Great news, Anne Rice fans … today we learn that her classic novel Interview with the Vampire is being made into a graphic novel. The book has already been turned into a film (starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise) and a Broadway stage musical (which, sadly, didn’t live very long) so it seems perfectly natural for the story to made the transition to the comic book page. Rice herself is somewhat involved with the project. Click below to hear what she has to say about the Interview graphic novel and check out an illustration of the vampire child Claudia from the book.

Superman Renounces His US Citizenship In Action Comics #900

He Will Now Stand for Truth, Justice and the American Way and That's All!
Posted by: Trent on April 28, 2011| 10 Comments

Ever since his creation, the alien super man named Kal-El who crash landed on Earth in the comic book series Superman has always been a US citizen. His adoptive parents in Kansas instilled him a respect for “truth, justice and the American way”. But in Action Comics #900, Superman will denounce his US citizenship after butting heads with the US government. Altho all of this takes place in the fictional world of comic books, I think it’s still a story worth blogging about … Superman will no longer be American. Whoa! More »

‘Social Network’ Star Josh Pence Will Play Young Ra’s Al Ghul In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

Presumably, We'll Get to See His Head this Time
Posted by: Trent on April 10, 2011| Leave a comment

Josh Pence, who played Tyler Winklevoss in the Academy Award-winning film The Social Network, has been cast as the young Ra’s al Ghul in the upcoming new Batman sequel film The Dark Knight Rises. Now, you may not recognize Pence from The Social Network because only his body appeared in the film. Actor Armie Hammer‘s head was superimposed on Pence‘s body for all of the Winklevoss twin scenes. In The Dark Knight Rises, I’m assuming, Josh Pence‘s own head will be used in all of his scenes. More »
