+++++ From ICV2.com The N.Y. Times Covers Marvel's 'Civil War' Series Takes on Major Issues February 21, 2006 Monday's New York Times contained an article by George Gustines in the "Arts Section" discussing Marvel's seven-issue monthly Civil War mini-series written by Mark Millar, which starts in May; and the bi-weekly Civil War: Front Line series written by Paul Jenkins, which debuts in June. The Times article emphasized the political relevance of the two Marvel series concerning a government initiative that forces all superheroes to register and includes a Guantanamo Bay-like prison, numerous references to weapons of mass destruction, embedded reporters, and an attack on civil liberties. The government's initiative divides the Marvel superheroes into two opposing camps, those who register and work for the government and those who refuse to register. As the Times puts it, "The question at the heart of the series is a fundamental one: 'Would you give up your civil liberties to feel safer in the world?'" Not only are the issues presented in Millar's Civil War difficult to wrestle with, Paul Jenkins will provide readers with two very different views of the events of Civil War. The Civil War: Frontline series features two very different embedded reporters, one of whom writes for a left-leaning newspaper, while the other is on the staff of the Daily Bugle, which is edited by J. Jonah Jameson, who Jenkins told the Times he sees as a Rupert Murdoch clone with a right wing agenda. The effect could be like watching something on Fox News and then hearing an account of the same story on Air America. How daring Marvel will be in portraying the very real hazards, both external and internal, that this country faces, remains to be seen, but the nation's number one comic book publisher is definitely shaking things up in a major way. Mark Millar assured the Times' reporter that Civil War, "...will work on two levels...at the core it's one half of the Marvel heroes vs. the other half. The political allegory is only for those that are politically aware. Kids are going to read it and just see a big superhero fight." The question is, politics aside, whether fans, after enduring a historically high number of crossovers and "universe-shattering" events in the world of comics since last spring, will respond to yet another major comic book crisis? Dynamite Re-Enlists With 'Army of Darkness' Will Release John Bolton's Movie Adaptation February 21, 2006 Dynamite Entertainment has announced an agreement with MGM Entertainment to extend the license for the Army of Darkness comic book series. AOD was the first of what is now a sizeable stable of licensed comic series for Dynamite Entertainment, which published the first issue of the series in July of 2004 under the Devil's Due banner (see "Army of Darkness Coming in July"). One of the best things to come out of the new agreement is that Dynamite will get the rights to release a re-mastered version of John Bolton's adaptation of the Army of Darkness movie (originally published by Dark Horse). Stay tuned for details. Corgi's Marvel Die-Cast Figures Limited Editions Out This Spring February 21, 2006 At the New York International Toy Fair Corgi showed off its Limited Edition Die-Cast Marvel Figures. The first four 1/12 scale (approximately 6-inch) figures, which are due to be released this spring, include Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Thing. The limited edition (2000-3000 pieces) figures will all retail for $60, except for the more massive figure of The Thing, which has an MSRP of $75. A second group of Marvel figures, which will include Storm, Colossus, Thor, and Dark Phoenix, ships in late summer, with a third quartet of Marvel die-casts slated for the end of the fourth quarter. In addition to its new line of Marvel figures Corgi is also continuing its line of die-cast cars based on the Batmobiles featured in Batman comic books with seven new vehicles scheduled for 2006 including a third 1960s Batmobile, due out this summer. In November Corgi will ship its newest James Bond vehicle, an Aston-Martin DBS, which will be featured in the new Casino Royale Bond film, which opens in November. Corgi is also planning to release a series of resin and die-cast figures based on the Tales of Midnight comic book series by UK artist Francis Lee. A 12-inch (1/6 scale) Midnight Resin has an MSRP of $85, while 6-inch resins of Midnight and Sarah are $60 each, and six-inch die-cast figures of Sarah and Midnight will be $30 each. 'Battle Angel Alita' in 2009 Cameron to Make 'Project 880' First February 21, 2006 James Cameron has told Entertainment Weekly that he is moving forward with his plans to make a film out of Yukito Kishiro's Battle Angel Alita (published in the U.S. by Viz), but he plans to make another film (the highly secret Project 880) first. Cameron now plans to try and get Project 880 finished and into theaters in 2007, though he wouldn't rule out releasing it in 2008. That means that Battle Angel Alita is now slated for 2009. The good news for Battle Angel Alita fans is that both films are set up at Twentieth Century Fox and Cameron told EW: "We couldn't do one unless we do both, they use the same technology." The bad news is that Cameron is notoriously slow -- he has made only 3 documentaries in the nine years since the release of Titanic -- and he will be filming both Project 880 and Battle Angel Alita in a hi-def 3-D format. Cameron told EW that he hopes that at least 1,000 theaters will be able to show Project 880 digitally (to be effective the hi-def 3D process really requires digital presentation), but the pace of conversion to digital projection in American theaters is positively glacial. This could provide another source of frustration for Cameron, who wants to keep pushing the American cinema to the frontier of technological innovation. Mattel Has the Movies in '06 Plus Some Key Anime Properties February 22, 2006 Last year Mattel's chief competitor Hasbro had the number one movie toy property in Star Wars, but in 2006 Mattel has a leg up on its chief rival thanks to licenses based on Warner Brothers' Superman Returns and Pixar's Cars. In addition Mattel has four key anime licenses including Naruto, Zatch Bell, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and One Piece. Superman Returns Although they weren't as popular as Star Wars toys in 2005, Mattel's Batman Begins offerings did very well and basically resuscitated the Batman property as a key toy license. Mattel hopes that Superman Returns will do the same for toys based on the Man of Steel. Mattel is preparing to unleash three different assortments of Superman Returns Action Figures including a basic 5.5" Superman Figures Assortment, a 7" Superman Ultra Figure Assortment, and 7" Superman Select Sculpts Assortment. There will be 13 basic figures including three villains from the movie and ten different Superman figures each demonstrating one of the Man of Steel's key powers. The 12" Superman Returns Ultimate Power Figure features a talking chip plus several button-activated sound effects including take- offs and landings, plus a special "heat vision" effect. One of Superman's most distinctive powers is his ability to fly and Mattel has developed the first radio-controlled Superman Returns Flying Superman Figure, which will fly for two minutes on a battery charge (and needs only 3 minutes to recharge). Mattel plans a major TV push for the Ultimate Power Figure and R/C Flying Superman Figure along with a couple of role-playing toys, the Superman Punch n' Crush Gloves and the Superman Inflato Suit, which provides kids with instant muscles. The Batman In December of 2005 Mattel unleashed a formidable array of toys based on the latest Batman animated series known as The Batman. Unlike the dark world of Batman Begins, the new Batman animated series provided plenty of color, especially in the extensive rogue's gallery of villains. Mattel's The Batman Action Figure line, which debuted in December, included some 35 different figures. The key release for 2006 will be the Batman Power Key Playset (July), which ties in directly with the cartoon series and will enable kids to make full use of the power keys that come with every Batman Action Figure. Cars Pixar's Cars is quite likely to be one of the big hits of 2006 and Mattel has a plethora of Cars-related toys, which will be in stores a full six weeks before the film opens on June 9. With its experience in creating Hot Wheels, Mattel is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a movie in which all the characters are cars. Mattel has Cars Characters Assortments, Cars Movie Moments Assortments, three different race sets as well as a Pullback Vehicle Assortment, a Zip Stick Racers Assortment, and a Cars Smack & Yak Assortment. Naruto The first Mattel Naruto toys, the Eight-Inch Fury Figure Assortment, will debut in May followed by three additional assortments in June, the Naruto Training Deluxe Figure Assortment, the Naruto Battling Basic Figure Assortment, and the Naruto 12" EXT Battle Assortment, which will receive TV support as will the Naruto Chakra Challenge. The Naruto anime series has done exceptionally well on the Cartoon Network, and with the help of TV advertising, this property appears to be Mattel's best chance to make a splash both in the mass market and with independent retailers. Zatch Bell Mattel's other major anime-based initiative for 2006 is a line of toys based on Zatch Bell, another series that has had exposure on the Cartoon Network (and is also supported by a highly successful manga series as well as a CCG and video games). Mattel's 2" Zatch Bell Figure Assortment should debut in June along with a Zatch Bell Basic Figures Assortment. Yu-Gi-Oh! Mattel's major Yu-Gi-Oh! releases for 2006 are the Yu-Gi-Oh! Battle Armor Figure Assortment, which debuts in May and the Yu- Gi-Oh! Power Monster Assortment, which should ship to retail in June, along with the elaborate electronic Yu-Gi-Oh! E-Hero Thunder Giant, which will be featured in TV ads. One Piece All of the key elements of Mattel's first wave of One Piece toys shipped to retail in December, but two role-playing items, the One Piece Luffy Head and the One Piece Luffy Hand are due out in June. Barbour to Publish More Inspirational Manga 'Serenity' Will Continue February 22, 2006 Barbour Publishing and Realbuzz Studios have announced the impending publication later this year of three full color OEL manga series for the inspirational market. The three new series will include a continuation of Barbour's first inspirational manga title, Serenity: Bad Girl in Town (not to be confused with Joss Whedon's Serenity movie or the Dark Horse Serenity comics and graphic novel). The continuation of Barbour's Serenity series, entitled Life! Camera! Action! Starring Serenity, will debut in the fall. The other two new series are Hits and Misses, the story of a girls' fast-pitch softball team battling to save their school, and Goofyfoot Girl, a whimsical tale set in the surfing world. Barbour's agreement with Realbuzz studios calls for 4 volumes in each of the three new series. The first volume of Serenity: Bad Girl in Town ($10.95), written by veteran comic book scribe Buzz Dixon (G.I. Joe) and illustrated by Min Kwon, came out in November, followed by a second installment of the comic misadventures of the blue-haired bundle of attitude in December. A third 96-page, full color volume is due out in March, with volume four slated for this summer. Serenity's bad attitude creates a culture clash with a group of teens from the local Prayer Club, but eventually their unconditional tough love wins her over. This inspirational message has helped Barbour get the Serenity graphic novels into over 300 Family Christian bookstores and 400 LifeWay Baptist stores (Barbour's books are available to regular comic shops via Diamond Comic Distributors). An impressive total of more than 350 stores are on autoship for 12-copy Serenity counter displays. Barbour Publishing of Uhrichsville Ohio previously published Christian themed-comic books such as The Cross and the Switchblade and comic versions of Bible stories, but gave up those early efforts a decade ago before taking another shot at comic book publishing (in a new full color manga-influenced format) with the publication of Serenity: Bad Girl in Town in 2005. ICv2 Releases Graphic Novel Guide #7 Includes Annual Market Report February 24, 2006 An ICv2 Release. ICv2 has announced the release of ICv2 Retailers Guide to Graphic Novels #7, containing its annual survey of the graphic novel market for 2005. ICv2 estimates the 2005 graphic novel market reached approximately $245 million at retail in the U.S. and Canada last year, up about 18% from 2004.

ICv2 also provides marketing, distribution, and general business consulting services to companies involved in the pop culture products industries. Marvel Studios Happy to Reclaim the 'Hulk' Universal Will Only Distribute Sequel February 24, 2006 In a conference call with financial analysts Marvel Studios Chairman and CEO, Avi Arad did not attempt to disguise his pleasure at the prospect of recovering the film rights to the Hulk from Universal. In its licensing agreements with Hollywood studios Marvel has performance dates that must be met or the property reverts to Marvel. When it became apparent that Universal would have trouble making the date for the start of principal photography on a sequel to the Hulk, Marvel was able to fashion a deal which gave Marvel the rights to make a Hulk film, but grants Universal the right to distribute the Hulk sequel. This means that the Hulk film will be made outside the Paramount- distributed Marvel Studios deal (see "Marvel to Produce Its Own Movies"), but Marvel should not have much trouble arranging the financing and will retain the lion's share of any profits (and all licensing rights) from a Hulk sequel. Although Marvel will have three animated features from Lions Gate going direct-to-DVD in 2006, there will be only one major Marvel- based theatrical film, Fox's X-Men 3, which opens on May 26th. In 2007 however, there will be three major Marvel-based films starting with Sony's Ghost Rider over the Presidents' Day weekend, Fox's Spider-Man 3 in May, and Fox's Fantastic Four 2 over the July 4th weekend. While Marvel's CEO Peter Cuneo has called 2006 "a year of transition for Marvel," the same could be said for 2007, which will probably be the last year in which the majority of Marvel- based films will be made by the traditional Hollywood studios. With the return of the Hulk and Iron Man (see "Marvel Starts Over on Iron Man Film") to the Marvel Studios fold, the only Marvel properties with theatrical potential at other studios are Wolverine (at Fox) and The Punisher 2 (at Lion's Gate). In a conference call with analysts Arad promised that Marvel Studios would release its first major theatrical film in the summer of 2008, but he declined to say what that film would be. He likened the process of deciding which property to make first to a horse race -- Marvel Studios is developing a number of projects including Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk 2, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Nick Fury, Cloak & Dagger, The Avengers, etc. -- and will eventually choose the most promising based on which potential movie separates itself from the pack. Batman & Superman Sequels in the Works For 2008 & 2009 February 24, 2006 Variety is reporting that Warner Brothers Pictures "is already planning the next installments" in the Batman and Superman film franchises, and, although neither director has actually signed on for the sequel, Warners is counting on having Christopher Nolan direct the sequel to Batman Begins and Bryan Singer helm the follow-up to Superman Returns. The studio has hired Christopher Nolan's brother Jonah, who wrote the screenplay for Prestige (which Chris Nolan is currently shooting) to write the script for the as-yet unnamed Batman film, which the studio hopes to debut in 2008, to be followed by a Superman sequel in 2009. Warner Brothers has contract options for Christian Bale and Brandon Routh, the stars of the two superhero epics, and Legendary Pictures, which financed 50% of both the Batman and Superman films, is on board for the sequels as well, which lessens the risk for Warners. The fact that Warners is commencing work on a new Superman film months before Superman Returns debuts testifies to the confidence that studio execs have in the film in spite of its considerable cost. Variety estimates that despite substantial tax breaks (covering 12% of the cost) from the Australian government, the current production cost of Superman Returns at $185 million, which does not count the millions spent on "developing" previous film projects featuring the Man of Steel, which never got made. +++++ [ALL THE RAGE and LYING IN THE GUTTERS are originally posted online on Sunday and Monday respectively so the information here is almost a week old. Other items above are more current.- D.L.] From Blair Marnell in his ALL THE RAGE Gossip Column at: http://www.SilverBulletComicBooks.com Write to him at: blairm@silverbulletcomicbooks.com RUMOUR BARRIER "I accept that the following material is rumour and gossip, intended to entertain only. I won't repeat the information inside as fact. I understand if I want the truth, I will go to Silver Bulletins. I enter freely with my mind open and my blinkers off." Now, on to the rumours . . . [NOTE: this column may be slightly edited for language. - D.L.] The Parliament of Dreams By Blair Marnell Welcome back to another edition of ATR. Still recovering from Wonder Con, folks. But you're a patient bunch, so here's the latest Rage from across the comic industry. The Book of Destiny Earlier this week over at his online journal, Neil Gaiman revealed a lot of information regarding the forthcoming Absolute Sandman collections: I don't think the extras in the trade paperbacks will be repeated in the Absolute Sandman volumes, mostly because I'd assume people probably have the books with the introductions in. We're looking at putting new stuff in, and we're not yet sure what it's going to be -- I'm going to try and find things like the original proposal and notes, perhaps the script to Sandman #1 for the first volume. Right now Danny Vozzo is recolouring the first 18 issues of Sandman to take advantage of modern printing techniques and to fix things we weren't happy with at the time. It's going to be a four book set, by the way, of about 600 pages per book, and I believe they'll come out over a couple of years. Gaiman's initial post was followed by this message: I just got an email from Scott Nybakken at DC Comics. Scott is editing the Absolute Sandman series, and there are a few pages where the black plate on the film is damaged or not easily usable. I mentioned to him that there are people out there with original Sandman art pages, and that some of you reading this might have the pages he needs... So he sent me a list. Neil -- Here are the pages we'd like to get good copies of the artwork on for PRELUDES & NOCTURNES: SANDMAN #3 -- pg. 3 SANDMAN #4 -- pgs, 1, 3-8, 11-17, 19-23 SANDMAN #7 -- pgs. 1-2, 8, 13-14, 19-21, 24 SANDMAN #8 -- pgs. 1-10, 13-15, 17-18, 21, 23-24 Thanks, Scott If any of you have any of these original pages, can you get in touch with Scott Nybakken, Scott.Nybakken@dccomics.com? (Also feel free to repost this in the places that comics original art collectors might be likely to see it.) (NOTE: this is original art, hand-drawn by Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg we're looking for, not old copies of the comic.) I'm sure that as he works his way through the book, he'll need more pages from later (especially Sandmans 15 and 16). Gaiman further elaborates on the books here, and he also mentions that the stories will be reprinted in order of publication, which means that the short stories from Fables and Nocturnes will appear as they did in the original series. And in a separate post, Gaiman reveals that there will be an Absolute Death "in a year or so." This Has A "Dream Hunters" Factor of Ten Out of Ten All Winners Minor SPOILERS ahead for Captain America. I know some of you squeamish about things like this, so consider this your warning ... The solicits for the May issue of Captain America mention that Cap will be going to Europe and "fighting side-by-side with some very old friends." What it didn't tell you was that the "friends" in question are The Invaders, who will be teaming with Cap for the first time since the whole "Winter Soldier" story started. I'm told that the most recent appearances of the Invaders (i.e. The New Invaders) will largely be ignored in this story to provide the characters with more of a fresh start. The first Invader to appear in the story arc shouldn't be hard to guess if you look at the cover for issue 18... This Has A "HINT, It's Not The Whizzer" Factor of Nine Out of Ten Finding Albion It's funny how one rumor can lead you to something you didn't expect to find. Case in point, there was a rumor that Chuck Dixon would be writing a crossover for Dynamite. I say "was" because there doesn't appear to be anything to it at the moment. But... while looking into that, I did hear that Leah Moore and John Reppion's first book for Dynamite will be a crossover with a "magic" related character... This Has A "Casting The Spell" Factor of Six Out of Ten Amok Time Speaking of Chuck Dixon, there have been a few interest developments on his message board as of late. First, Dixon related a story about the creation of Way of The Rat and El Cazador at CrossGen: I was visiting CrossGen on my second visit and hustled into Mark's office where I was told of a secret hush-hush deal with a Chinese telecom firm that would place CrossGen characters on the screens of millions of Chinese cell phones and net the company obscene profits. This was typical of the kind of pie in the sky insanity that was rampant at CG. We had an odious employee who would justify his continued employment by coming up with wild schemes like this and then keep the deals alive long after they were dead by simply pretending to be in negotiations. I was told that we needed a "Chinese book" to help attract possible Asian customers. By the end of my visit I had laid out the plans for Way of the Rat. I had to fight to keep Po Po as the mentor or whatever the hell we were calling these characters. I caved on keeping Boon and Po Po free of the Sigilverse. But was determined to set the series in as real a medieval Chinese setting as I could so that we would only have to change a few place names to set it on Earth. (I did the same in Brath) Jeff Johnson was hired and made the book click with his tremendous affinity for, and knowledge of, Asian culture and martial arts. It was a pure collaboration as my knowledge of this stuff was limited to HK action flicks I'd seen. El Caz was mine from the ground up and I had to fight to get it approved (this entailed an actual stand-off with Mark and me doing an end-run around every department to get Steve Epting off Crux). I also had to fight to get it as a standalone outside of the Sigilverse. I lied to the Sigilistas and told them that there would be clues for clever CG fans hidden in the books that would tie El Caz to the CG Universe. You'd have to be pretty damned clever to find them since I never included any. Did I like lying? No. But the company was squandering its potential and no one would budge from their petty and groundless opinions. In the end, my instincts were right and El Caz was our best selling title. The full text of Dixon's post also included other insights to his time at CrossGen which are quite interesting. You can check those out here. http://www.eboards4all.com/579787/messages/24285.html But the other bit of Dixon related news this week is related to the infamous American Power comic: Erik and I are trying to figure out how best to make these available. We're planning on presenting them as a download in exchange for a charitable donation to a charity that benefits our fighting guys and gals. News on this soon. Your donation will buy you both scripts as well as scans of the first two covers and a handful of completed pages from issue #1. This Has A "Raging Waters" Factor of Seven Out of Ten Turn This Motha Out Those of us who liked Spyboy should enjoy this: I've received some preview art from Pop Mhan's forthcoming TOKYOPOP book, Blank. From what I've been told about the book, it's got an espionage/secret agent in high school vibe similar to Spyboy, but stands on its own. The title "Blank" refers to the lead character who has "serious lapses" in his memory. This Has An "One Bad Soul Brotha Undercova" Factor of Nine Out of Ten Dead Man Still Walking Jason M. Burns and Bryan Baugh are putting out a full color OGN through Viper this April called The Expendable One. It's about an otherwise ordinary man who simply can't be killed, as he goes up against a serial killer. The creators have set up a fictional blog for the main character here http://www.vipercomics.com/features/the_expendable_one.asp This Has A "Back From The Dead" Factor of Eight Out of Ten Another Bang For The Buck I hear that Allen Berrebbi (former CFO of Future Comics) has signed on with Big Bang Comics to become their new "Director of Business Development and Marketing", which I'm told is part of a move to revamp the company and assist with future licensing deals. Presumably, they'll put out some Big Bang comics as well... This Has A "Retroactive Continuity" Factor of Six Out of Ten The New, New Avengers Over at his blog, http://parkerspace.blogspot.com/2006/02/marvel-adventures- avengers.html Jeff Parker has been providing some details about his latest Marvel Adventures book: Thanks to those of you who have written nice letters after seeing the latest Marvel solicits with the latest Adventures book, THE AVENGERS. We're starting with Manuel Garcia pencilling, and me (Jeff Parker, searcher enginers) writing, and Aaron Lopresti providing covers. Excellent art all the way around! Since the Adventures books are supposed to introduce new readers to the Marvel Heroes, the line up generally reflects the characters people might know from the movies, plus the two you have to have or it's not the Avengers, Iron Man and Captain America. Originally Giant-Man was offered to me with the line-up, but I really wanted more female characters and pleaded until Janet Van Dyne was allowed to take the big role, in case you're wondering who Giant-Girl is. Lookin' round the interweb, I see some people are still confusing Marvel Adventures with the MARVEL AGE books that have been gone for a while. The stories we do in Adventures are not retellings, they're new. Sometimes we introduce established characters as if new, because we just can't expect possible new readers to go back and absorb 40 years of continuity to figure out what's going on. So my focus is to present the characters as true to classic form as possible, because how things happen is more important than the facts of what happens. And they're not aimed at kids, though we really want kids reading them. And going by the great numbers the books do in retail stores outside the direct market, they are-- or someone is! If you want to get a sense of what the Avengers book will be like, pick up some of the latest Adventures Fantastic Four books by me and Manuel, that should get the tone across. Thanks again for all of you who've wrote looking forward to the book-- so am I!
