Don’t get mad — get The Rage!

Fangoria will be hosting a midnight screening TONIGHT of From Dusk Till Dawn creator Robert Kurtzman’s film, The Rage, at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills.

Not only will Kurtzman be in attendence, but so too will star Andrew Divoff. Fangoria will also be giving out copies of the Rage DVD, a limited edition Dr. V Life Mask, as well as copies of the Fangoria Graphix comic Beneath the Valley of the Rage — coincidentally enough, the associated editor on this book was none other fangorithan Blog@ and Best Shots captain Troy Brownfield.

The film chronicles the tale of Dr. Victor Vasilenko, whose brutal experiments with the Rage serum yielded some horrifying results. When these test subjects made their escape, their remains were consumed by vultures, creating some even worse monsters. You can see a trailer for the film right here:

Fangoria Graphix, the comics wing of the horror company, has just released a new trailer for their upcoming series Death Walks The Streets.

The horror/crime series follows the lives of Michael Labou, Danielle Dante, and Malcolm McDermot — by day, they’re members of the IBVM Union Local 666. By night, they’re a crew for “The Organization,” a crime syndicate terrorizing the city of New Marshall. But with vampires, werewolves, and zombies in town, the Organization isn’t the only scary group in town…

Both issue #0 and #1 of the series, written by James Zahn and Ben Brezinski and pencilled by Guilherme Balbi, is available to order on MerchDirect. The series is also in development for a full-length feature film.

FILE UNDER COMIC KILLERS:

NO CARNAL COMICS FOR YOU!!! Cherry and Demi the Demoness join the unemployment line; Archie, Jughead and the ‘Joes from ‘Drafted’ lookin’ real nervous…

By Scott Licina

Well, well, well, looks like it’s going to be harder to get your forbidden fruit fix at the local comic shop from now on, o’ frantic followers of XXXenophile and Cherry (and yes, Mr. Raven Gregory, I am looking at you).  It’s hard to believe that Adult Comic sales (what a misnomer- nearly ALL comics are “adult” comics now, and have been for over two decades) have tanked to the point that Diamond is doing away with the supplemental catalog, but I guess all the hassles Gordon Lee went through must have scared off more retailer dollars than I had imagined over the past few years.  Because it can’t be that all the 40 year old virgins who buy this stuff suddenly found girlfriends, can it? Maybe we should blame all the free hentai vids floatin’ around on the ‘Net- did video kill the comic porn star? (Shout out to The Buggles for the groovy play-on-song-lyrics op.  Betcha’ll be humming that the rest of the day…)
