Dakness Vs. Eva interview and previews

With issue #1 of our new four part Dynamite/Top Cow crossover scheduled to arrive in stores in a few weeks we spoke to Shaun Manning over at Comic Book Resources about the upcoming series.

In this corner, Top Cow’s tortured mobster-turned-hero Jackie Estacado, wielder of The Darkness; and in that corner, the challenger, from the pages of “Army of Darkness” and her own Dynamite Entertainment one-shot, Eva, Daughter of Dracula! Refereeing this Edgar Salazar-illustrated match-up are writers Leah Moore & John Reppion, who spoke with CBR News about March's Dynamite miniseries “Darkness vs. Eva” and the dangerous subject of what’s up next.

George A. Romero Interview

As some of you might already know, the multi talented chap that is George Khoury is now writing a column for Comic Book Resources entitled POP!

George has a fantastic interview just up with the legendary George A. Romero which he was kind enough let me help out with (a little). With Diary of the Dead soon to be released it seemed like the perfect opportunity to pick the great man's brains.

Visit http://comicbookresources.com/columns/index.cgi?column=pop&article=2992 to read the interview.

Raise the Dead hardcover out now! [edit]

"[Raise the Dead] thrilled me, captivated me, angered
me in places, and left me thinking, knowing, that as I switched off the light,
and lay alone in the dark, that somewhere out there, was a pair of red glowing
eyes."

-- Max Brooks (author of World War Z and
The Zombie Survival Guide) in his introduction to the Hardcover
edition of Raise the Dead.
