Dynamite Comics Announces 'The Art Of Dejah Thoris And The Worlds Of Mars' Collection

At the recent Baltimore Comic Con, Dynamite Comics announced the December release of 'The Art of Dejah Thoris and the Worlds of Mars', a hardcover collection featuring over 250 pages of full colour artwork from some of the finest illustrators of modern fantasy comics including Alex Ross, J Scott Campbell, Art Adams, Francesco Francavilla, Joe Jusko, Brandon Peterson, Jay Anacleto, Paul Renaud and Lucio Parrillo.

In hundreds of full-colour illustrations, the finest artists of modern fantasy have brought the dying world of Mars to life, depicting scenes of brutal conflict with alien beasts, quiet moments overlooking Martian wastes, and enticing visions of an exotic princess at her most intimate. 

This magnificent collection of illustrations include all cover artwork to date from Dynamite’s variety of Warlord of Mars-related comics, including 'Warlord of Mars', 'Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris', 'Warriors of Mars', 'Dejah Thoris and the White Apes of Mars', 'Warlord of Mars: Fall of Barsoom', and 'Dejah Thoris and the Green Men of Mars'.

Cool Art: 'Defending The Fantasy Genre With Terminal Intensity' by Sam Gilbey

'Defending The Fantasy Genre With Terminal Intensity' by Sam Gilbey is an awesome print  inspired by one of my all time favourite TV shows - 'Spaced' - and was part of Gallery1988's Official Edgar Wright Art Show, that ran from August 20 until September 7.

"My friends and I fell head over heels in love with Spaced when we first saw it on Channel 4 over a decade ago. The general predicament of the characters, the countless references to pop culture from our generation raised by VHS and Playstation, it was as if our own minds had somehow collectively made a sitcom without any of us knowing about it, and made it far more amazing than we ever could have imagined. To this day I don’t think I’ve connected with any television show in such a visceral way.

So, when I was invited to contribute to the exhibition, after already having created artworks inspired by Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim, it just felt like a good time to return to the seminal show. When I started to think about what to do, it became clear that all the main characters needed to be in there, and as many of the minor ones I could squeeze in too, so something rather epic began."

Happy Birthday Star Trek!

Created by Gene Roddenberry, 'Star Trek' was first broadcast on NBC on this day, September 8, back in 1966 with the episode 'The Man Trap'.

Despite NBC cancelling it after three seasons and 79 episodes later due to low ratings, 'Star Trek' has had a major influence on popular culture and when the show was broadcast in syndication during the 1970s it gained popularity and became the cult classic phenomenon we know of today.

Happy birthday 'Star Trek!

New Trailer For BBC's 'Atlantis'

Here's the new trailer for 'Atlantis', coming soon to BBC One this Autumn. This takes over what was the 'Merlin' time slot and should hopefully tide us over very nicely until the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary episode.

A fantasy drama set in a world of legendary heroes and mythical creatures. Far from home and desperate for answers, Jason washes up on the shores of an ancient land. A mysterious place; a world of bull leaping, of snake haired goddesses and of palaces so vast it was said they were built by giants – this is the city of Atlantis. Aided by his two new friends, Pythagoras and Hercules, Jason embarks on a voyage of discovery, and salvation, which sees him brush shoulders with Medusa, come face to face with the Minotaur and even do battle with the dead. Coming soon.

Cool Art: Glen Brogan's Art For Bottleneck Gallery's '3NES' Show

Here are Glen Brogan's pieces for Bottleneck Gallery's '3NES' art show which opens tonight in Brooklyn, New York. Each participating artist created work based on Nintendo classics 'Super Mario Bros', 'The Legend of Zelda', and 'Metroid'.

"My thoughts going into these pieces were that I wanted to stick closely to the original NES games, as opposed to branching out into subsequent games, and I wanted to base them around the female characters in each game. I also knew that I wanted to do some action scenes (which I haven't done recently,) and lately I've had an itch to draw a gnarly monster, so drawing Ganon was able to take care of that for me."

The show runs from September 6 until September 22 and each person who attends the show will also have a chance at winning a Nintendo Home Entertainment System along with games from each title. They will have a couple consoles up so you can relive some of those childhood memories on the opening night!

Watch 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' As A Movie

After posting his 'The Last Of Us' game movie, Andy Gilleand is back with a new full length game movie, 'Batman: Arkham Asylum'.

"I decided to try something new with this movie. Normally I try to edit out as many "game indicators" as possible, such as button prompts or other text. This game includes a great deal of these indicators that are difficult to edit out, such as grapple prompts and annoying text. I used a remove effect from the Mocha program to remove some of these. It only worked if the text/prompt to be removed only hovered above backgrounds, not if it moved in front of characters. So there's still a lot I couldn't edit out, but I think if you've played the game before, you may be surprised at some of the edits I was able to do. Some of these led to a few strange video artifacts, but for the most part it still looked better than the original. 

I played this at max settings, which ran pretty smoothly at 60fps on my PC, and I captured it at 24fps for a film feel."

His next game movie is 'Batman: Arkham City', but due to a busy schedule, may take a bit longer to complete.

Happy Birthday Edgar Rice Burroughs

art by Al Williamson & Reed Crandall

Edgar Rice Burroughs was born on this day in 1875.

Having only really caught up with his books with the release of the film 'John Carter', his stories of adventure and interplanetary romance have quickly become some of my favourite reads.

The adventures he wrote of on Mars, Pellucidar, Caspak and Venus got me seeking more stories in a similar vein, and I discovered the stories of Otis A Kline, Philip Nowlan, Robert E Howard, Leigh Brackett, Kenneth Robeson and more vintage pulp sci-fi, fantasy as a result. Quickly becoming my favourite genre!

Without Burroughs, there might not have been any sci-fi to influence the pop culture of today. No Flash Gordon, no Superman, no Star Wars!

So I'd like to say thanks for the hours of joy from reading his books and to inspiring me in the world of science fiction (I have been tinkering away at a pulp SFF style story too).

Happy birthday Edgar Rice Burroughs!
