Dark Horse Announces Aliens: Defiance Ongoing Series At NYCC

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22434:]]

As announced on the Dark Horse: CLASSIFIED! panel at New York Comic Con, writer Brian Wood (The Massive, Rebels) and artist Tristan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road, TMNT) will take on the xenomorphs just in time to celebrate the anniversary of Aliens with a new ongoing series—Aliens: Defiance!

“Alien was groundbreaking when it first debuted, and has only grown in relevance and pop culture legend since,” remarked Wood. “Thirty-seven years is an impressive amount of time for any entertainment property to thrive, much less still top mainstream headlines and fuel speculation like it does. It’s an honor to be invited to add to that legend.”

In space, no one can hear you scream . . . Aliens: Defiance follows struggling Colonial Marine rookie Zula Hendricks as she goes AWOL to protect Earth from an unknown alien species.

“Few films are as timelessly terrifying and the fact that it continues to grip audiences and affect them beyond any of its successors and imitators (of which there are plenty) is the strongest testament to how truly transcendent everything that went into, and came out of, Alien is,” added Jones. “Being asked to be a part of something so defining, and so instrumental to the creative development of not just me, but so many, many others, is a lifelong dream come true.”

Aliens: Defiance #1 (of 12) is in stores April 27, 2016. Preorder your copy today at your local comic shop!

Dan Slott Bringing Silver Surfer Back To Earth In Game-Changer (Video)

Marvel recently announced that Dan Slott and Mike Allred will be back on a new Silver Surfer ongoing next year.

While attending this weekend’s NYCC, Dan Slott talked with Marvel about the Silver Surfer, which sees the character’s 50th Anniversary take place next March.

In the above video, Slott revealed he is bringing the Silver Surfer back to where it all started – Earth – and that their first story will be a game-changer for the character.

“We taken one of our biggest stories and we are just going to explode with that first,” Slott said. “It’s huge, and it’s going to change Silver Surfer forever. We say that all the time. We say ‘break the internet, change forever,’  but no, this story is so big that when you try to explain Silver Surfer… you are going to have to mention this story from now on…. but by being so true to who and what the Silver Surfer is about… but it’s a major, major change for him that comes from the character, and you can never go back after this. You can never go back after this story. This is who Silver Surfer will be.”

Dan Slott also teased that Dawn might not be back for the series.

“We haven’t said if she is coming back,” Slott said. “That first cover, she’s not on it. It’s Dawn-less. You are going to have to wait and see if Dawn Greenwood is coming back.”

Slott continued by teasing the Surfer’s return to Earth.

“Now we are going to see Surfer on Earth because of stuff that is going to happen, and it’s going to be fun to see him interact with the Marvel Universe and do things with Earthlings.”

Vin Diesel Teases Black Bolt; Recommends Rose Leslie For Inhumans

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22425:]]

While Marvel Studios is rumored to be cancelling the Inhumans movie as a result of a feud with Marvel TV/Comics CEO billionaire Ike Perlmutter, no one seems to have told Vin Diesel.

This past weekend saw Vin Diesel appear at the New York Comic-Con for The Last Witch Hunter panel. Cosmic Book News‘ Chris Bushley was in attendance which saw Vin Diesel tease the Inhumans movie.

Vin Diesel recommended his fellow Witch Hunter co-star, Rose Leslie, for a role by asking the crowd, “Don’t you think she would be great for Inhumans?” which saw the fans agree with a roar.

A recent interview with Vin Diesel also saw the actor tease the role of Black Bolt as Diesel told io9: “We’ve heard a lot of talk about Marvel wanting to have me play a character that doesn’t have my voice. So my voice is used for Groot and my presence is used for the other character.”

Inhumans has a planned hit July 12, 2019, with The Last Witch Hunter hitting October 23 , 2015.

Watch: SuperMansion Red Band NYCC 2015 Trailer

The creators and cast of SuperMansion made quite the impression at New York Comic Con on Sunday discussing the new stop-motion animated comedy available exclusively on Crackle. 

The panel, featuring Writer/Creator Zeb Wells, Executive Producers Seth Green and Bryan Cranston, and voice actor Tom Root, included the debut of the show’s red-band trailer, an audience Q+A, and a precious moment between Cranston and Green.  

Check out the new Red-Band (mature) trailer above and images from the NYCC panel below.

In SuperMansion, the aging, irascible Titanium Rex finds himself playing mentor to a new crop of Millennial-aged heroes who have little interest in their noble profession.  Much to Titanium Rex’s chagrin, they’re all thrown together to live in the SuperMansion, where the young super heroes learn how to harness their super powers and fight for justice, liberty … and the need to stay relevant to society.  

SuperMansion brings audiences a look at superheroes the uniquely skewed lens of creators Matt Senreich and Zeb Wells, along with executive producers Seth Green and Bryan Cranston.  It’s the first 22-minute stop-motion animated series from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, creators of Robot Chicken, and the first animated series to debut on Crackle.

Now Iron Fist Rumored To Be Cancelled; Inhumans Cancellation Update

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22417:]]

The virtual “civil war” between Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and eccentric billionaire Ike Perlmutter continues as, following the rumor of the Inhumans movie being cancelled, now it’s said the Netflix Iron Fist series may be on the chopping block.

The rumor comes once again from Bleeding Cool who apparently spoke to a few tipsy Marvel Comics/TV employees at this past weekend’s NYCC.

According to the report, Marvel Studios gets the final say and sign-off on how Iron Fist appears, with it said the “show may be killed with such procedural notes.” While the report doesn’t mention it, it could be possible Marvel Studios may want Iron Fist in their own movies. Iron Fist was/is supposed to be its own Netflix series and a part of the Netflix Defenders series along with Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.

Regarding the cancellation of the Inhumans movie, a few sites have contradicted the info, but BC is sticking by their own sources (again speculated to be in the Marvel Comics/TV division) stating the info is coming out of Kevin Feige’s camp. Another site also states if Black Bolt and the Royal Family first appear on the Agents Of SHIELD TV series, that it will mean the movie is a definite goner.

It’s further suggested Marvel Studios is “de-prioritizing” Inhumans with the excuse for dropping it stated to be that they could never find the right people for it.

Bryan Cranston Wants To Play X-Men Villain

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22416:]]

Bryan Cranston recently stated he wanted to play a “nasty” Marvel villain, and now while appearing at the New York Comi-Con on Sunday drops the name of a classic Marvel bad guy.

Cranston was on hand to promote his new SuperMansion series where the topic was brought up.

“What do you think?” Cranston asked the crowd, which caused them to go wild, notes IGN.

“It intrigues me to be able to play a character that hasn’t been on film before, so you can create it from the beginning,” Cranston said about Mr. Sinister.

Cranston is known for playing the bad guy in Breaking Bad with Walter White. Maybe we’ll see Sinister as a future villain in an upcoming X-Men movie following X-Men: Apocalypse, which hits next year.

“Ever since The Magicians was published I’ve wanted to see this story on screen,” said Lev Grossman. “The people, the school, the other worlds, the magic. I’m so thrilled that it’s finally happening, and I’m beyond thrilled that we found the right people to do it. Get ready; you’ve never seen anything like this.”
