Writer-Director Joston Theney Announces New ‘Axeman’ Comic

Axeman is gearing up for battle against “Satan’s Whores”. This morning, Axeman trilogy writer and director Joston Ramon Theney (interview) confirmed the release of #SinningWorks’ first comic book, scheduled to hit shelves this Fall. The one-off comic follows two surviving characters of Axeman 2: Overkill as well as a returning character from the original Axeman film. It’s been a wild ride to get to this point – never having worked in comics before but luckily I’ve had a great artist to work with,” Theney said. “This story was originally just a simple bridge between the events of OVERKILL and ABSOLUTION but has become so much more. It continues the journey of Kesha and Sunshine and shows you that there was more than meets the eye to their relationship and their relationship with Denise from the first film. “Theney went on to say, “The comic also paves the way for a more substantive conclusion to the trilogy for the upcoming AXEMAN

Clementine’s Journey Will End In ‘The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series’

The first video game adaptation of the television series “The Walking Dead”, that seems to be more popular than the show itself, will be coming to an end. The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series is an episodic interactive drama that takes place at the same time as the television series, some of the characters of the show have made appearances in one of the installments. The game’s art resembles a comic book style, paying homage to the Walking Dead comic book series that inspired the show. Players watch the story unravel and at times have to make decisions for the characters that at times will determine how the story will unfold. The final season of the Telltale series will again focus on Clementine, a girl who was the sidekick of the main protagonist of the first season Lee. Clementine becomes the series main protagonist after the end of the first season. In the third season, she’s one of two characters

The ‘Goosebumps’ book franchise was my introduction to horror as a very small child and as I grew a bit, I got really into R. L. Stine’s ‘Fear Street’ collection. In 2014, after a 15 year hiatus, ‘Fear Street’ returned! Now, Stine’s newest novel gets its cover art released. In ‘The Wrong Girl” “Poppy Miller swears she will get payback for Jack Sabers’s cruel prank that humiliated her in front of all her friends. Then her classmates start turning up dead.
