Death Day by Sam Hiti

Death Day by Sam Hiti.
An awesome sci-fi strip with lots of action, all done in a beautiful brush and ink style that Sam Hiti seems to perfect.
You can check out the first three chapters and prologue on his Death Day website for free.
There's also the collected first book available that contains chapter 4. Chapter 4 is huge. The battle gets epic.
I got myself a copy of the black band edition and it's beautifully presented. Take off the black band to get at the bug eyed insane Third Wave Commando Captain wrap-around dust jacket and a great original sketch inside. Goes nicely with the hand drawn cover of the Prologue book.

Who needs new comics day when you can have self published books sent straight from the artist with a unique hand drawn sketch in it.

Darth Adidas

Couldn't resist. Darth Vader Adidas from their new Star Wars range. The packaging designed to look like the Star Wars toys. Damn they are comfy after months of my wrecked skate shoes.

Love that soundtrack sample on the new advert.

Oh my grudd it's a drokkin Judge film!

This is drokkin awesome! That is artist Greg Staples as Judge Dredd? These amazing costume tests were made for a Judge Dredd Based fan film "Judge Minty" currently in production. Seriously how do I get one of them Judge helmets!! Which one of you Umpty Candy eating Sumps do I have to kill to get one?

I have got a serious nerd-on for this fan film. 2000AD was my first real comic. I think I was nine when 'prog 1' was given to me, and I grew up with it. And Judge Dredd is what kept me coming back for more. The art of Mick McMahon and Brian Bolland made Dredd what he is today and their work is what first really inspired me to want to draw. Judge Dredd is a total evil fascist who represents everything wrong with governments and the law gone wrong. But he's a total badass and takes no shit. Some of those early stories with all the subtle humour thrown in are just great. The world of Mega City 1 got crazier as time went on, and the world got bigger than Judge Dredds boots. How can you not love a bit of Dredd.
Fuck Hollywood's Stallone version, this is how the Dredd looks. This has got me more excited than them Twilight Moms drooling over 'team Jacob'

I think they have picked the perfect story to work with. 'Judge Minty' from 2000AD prog 147 by John Wagner and Mick McMahon (Complete case files vol.3). One of those stories that gives the world a bit of depth, and the judges some real character. I was so hoping that his story was going to carry on the week after and it didn't happen. So finally we will get to see old Minty take his first steps into the cursed earth.

Also check out the 'Minty' sketch by Mick McMahon back in February

Zarjaz!
