The cast of “The Horror Lovers” do their best to beat the summer heat in this image exclusively available as a print to backers of their Kickstarter!
“The Horror Lovers” is a screwball horror/humor comic book by Valerie D’Orazio (“PunisherMAX,” “Beyond: Edward Snowden”) and Bobby Timony (“The Night Owls,” “Detectobot”)—a love-letter to the types of slapstick movies, humor comics and grade-b horror movies we loved as a child.

Dan Goldman’s cult favorite webcomic Red Light Properties is about to make its long awaited print debut. Re-edited, re-lettered, re-colored, and re-scripted, the first-ever print edition of Red Light Properties will be available as a trade paperback from Idw Publishing in late January, 2014.
The book includes more than 20 never-before-seen pages and is designed to be the definitive reading experience, the first of an ongoing series of Red Light Properties releases from Idw.
The critically-acclaimed Red Light Properties presents the adventures of an ambitious Miami real estate agency with a very specific business model. The husband-and-wife-run agency unearths properties that are unsellable because they’re haunted. The husband then cleans out said haunted homes by whatever (often unsavory) means necessary. The ghosts find closure. The seller unloads their property. The Rlp Agency receives a fee. Everyone wins… except maybe for the Tobins, who are barely on speaking terms. You see,...

While I was in NYC a couple of weekends ago, I ended up at a Gowanus Studios party out in Brooklyn (as you do), chatting with my friend Reilly Brown and some other excellent comics folks. In the middle of all this (all this being pizza and wine, la-di-la, because I’m too fancy for beer), I learned about Act-i-vate, which some of you may have heard of, but I sure hadn’t. That’s one of the things I love about comics – even if you’ve been a fan for years, or know quite a bit about it, there’s always so much going on that you’re never going to reach the end of learning new stuff about comics – the art and the industry. (And also, if you’re me at least, the genre being so large means you don’t have to feel like a bad fan...

Dan Goldman's Red Light Properties has arrived at Monkeybrain Comics. The award-winning series will be distributed by Chris Roberson's newly minted company. The supernatural drama-horror centres around a family-run estate agency in Miami Beach that exorcises haunted homes. It was originally commissioned by Tor.com and has continued to expand under Goldman's own efforts. "I've been a huge admirer of Dan's work since the launch of the Act-i-vate site in the middle of the last decade, but I wasn't prepared for just how amazing Red Light Properties (more)...

Marvel waited until the 11th hour before Apple's iPad launch to announce their custom comics-viewing app from ComiXology, but the move quickly put them in the spotlight for discussion of comics on the new device. Author Cory Doctorow saw some problems with the app in post over on Boing Boing, though, and his stance prompted a few creators to take sides in the Twitter Report feed.
Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure everyone should be willing to support Jon Favreau, who logged in to Twitter last night to verify that he's finished "Iron Man 2" and delivered the movie on time. Share his moment of triumph after the jump along with a snazzy piece of "Sandman" art from Jill Thompson and some bewilderment about casting in "The First Avenger: Captain America."
It's all in the Twitter Report for April 2, 2010.

08: A Graphic Diary of the Campaign Trail
By Michael Crowley and Dan Goldman
Three Rivers Press, January 2009, $17.95
Typically, there are two kinds of non-fiction books about big events – first are the quick-and-dirty ones that come out almost immediately, pulled together from news reports or written on the fly or just knocked out by a writer with lightning fingers. The other is the “think piece” – longer, more measured, with time for distance and clarity. They each have their strengths: the quick books can crystallize a mood, and remind us of what we felt at the time, while the slower books tend to be the ones that last. It happens with all kinds of nonfictional topics, from biographies (the quickies come out after the personage has done something major, such as died) to political scandals to social movements.
But the area that attracts more quick books than any other is high-level...

The happy mutants at Tor.com-- no wait, the happy mutants are at BoingBoing, the snarky geeks are at io9, and the ink-stained shockwave riders are at Tor.com-- are running a Dan Goldman comic, "Yes We Will", in which Obama deals with the greatest problem of his first term, as predicted by Nostradamus. Or the Mayans. Or Timothy Leary. Or something like that.
Go read it, it's fun.
Although I can deal with the idea of the singularity a lot easier than I can with Barack Obama not dressed nattily. I'm sorry, but that's stretching credibilty too far.

Australian actor Mark Priestley has committed suicide following a battle with depression. The 32-year-old, best known for his role as Dan Goldman on All Saints, checked into Sydney's Swissotel before jumping from one of the building's windows yesterday afternoon. Filming for All Saints was suspended as news of the tragedy reached the show's cast and crew. A spokeswoman confirmed: "They were devastated so we closed the set immediately as people were trying to come to terms with the tragedy. We'll endeavour to get back to filming tomorrow." A representative for Channel 7, which screens All Saints, added: "Mark (more)...
