what it might be and see if you're on the same page as Dave Gibbons and Kevin Maguire about Chris Evans down below.

This past weekend saw the All Tomorrow’s Parties music and film festival head up to Monticello, New York. Criterion alum, Jim Jarmusch, curated the music for the festival, which saw the likes of Sonic Youth, Iggy and the Stooges, and Explosions In The Sky take the various stages. If you had some down time between bands, you could spend some time watching 22 films that Criterion brought with them for the festival.
As we’ve previously highlighted, Criterion commissioned several independent comic book artists to create movie posters for all of the films. We’ve already shown you the posters for Brute Force, Touchez Pas Au Grisbi, and Night of the Hunter, and have been eagerly awaiting some images of the various other posters.
Today on their Facebook page, Criterion took a snapshot of the entire line-up, which I’m embedding below:

Okay, so maybe a more accurate title would have been Pre-Order this, but if you're a fan of Pixar and the artists behind the name, then you might want to head over to Amazon to place your order for the Ancient Book of Sex and Science.
