MARVEL'S INHUMANS VS. X-MEN
Marvel Comics has announced a December launch for Inhumans vs. X-Men, from writers Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule, with art by Leinil Yu.
Here's how Marvel describes the series:
"As the Terrigen Mists roll across the Earth, birthing new Inhumans and poisoning the planet's mutants, time has run out! Terrigen is on the verge of reaching a saturation point in the Earth's atmosphere. The X-Men have one choice -- destroy the mists, or risk the planet becoming permanently poisonous to their kind. With their backs to the wall, it's take action now...or become extinct forever.
"United together, the entire mutant race stages a desperate final strike. There's only one problem -- the Inhumans won't go down without a fight. And they're calling in everyone! The Royal Family, the Nuhumans, Ms. Marvel, Quake and even Moon Girl!"
"Tensions have been rising between the X-Men and the Inhumans for a long time," said Axel Alonso, Marvel's editor-in-chief Axel Alonso. "Now they've reached the boiling point and both sides have everything to lose. Charles, Jeff and Leinil are bringing the fireworks for a cataclysmic confrontation that answers the inevitable question: 'Is the Marvel Universe big enough for Inhumans AND Mutants'?"
SWORD OF WOOD
Chuck Dixon and film production company Framelight Productions have announced the upcoming publication of Dixon's latest epic graphic novel, Sword of Wood, which will be illustrated by Michael Bergkvist and Neal Adams. Scout Comics will publish the graphic novel.
"I'm so pleased to see this project coming to life in this way. From the format and publisher to working with a legendary talent like Neal Adams, it's all very exciting," Dixon said.
The book is already set up to be produced as a motion picture by Framelight Productions and producers Jeffrey D. Erb and Robert L. Robinson, Jr., along with Scott Mednick.
Here's how the OGN is described:
"The book follows a landed baron and Knight of Christ who battles in the Holy Lands at the time of the First Crusade. He longs to return home to his holdings in Saxony. With his squire, he journeys to his manor and village only to find the fields and hovels empty and his wife and children gone. The Knight learns that a rampaging horde of monsters has swept down on villages to kill and abduct all they find. They are an army of vampires and their ranks swell with each attack.
"He cannot know if his wife and children have been taken as feed stock or have joined the blood-sucking host, and can only follow the path of destruction left behind by the undead army. To do battle with these creatures, the Knight carves a sword from the wood of a sacred tree. Along with his squire and a rogue friar, the Knight will go to the ends of the earth to save or redeem his loved ones."
The screenplay adaptation has been written by Robert L. Robinson, Jr, Andrew Ord and Steve Ovington.
