The mystery and madness of...
Son of Dangerous Universe

Frank Darabont spent five fruitless years of pitching an idea for a zombie television series. But he's back on Hollywood’s A-list after The Walking Dead, which he created from Robert Kirkman’s original comic book, generated higher ratings in its first season than any of AMC’s previous original shows. Now Darabont has two Hollywood Guild award nominations to go with his three Oscar nods for writing and directing The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. He talks about his longtime love affair with the undead with Deadline TV Contributor Ray Richmond.

Falling Skies

After two episodes, I think the TNT series Falling Skies is very good. Battlestar Galactica + The Walking Dead = Falling Skies

Post-Apocalyptic TV

While films have never shied away from dealing with the apocalypse and what comes after, that hasn't always been the case for TV series. Call it an aversion to negativity or not knowing how to keep a story about the end of the world rolling for 24 episodes a year over six or seven years, very few TV series have dealt with the apocalypse in any meaningful way. Lately though, this has started to change.

To be sure, there were a few apocalyptic series from the past but not many.

The Walking Dead

I'm not crazy about the Rick figure, I think he looks a bit constipated, but the rest are nice

The Rocketeer 20th Anniversary Poster

The main image is taken from the first issue of the second The Rocketeer comic, but the poster is still cool none-the-less!

Doc Savage

It looks like a new Doc Savage book is in the works

The Desert Demons
by Will Murray & Lester Dent writing as Kenneth Robeson

The skies over California explode with blood-red energies that resemble demon cyclones, but behave like intelligent life.

Nothing can stand in their terrible path. Men, machines, even buildings are devoured by the all-destroying Desert Demons. What are they? What do they want?

Far away in his Fortress of Solitude, Doc Savage receives the summons to danger. Radioing his small band of fighting specialists, the mighty bronze man orders them to rush to Los Angeles, prepared to combat the otherworldly menace.

But this time it's different. This time it's personal…

For one of their own has fallen victim to the unstoppable, unearthly things.
