Welcome to the first ‘’normal’’ issue of Conan the Cimmerian, the ongoing Conan series from Dark Horse comics. If the special number zero was just an introduction, things start to get on their way in this first issue. We get the first glimpses of the story and we can see both the art of Tomas Giorello and Richard Corben.

This number one issue that I have has a variant cover by Joe Kubert, and is currently unavailable at tfaw.com, but you can buy the one…

A Japanese television ( NTV or NHK, is not sure) showed footage of some images from the next Studio Ghibli film, Karigurashi no Arrietty (The Borrowers). The video clip shows the images I’ve posted bellow, but you can also see Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki, if only for brief moments. I find the artwork charming. It has a strong classic feeling to it, like the old anime series that Hayao worked on, Future Boy Conan or Heidi, but also has traits from Nausicaa and Laputa. It seems that some of …

We all remember the good old Robin Hood of the 90’s with Kevin Costner, right? It was great for sure. And romantic, and fun. But I think it is the time we get another one, a more mature, dark and serious Robin Hood, in Ridley Scott style. If you don’t know who Ridley Scott is, then you are not from this earth and you are sure an… Alien (1979)!. Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, A1942, Black Hawk Down. Did I mentioned Alien? There you go.
The movie will take the well known …

Although I do not like American football, I do like movies. So here it is, I know you want it. The special Superbowl trailer for the upcoming movie of M. Night Shyamalan, The Last Airbender. I can feel some competition for Avatar so  I guess I will be back with a more detailed article about this movie. Enjoy the (short) trailer.

Mass Effect: Redemption is the comic book adaptation of the well known PC and Xbox game produced by Bioware. More exactly, Redemption tells the events that lead up to Mass Effect 2.

Dark Horse has the official task to bring us this four-part comic-book series, which is written by Mac Walters (lead writer for the game) scripted by John Jackson Miller (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) and drawn by Omar Garcia (Star Wars: Legacy)…

Well, I totally missed this one, but as comics books started to conquer domain after domain, from movies to digital downloads, I cannot help myself to report this bit of news.

With the Digital Comics service, Sony introduced to PSP something that I am sure it was missing from their portable gaming console. Comic-books. And although I still ponder how you can you have a good reading experience jumping from panel to panel, that is just a runt. Sony developed a program…

A movie with Captain America has to tell the origins of the character for those who have no idea who Cap is right? Thought so myself, but apparently the director, Joe Johnson, has other ideas. In an interview with Film Journal, he said that the movie will indeed start in the second world war, but the actual origin story of Captain America, like we know it from the Marvel comics, will be ignored. Johnson wants to avoid the 60s and 70s facts from comics and to make a jump from …

A new trailer has been made available for the Clash of the Titans movie, which will be released on 26 March 2010. Watch out for the huge creature at the end. Awesome musical score too! Drums, drums! I cant wait to see this movie, even if it will be nothing but action and mythological monsters. Nuff said!

After 100 years of sleep, the future will be yours, but do you really want it?
Six months ago or so, I was was posting a trailer for the anime film King of Thorn. Now I think is time to gather all the facts and take again a look at what this film has to offer. Cold facts.
The film is directed by Kazuyoshi Katayama, with a screenplay by Hiroshi Yamaguchi & Kazuyoshi Katayama, inspired after the manga ‘’King of Thorn’’ by Yuji Iwahara. What I found interesting is that …
