Top Ten Hottest Writers in Comics
13 May 2013 12:48 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Disclaimer: Alan Moore is not found or mentioned in this article. (Except for now)
Wizard magazine used to be both a blessing and a curse to comics fans. It had exclusive interviews with creators and fun features, like “Casting Call” and “Top Ten Writers and Artists”, but it was also criticized for mainly focusing on Marvel and DC and for pandering to a “mainstream” audience. In this column, I will revive the “Top Ten Writers and Artists” for a new generation of comic book fans. Every few months, I will evaluate the current comics writers and artists that are innovating in their field, find success in multiple genres, or just putting out interesting stories on a monthly basis. These creators will range from Marvel to DC to Image and other independent publishers and will be listed in no particular order.

How Do You Talk to El Diablo?
28 April 2013 9:19 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
What do Left Behind, Little Nicky, Mister Frost, and Hellboy all have in common? They all feature the devil in either a starring or cameo role. Satan or Lucifer has long been a fascinating figure ever since John Milton’s Paradise Lost immortalized him. Not surprising in a bit of homage Al Pacino as Satan in The Devil’s Advocate call himself “John Milton.” But treatments of the devil have varied greatly. In The Devil Rides Out (1968), Christopher Lee faces off against a Satan cult but Satan himself only appears for a few brief moments.
Tim Curry’s devil in Legend, on the other hand, takes center stage in perhaps the wildest interpretation yet with his devil sporting huge cloven hooves and horns. But in the 1990s, the devil became more and more cynical and laid back. Gabriel Byrne in the End of Days plays him as a normal man »

What about Bob? Has the Age of Almost Great Villains Passed?
15 April 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Ah, Bob. He left us too soon. Not Bill Murray’s Bob Wiley of What about Bob fame but Bob of Batman (1989). Or as the Joker put it: “my number one … guy!” Poor Bob. The world is worse off due to his absence. He’s someone none us should have forgotten but have. He’s got his hits on Youtube but no plans to resurrect him even though he’s leagues ahead of Darkseid, who isn’t even on the radar of most moviegoer.
Originally, I admit this article had been geared to giving the so-called second stringers their due. But that is a bit distortive of the actual record because not all second stringers get forgotten. Just ask old Henry Kissinger. Or need one be reminded of Boba Fett’s massive cult? Nevertheless, too many both second-order and first-order baddies get left behind. Mr. Glass did a good job »

Check Out This Freaky Concept Art for the 'Paradise Lost' Movie That Never Happened
25 March 2013 1:15 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Concept designer Brian Matyas created art for the Alex Proyas' scrapped adaptation of John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost. The film was set for production about a year ago, but budget concerns overwhelmed the story about Lucifer's descent into hell and transformation into the Satan. Proyas' plan to create elaborate sets for Heaven, Hell, and the Garden of Eden had already reached a $100 million budget — and as well all know, these numbers are never that firm. Legendary Pictures feared increases, and paradise was indeed lost. Fans of The Crow and Dark City director Alex Proyas were excited to see him take on a project of this scope. His penchant for dark, textured visuals would have been a great addition to the action-packed biblical drama, which is now...

Cool Concept Art for Alex Proyas' Dead Project Paradise Lost
24 March 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
I would have loved to see Alex Proyas be able to make this Paradise Lost movie. It sounded like it was going to be awesome, and now we've got some really cool concept art done for the film that shows us what could have been.
Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) was supposed to play Lucifer in the film, which was to be based on the epic 17th-century poem by John Milton. It would have been an epic-sized movie about good vs. evil, and it tells the story of the war in heaven between archangels Michael and Lucifer, including the latter's role in Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Here's the official synopsis:
Lucifer and Michael, God's greatest archangels, share the bond of extraordinary friendship until God produces his greatest creation: Man. Unable to remain subservient to God if it means bowing down to humanity, Lucifer begins his dark descent and is »

Scoop: Epic Concept Art From Alex Proyas' Defunct Paradise Lost
22 March 2013 7:03 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
In February of 2012, Legendary Pictures finally pulled the plug on the big-budget movie, Paradise Lost. The film was a big screen adaptation of John Milton's 17th century poem. Director Alex Proyas ("The Crow") had planned to use the most advanced 3D and motion capture technology to bring the biblical saga to life. But, in the end the budget concerns were too complicated to overcome. Legendary tried numerous times to rework the numbers to get it below $120 million, but it was too daunting a task. At the heart of the issue, was the enormous amount of visual effects that were required for the celestial battles, that involved massive aerial warfare. Official Synopsis: Lucifer and Michael, God's greatest archangels, share the bond of extraordinary friendship until God produces his greatest creation: Man. Unable to remain subservient to God if it means bowing down to humanity, Lucifer begins his dark descent and »
Leveson's liberal friends bring shame upon the left | Nick Cohen
18 March 2013 2:34 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
MPs who vote to regulate the press tomorrow are siding against the principles they're meant to uphold
We are in the middle of a liberal berserker, one of those demented moments when "progressives" run riot and smash the liberties they are meant to defend. Inspired by Lord Justice Leveson, they are prepared in Parliament tomorrow to sacrifice freedom of speech, freedom of the press and fair trials. They are prepared to allow every oppressive dictatorship on the planet to say: "We're only following the British example" when outsiders and their own wretched citizens protest.
Try warning them that one day they and this country will regret their hooliganism and they reply in the sing-song voice of a child in a playground: "Well, that's what Murdoch and Dacre want you to say." It's no good pointing out that Murdoch and Dacre are tired old men from a dying newspaper industry and »

Eat your heart out, John Milton.Beautiful Creatures, The Mortal Instruments, Daughter of Smoke, Matched... the list of young-adult fiction on, or en route to the big screen is swelling so quickly Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer will burn out trying to come up with terrible spoofs quickly enough.

Do These 5 Oscar-Winning Actors Need To Call It Quits?
4 February 2013 3:23 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Right so Oscars.
Only in Hollywood can winning the highest acclaimed award in your chosen field actually be a bad thing for your career.
I’m going to mention actors who are loved, that have been apart our lives since we can remember. From the kidnappings, the murders, the weight gains, the whole shaabang… Not forgetting of course actors who even Hayden Christensen could out act, but before I begin, I want to make this clear… Like Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, this doesn’t mean some of these winners weren’t great, it doesn’t mean they still can’t be great, this just means that they haven’t been great for a long while.
5. Al Pacino
Don Michael Corleone, John Milton, Carlito ‘Charlie’ Brigante, Big Boy Caprice – the list goes on.
This is Al Pacino: The man, the actors actor, a guy who’s voice feels like Zeus judging »
