Paul Pope for Warren Ellis: PSYCHENAUT
[Paul Pope’s submission to Warren Ellis’ Three Panels Open feature]
Peter Jackson REALLY wants to make ‘THE HOBBIT’ a trilogy. I sigh to myself.
I don’t blame Peter Jackson for wanting to make The Hobbit a trilogy. I mean, outside of the franchise, dude is pretty much saltine crackers at this point. I do, however, groan for the content.
Gearbox Software CEO: I can’t believe gaming industry hasn’t copied ‘BORDERLANDS’ yet.
Randy Pitchford is shocked that no one in the gaming industry has copied Borderlands yet. Now that you mention it, so am I. It’s like Diablo, only first-person stylee. It’s like Diablo III, but good. In fact, the sequel is my most desired title of the year. Get it! get it!
IMAGE publisher Eric Stephenson writing his own comic, ‘NOWHERE MEN.’ Hell yeah.
Eric Stephenson is taking time away from being the dopest voice in the biz and publisher of Image comics long enough to pen his own tale. Fuck yes. If his pontificating on the industry is any indication of his eloquence, this will be a jam.
Video: ‘SUPER MARIO BROS’ comes to life via 7,000 post-it notes. Not green; certainly awesome.
Goddamn! Super Mario Bros. brought to life courtesy of a real, real, real, real lot of post-it notes. Bravo.
GRANT MORRISON Leaving ‘ACTION COMICS’, BATMAN INC’, superhero comics in general in 2013.
Grant Morrison seems to be setting himself up for stepping out of the superhero game for a while. The good Scottish Alien Lad has announced that come 2013, he’s finishing up his work on Action, The Bat-Man Incorporation, and leaving the capes for the time being.
The NEXT METAL GEAR SOLID’S engine will be revealed AUGUST 30. Scissors, or something.
Hideo Kojima is almost ready to pull down the pants of the engine that’s going to power the next Metal Gear Solid. The good sir will be revealing the Fox Engine at an event on August 30. There’s no news if this same engine will be taught an algorithm to generate even more impressively complex, overly soggy philosophical ideas for the series’ narratives.
Scientists create ARTIFICIAL JELLYFISH from a RAT’S HEART. Yeah, science!
One day some brilliant biophysicist was hanging out at the New England Aquarium when he thought something I would have never dreamed. Dude said to himself, “I can build a jellyfish”, whereas usually I’m like “man…the fish, they like, swim. Really well.”
Russell Crowe wants to direct a BILL HICKS BIOPIC. This will be uh, interesting.
The William Hicks biopic is getting off the ground, apparently, and Crowe is aiming to direct it. I had no idea that Russell Crowe wanted to make a Bill Hicks movie, let alone that he was a fan of the mad genius.
Edgar Wright directing Sci-Fi flick ‘COLLIDER’ For Bad Robot. Lens flare celebration.
Dork alert! Here is a mash-up of two geek sacred cows, Edgar Wright and J.J. Abrams. The talented twosome are joining hands and singing out the tale of Collider.
