Preview: DCeased #1

Article by Steve Ray
Since Tom Taylor started teasing his DCeased series on social media, anticipation has been building to fever pitch. At first we had cryptic messages, then images started appearing. Darkseid ripping his own face off, Superman watching humanity tear itself apart, and Cyborg on his knees amongst surrounded by a crowd of people ripping each other to shreds.
Now DC have released the first few pages of the book, along with a batch of the variant covers. This series is NOT for the faint hearted and, be warned, some readers may find the following images disturbing.
As well as the first few pages, drawn by the brilliant Trevor Hairsine, with terrific colour by Rain Beredo and two main covers, DC have released many of the variant covers for the series. Eagle eyed horror fans will notice that some of them are homages to classic shockers like It, A Nightmare On Elm Street and The Nun, amongst others.

This Looks Dead Good!

Tom Taylor has already shocked and delighted comics fans with his amazing work on Injustice for DC. Letting a writer of his calibre cut loose on a DC Universe where chaos reigns, the undead walk the Earth and the Justice League are powerless to stop them, has got fans really excited.
As this series doesn’t form part of DC continuity, much like Injustice, no character is safe, and anything can happen.
All I can say is that I’m dying to get my hands on this book! Well… not literally. Oh... you know what I mean!
DCeased will be lurching into comic stores in May 2019.

Image
Article by Philip Clark An all queer cast. An all femme ensemble. A non-binary Dungeon Master. Throw in some quality story-telling and role playing too, this sounds like a whole lot of fun! If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together!

Then come the delicious character introductions that give vivid descripti...

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
