'Twilight'-Teasing Webcomic Inspires Different Take On 'Team Edward'... For A Good Cause

Posted 3/24/10 4:30 pm EST by in News


Team EdwardI don't know whether I'm "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob," but I do know I love these shirts.

Inspired by a November 2009 "Hijinks Ensue" webcomic, the shirts feature the "Team Edward" design well-known to "Twilight" fans, but instead of Edward Cullen's dreamy visage, they feature Admiral William Adama himself, Edward James Olmos. And I must have one.

"You can have your sparkling, fangless Twilight vampires. There's only one 'Edward' whose team I want to be on," reads the ad for the shirts, which today joined the offerings on the hub of all webcomics merch, TopatoCo. "Whether he's inspiring inner city kids, tracking down replicants or leading the Colonial Fleet to victory against the Cylons, EJO has always got your back. Shouldn't you return the favor?"

'The Guild' #1 Review: Felicia Day Brings Cyd's Origin Story To Comics

Posted 3/24/10 3:01 pm EST by in Dark Horse, Review


The GuildTo be honest, it's a bit surprising that it's taken this long for "The Guild" creator and "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" actress Felicia Day to make her debut in the comics world. An eternally multitasking creator involved with an endless array of geek-friendly projects, Day somehow found time to write a three-issue comic based on her award-winning online series.

In my interview with Day last week, she described "The Guild" as an origin story of sorts for her character in the Web series, Cyd Sherman, a gamer who juggles drama in both her online and offline worlds while trying to level up in the biggest quest of all: life.

Published by Dark Horse Comics, "The Guild" features a story by Day and art by "Street Angel" creator Jim Rugg. The first issue hit shelves today. Read More...

In a profile on Costume Designers Guild, Ambrosino stated that the costumes in "Thor" are "strangely enough, very theatrical. There is a lot of fantasy in the different worlds that Thor lives in."

"The characters that populate that world are fantastical but not superheroes, which is great," she explained. "There is a heightened realism."

Ambrosino also indicated that she is utilizing her metalsmithing experience in the creation of the armor and jewelry. Read More...

'Wanted 2' Will Replace Angelina Jolie With New Characters And 'Different Fraternities,' Says Mark Millar

Posted 3/23/10 6:29 pm EST by in News, Top Cow, Video


By Sujay Kumar

One thing's for sure: if/when "Wanted 2" hits theaters, Angelina Jolie will not be taking a shot at rising from the dead.

MTV News caught up with "Wanted" co-creator Mark Millar at the South By Southwest Film Festival to get his thoughts on how the "Wanted 2" story and its fraternity of assassins will move forward without Jolie's character, and why the answer could lie in the introduction of other fraternities around the world.

"They killed off the most recognizable character, but I thought it was great to do that," Millar told MTV News. "It was so ballsy to kill off the one person you didn't expect to die." Read More...
