Marvel Zombies Christmas Carol

March 10, 2011 | | Comic News

Marvel is proud to announce that artist David Baldeon will be joining writer Jim McCann for MARVEL ZOMBIES CHRISTMAS CAROL! Guaranteed to make you even more afraid of things that go bump in the night, Marvel’s twist on the acclaimed Charles Dickens tale will send chills down your spine! As the Hungry Death consumes the land, Ebeneezer Scrooge must be sent back to Christmases past with his undead friend Jacob Marley to learn the origin of this vicious scourge. When we started working on this idea, I was amazed at how well the original text worked in with the concept of the undead. We’ve taken a way to introduce ‘zombies’ in a Victorian manner, keeping with the chilling tale Dickens crafted in the 1800s,” said McCann. “I think that David’s amazing designs show you how well it will look. We aren’t going for campiness or shoving zombies into a popular story, but for true Victorian horror…and a small glimmer of hope that lies in one man’s cold heart: Scrooge!”

Marvel Character Affinity: Rulk

March 10, 2011 | | Comic Features

When you think of Rulk, one name and one name only comes to mind. No it’s not Bruce Banner, The Leader or the Abomination (Although that is a word associated with Rulk a lot), no its Jeph Loeb. After a very successful run of Hulk books that included Planet Hulk and ending with World War Hulk, Marvel gave newly contracted Loeb the go ahead to screw up everything Hulk and make this reader hate it even more than Brand New Day. After finally making the Hulk somewhat intelligent and putting Bruce and Hulk in symmetry with each other, Loeb came along and threw all that out the window.

Will returns to UCLA to meet the student that offered to help him. The student stayed up all night taking Guarana and doing research on the personification of numbers.

Amazing Fantasy #15 goes for $1.1 Million

March 9, 2011 | | Comic News

A comic collector has
been caught in Spider-Man’s web, paying $1.1 million for a near-mint
copy of “Amazing Fantasy” No. 15 that features the wall-crawler’s debut. The
issue, first published in 1962, was sold Monday by a private seller to a
private buyer, ComicConnect.com chief executive Stephen Fishler told
The Associated Press on Tuesday. It’s
not the
highest price ever paid for a comic book, an honor that goes to “Action
Comics” No. 1 with Superman on the cover, which went for $1.5 million.
But Fishler says the price paid is the most for a book from the Silver
Age, the mid-1950s to about 1970.

Cabra Cini comes from a very troubled past. At one point in her life an abusive boyfriend turned her into a prostitute and became her pimp.

The voodoo lead to a new lifestyle choice as she became a voodoo hitwoman; on this day in particular she’s looking for a target that killed a young girl when he tried to drink her blood. The dumb girl idolized the vampire wanna-be idiot and allowed him to foolishly kill her. The girl’s parents were a little less sympathetic about the stupidity of the girl’s death and began tearing about her room looking for clues to why this had happened. What they find is the contact information for the Voodoo Lady… Cabra Cini.
