Electrical Storms
Yep, it's storming here... again. This is going on three days of thunderstorms during which the electricity has flickered or gone off entirely and I've had to disconnect the phoneline from the DSL and shut down the computer twice already this morning (I'm writing this at around 11:30am), so I'm going to take it easy and not get into anything heavy online that might cause me to lose work or, worse yet, another computer.
It's forecast to storm throughout the weekend, but we'll see how it goes. Saturday Morning Cartoons shouldn't be affected. As always, enjoy!

Green Wake Now Ongoing
Kurtis Wiebe (INTREPIDS) and Riley Rossmo's (PROOF, COWBOY NINJA VIKING) disturbing tale of the town of GREEN WAKE will soon be collected into its first trade paperback, but the horrors won't end there, because Image Comics and Shadowline Productions are making GREEN WAKE an ongoing series."The response to GREEN WAKE has been so encouraging," said Wiebe. "It's such a great feeling to realize that this brand new idea, this new world that we've created in GREEN WAKE resonates with readers, and that they want to read more."
"Kurtis and I have put a lot of strange, gory stuff into this book," added Rossmo. "Sometimes we stand back and look at what we've come up with, and there have been more than a few times that we've wondered, 'Is this too far?' Fortunately, it seems our readers are just as sick as we are!"
Wiebe continued: "The move from miniseries to continuing series is what we hoped for, as GREEN WAKE proved from the beginning to be a complex story full of new angles and side plots. At this point I think it's safe to say that we aren't going anywhere. Both Riley and I have plenty more up our sleeves, and this first collection is only the beginning!"
GREEN WAKE TP (JUL110468, ISBN: 978-1-60706-432-9), a 136-page full color comic book goes on sale September 21st, 2011 for $16.99. GREEN WAKE #6 (AUG110520) picks up where the trade leaves off on October 26th and is available for order in the current issue of Diamond Previews.

RIP: Bubba Smith
Bubba Smith, actor and former NFL defensive end, was found dead in his home yesterday at 66. People my age and non-sports fans probably remember Smith best as "Hightower" from the popular 1980s Police Academy franchise, though he appeared in numerous movies and TV shows including Good Times, Charlie's Angels, and others.
A spokesperson says Bubba Smith's death did not appear suspicious. Our condolences to his friends and family.

Doc Bizarre, M.D.
The writer of GODLAND and recent, over-the-top sensation BUTCHER BAKER, THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER has once again teamed up with his former CHARLATAN BALL collaborator Andy Suriano to offer readers a new solution to their supernatural problems. DOC BIZARRE, M.D., a strange tale of sick monsters, medically-challenged myths, and ghouls at Death’s door, will debut in October from Image Comics."I loved collaborating with Joe again," Suriano said. "Every time we put our heads together I feel like I need a trip to the sanitarium after -- the dude's sick! In the best possible way, of course. This new cast of characters we brought to life are twisted and equally as colorful; I just hope everyone's ready for the bizarre!"
"Another technicolor brain dump from Andy and me," added Casey. "This time delivered in one, easily digestible chunk of hardcover graphic novel goodness! Hopefully folks will have as much fun reading it as we had making it."
Prepare to enter the world of DOC BIZARRE, M.D., a world of coughing creeps and diseased devils, a world where a doctor’s prescription might include wolfsbane and garlic, a world where even the most powerful vampires find themselves crippled by the common cold. Who else can they turn to for relief, but DOC BIZARRE, M.D.?

Scanners is Coming to the Small Screen
David Cronenberg's Scanners is headed to your TV screens courtesy of Dimension Films. The series follows a group of people with "telepathic and telekinetic powers," though that is the most information I have at this point. Alexandre Aja is set to executive produce and direct the pilot, but Dimension is looking for a showrunner.
Having acquired the rights to the franchise some years back, the studio originally planned a Scanners remake, but turned its eye to the small screen following the success of The Walking Dead.
