Directed by James McTeigue, V for Vendetta has found itself among the classics of pop culture while also making a significant cultural impact in the form of the Guy Fawkes' mask. Although the conceptual existence of the Fawkes' mask dates back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, it was V for Vendetta that reintroduced it to the world as anarchical iconography. More specifically, it was the graphic novel of the same name that the 2005 film was based on that popularized the mask and its attached ideology again. This cult classic was illustrated by David Lloyd and written by Alan Moore, who was directly inspired by Fawkes' fight against an oppressive state during the Gunpowder Plot. With overt historical references, it is easy to believe that the narrative was based on a true story, but it actually was not. Instead, Moore was inspired by certain historical events and previous political parties, he...

Remember, remember the fifth of October — the day news broke that a V for Vendetta TV series is reportedly in the works. Alan Moore and David Lloyd‘s seminal graphic novel may get the small screen treatment, after getting a movie adaptation in 2005 starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. While Moore has denounced any and all […]

It’s been quite a while since I’ve plopped my butt down on an airline seat. There are several reasons for this, the primary one being I loathe being treated like shit.

As we have seen from all too many recent incidents, once onboard airplane employees have complete control over your fate. If you do not promptly obey their every command or, say, object to their anti-peanut policy, they can and will have you arrested. If somebody on the plane thinks you look weird, or you look like a Muslim or some other type of person they find noxious, they will complain to a flight attendant. If you have yet to take-off, the airplane Nazis will call the goon squad and have you taken off the plane, sometimes by force. If you’re in the air, you likely will be arrested when the plane lands. Paranoid Fox News watchers,...

Remember, remember the fifth of November.

We first heard these words upon the opening of a little film called V for Vendetta, that was released ten years ago today. Based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd and Tony Weare, the premise centers on an anarchist named V, who sets out to murder his former captors, bring down the government, and train his protégé Evey—all while sporting a Guy Fawkes mask.

The film starred Natalie Portman with her famously shaved head, and Hugo Weaving as V. Together, they made this graphic novel adaptation into a cult classic, and a film that still resonates, maybe even stronger than ever, today.

Graphic novels are extremely popular, and they’re the perfect source for a film adaptation. The story and the visuals are essentially laid out for the filmmaker, and these adaptations are often incredibly true to the original work.

"V for Vendetta" has only come to look more prophetic in the decade since its release on March 17, 2006.

The adaptation of the Alan Moore/David Lloyd graphic novel, starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman as a vengeful anarchist and his protege fighting a fascist government in a near-future England, proved to be the biggest critical and commercial success for producers the Wachowskis since "The Matrix." It also popularized the Guy Fawkes mask that has been a favorite of real-life protesters worldwide.

As iconic as the movie became, "Vendetta" ran into numerous obstacles during its production -- and many controversies upon its release. Here are ten things you need to know about the fan-favorite.

1. After making three "Matrix" movies, Andy and Larry Wachowski (now Lilly and Lana, respectively) dusted off a screenplay for "Vendetta" they'd written years earlier, before they had the clout to make it. Wanting a break from directing,...

This is a special day at La Casa del Oro. It’s my daughter’s birthday. Adriane Nash, also a ComicMixer (if you wonder how she got that job, I strongly suspect years and years of working at and managing comic book stores played a significant part), turns… ah, it’s not my place to say. But she’s one year older than she was yesterday.

Adriane was born on November 5th due, in no small part, to her mother Linda’s fantastic sense of humor. In case you didn’t know, November 5th is also Guy Fawkes Day.

If you’re not an anarchist you might not know about Guy Fawkes. According to Wiki (as well as a couple dozen books in my library, just in case you’re uncertain of my politics) he was a member of a group of English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot...

The upcoming Bryan Talbot documentary has released a trailer.

Digital Story Engine will release the Graphic Novel Man: The Comics of Bryan Talbot on DVD and digitally in May.

Legendary writer Michael Moorcock - a close friend of the comics creator - has provided an introduction to the film.

Interviewees for the documentary also include David Lloyd, Andy Diggle, Joe Sacco, Neil Gaiman, Pat Mills, John Wagner, Hunt Emerson, Paul Gravett and Warren Ellis.

The Graphic Novel Man centres around the life and four decades of Talbot's career, which encompasses The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, The Tale of One Bad Rat and Alice in Sunderland.

His collaboration with wife Mary Talbot, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, won the 2013 Costa Biography Award, and he continues to work on the Grandville series.

Talbot's work is current on display at West London's The Muse at 269.

The Double

Written & Directed by Richard Ayoade

UK, 2013

The Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky has been well served by cinema, especially his major works Crime & Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Idiot, all of which have received numerous adaptations throughout the decades. The latter was lavished with a recent Estonian take, after receiving a Japanese decoding by Kurosawa no less, as well as Indian and (naturally) Soviet versions. It has taken until 2013 for a filmmaker brave enough to approach Dostoyevsky’s binary second novel; there is a certain numerical sense of doubling, since Richard Ayoade has decided to allocate his second film as The Double, an ambitiously promising plea following Submarine back in 2010.

Abandoning the novel’s Russian setting, Ayoade’s take is set in some strange alternate Orwellian state, complete with slightly outsized costumes and angled hairstyles, creaking teak-panelled analogue technology, greyly oblique architecture and a smothering suffocation of legislative red tape.

Steve Niles, Matt Pizzolo, and Brett Gurewitz are getting into the comic book publishing game with the new comic book company, Black Mask Studios.

They want the label to be indicative of their punk roots, and put the onus on the creators.

Pizzolo: “Comics has a troubled history with its treatment of creators…our goal is to bring the supportive ethic of record labels like Epitaph, Dischord, and Revelation to comics.” Niles: “Brett, Matt, and I all came up in the Diy punk scene…And we’re bringing that kind of attitude to this… the constructive part about supporting voices who are talking about real things but in a bold and exciting way. We’re not afraid to bring in activism and politics and counterculture. What publisher today could be bringing out the next V For Vendetta? Nobody.“

The trio’s new venture start with a bang, with four new series in May,...

We first told you about Black Mask Studios, a hybrid digital/physical release model that planned on distributing content through multiple pipelines including mass market and direct-to-fan as well as the existing comics market, way back in March of 2012.

Today some big names have come together to make it official.

THR is reporting that Black Mask Studios -- the recently formed transmedia publishing company founded by comic book writer Steve Niles, entrepreneur and transmedia production shingle Halo-8's Matt Pizzolo and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz -- has recruited some of comics' biggest guns to help create its first wave of comic book titles.

Among the luminaries participating are Watchmen co-creator Alan Moore, V for Vendetta artist David Lloyd, Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus creator Art Spiegelman, The Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard, Mike Allred (Madman), Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night), J.M. DeMatteis (Justice League, Spider-Man), Molly Crabapple (Shell Game) and Wu-Tang Clan...

Yes, believe it or not American readers, the 5th of November was observed long before Alan Moore and David Lloyd ever penned the now famous mask in the 1982 comic. Since the release of V For Vendetta the modern representation of the mask has been the primary image of every protest in the 21st century, but what was it like before? Well for starters, the 5th of November was not traditionally celebrated in memory of Guy Fawkes but more or less his failure to destroy the status quo in England. 

Yes, back in the day effigies of Fawkes were set ablaze by children and fireworks set off along the streets to celebrate the triumph of British society and the discovery of the plot before it came to fruition. The event itself is referenced loosely in other pieces of literature besides the graphic novels such as John Milton's Paradise Lost and William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

I like anthology comics. For one thing, that’s how the comic book medium started – single-character comics didn’t really start until about six years down the road. For another, the anthology format reinvented comics with 2000Ad back in the mid-1970s. Today, the anthology format is all but gone, with the notable – and highly laudable – exception of Dark Horse Presents, Creator-Owned Comics and a handful of others.

I like electronic publishing in general and electronic comics publishing in specific. I am a well-known advocate of the movement, at least in my own mind. Well before e-comics became real, I had a debate with my pal and oft-time co-conspirator Mark Wheatley, one of the most innovative and hardest-working people in the known universe. Mark advocated the potential of e-comics expanding the medium by incorporating effects that would move the medium past the boundaries imposed by print. Whereas I agreed with that position,...

David Lloyd has discussed his new digital comics anthology Aces Weekly. The V for Vendetta writer explained the new project - which is intended to be "like the weeklies of old" - and his Valley of Shadows strip. "Valley of Shadows is something of a relaxation for me - at least that's how it was meant to be," he told Forbidden Planet International. "One of a series of serial stories and shorts in an online version of the sort of comic that no-one can do economically any more in the UK - or elsewhere probably - the kind of weekly that used to exist here in diminishing numbers up to the beginning of the '80s, before British comics publishers completely gave up the ghost on something they'd had no real faith in creatively for many years anyway, opening the door for a mass exodus of some of the finest...

V for Vendetta co-creator David Lloyd has unveiled a new digital anthology. The veteran British artist will team with Bambos Georgiou on Aces Weekly, reports downthetubes.net.

30 Days of Night writer Steve Niles and Epitaph Records CEO/Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz are joining Halo-8 president/Godkiller writer Matt Pizzolo to form new comics outfit Black Mask Studios with the aim of disrupting the comics market.

From the Press Release:

Niles (pictured) will serve as creative director with Pizzolo as president, and Gurewitz's Epitaph Records will power the operation.

"Comics have become this monopolized walled garden where you're only allowed to grow two things: superheroes and movie treatments," said Pizzolo. "We're going to open a new space outside the entrenched market where we can cultivate more subversive, experimental, and literary comics to reach broader audiences."

"With both Godkiller and 30 Days of Night, we discovered a large community of readers outside the comic market who really had no idea how to get comics," said Niles. "This is a way to reach those people again and expand the comic reading audience.

Alan Moore, the legendary comics malcontent and wizard (really), has teamed with Occupy Comics, a group of comic book creators who have joined forces to support the Occupy Wall Street protestors. It's said the pen is mightier than the sword, but is the wand? Perhaps we'll now find out.

Among the other writers and artists participating are Mike Allred, Shannon Wheeler, Dean Haspiel, Charlie Adlard, Marc Andreyko, J. M. DeMatteis, Joseph Michael Linsner, Steve Niles, Tim Seeley, Ben Templesmith, Amanda Palmer, Darick Robertson and David Lloyd, with whom Moore created the Ows fave V for Vendetta.

As a show of support, Occupy Comics is creating a Kickstarter-funded anthology that will be "a time capsule of the passions and emotions driving the movement" and will "tell the stories of the people who are out there putting themselves at risk for an idea."

Moore is planning to contribute a prose piece that...

Getty Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg delivers a keynote address during the Facebook f8 conference on September 22, 2011 in San Francisco, California.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Facebook is considering an Ipo in the spring with an initial valuation of $100,000,000,000. As the Journal’s Digits blog reports, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg could gain around $24,000,000,000 in net worth from an Ipo at that value. And, as Venture Capital Dispatch reports, Facebook seems to be gearing up to do the Ipo with minimal involvement from investment banks,...

I'd been dimly aware of the re-appropriation of the sinister Guy Fawkes mask from Alan Moore and David Lloyd's "V for Vendetta" graphic novel -- and, of course, its Wachowski-branded 2006 film adaptation -- as a symbol of protest by present-day political and environmental demonstrators. I have only recently begun noticing it in the real world, however. As the Occupy movement took shape -- in the past few weeks, chiming in neatly with Guy Fawkes Day (November 5) three weeks ago, I've spotted that leeringly stylized visage stencilled on more than a few walls in London, including one on my own...

We already knew artist David Lloyd visited Occupy Wall Street when he was in town for the New York Comic Con and liked what he saw– now The Guardian has asked Alan Moore, the other half of the creative team of V for Vendetta how he feels about the image of V being used as the symbol of protest and revolution in the 21st century.

“I suppose when I was writing V for Vendetta I would in my secret heart of hearts have thought: wouldn’t it be great if these ideas actually made an impact? So when you start to see that idle fantasy intrude on the regular world… It’s peculiar. It feels like a character I created 30 years ago has somehow escaped the realm of fiction.”

V for Vendetta tells of a future Britain (actually 1997, nearly two decades into the future when Moore wrote it) under the heel of a dictatorship.

From Wall St to Athens and Occupy sit-ins worldwide, protesters are wearing masks inspired by V for Vendetta. Here, its author discusses why his avenging hero has such potency today

The comic-book writer Alan Moore is not usually surprised when his creations find a life for themselves away from the printed page. Strips he penned in the 1980s and 90s have been fed through the Hollywood patty-maker, never to his great satisfaction, resulting in both critical hits and terrible flops; fads for T-shirts, badges and shouted slogans have emerged from characters and conceits he has dreamed up for titles such as Watchmen and From Hell. "I suppose I've gotten used to the fact," says the 58-year-old, "that some of my fictions percolate out into the material world."

But Moore has been caught off-guard in recent years, and particularly in 2011, by the inescapable presence of a certain mask being worn at protests around the world.

Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s V For Vendetta continues to inspire as a symbol of resistance. Here’s the latest version.

L.A. street artist Shepard Fairey has released a second original design for the Occupy Wall Street movement — and this time, instead of playing it safe with a wistful scene out of an Angela Davis documentary, he’s given his own (in)famous Hope poster from Obama’s first election campaign a rebellious makeover.

It uses all the same colors and graphic-design aesthetics as the original. Only difference is, Fairey has replaced President Obama’s heavenward gaze with a “V for Vendetta” Guy Fawkes mask — one of the key props used by Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Across the bottom, the poster reads…

… “Mister President, we Hope you’re on our side” (little passive-aggressive there?), and it’s stamped with a “We are the 99 percent” logo.

For one last dose of irony,...

The Sidekick Foundation is a new confederacy that seeks to generously aid comics creators in need of financial and medical assistance. Sidekick’s board of directors and advisors consists of established, respected comics professionals who have agreed to support the organization’s initiative which, in its first year, shall be to donate 90% of all generated proceeds directly to those in need.

“Sidekick was established by Clifford Meth, whose work on behalf of comics creators in need is well known,” said Jim Reeber, president of Aardwolf Publishing and Secretary of Sidekick. “By adding the weight of some of the industry’s most respected names to his own, I believe Cliff can help more people than ever before and do so more effectively.”

“I’ve spent the last three years working for well-known charities and non-profits,” said Meth, a former Executive V.P. of Idw Publishing and recent spokesman for Kars4Kids.

Facing insurmountable obstacles with Earth's survival hanging in the balance is an everyday occurrence for the modern superhero.

Publishing giant DC Comics is taking on its own world-shattering challenge in the form of an all-new, 52-title reboot, which hits the reset button on the entire DC Universe and leaves the publisher's future position in the industry at stake.

Amid reactions ranging from optimism to harsh criticism, all of the 52 No1 issues are hitting retail shelves throughout this month. One title drawing interest, due to the popular creative team and its use of a well-liked but underused character, is Captain Atom.

Written and drawn by DC veterans Jt Krul (Green Arrow) and Freddie Williams II (Robin, The Flash), Captain Atom follows the journey of a man possessing vast godlike powers while walking amongst men and asks the question: What will become of his humanity?

While comic book fans already loved Natalie Portman in the Wachowskis' take on Alan Moore and David Lloyd's V For Vendetta and are looking forward to her playing Jane Foster in Kenneth Branagh's Thor , the critical and awards heat she's been getting for her role in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan has put the 17-year acting vet's name on everyone's lips. Two of the many movies she's been rumored to be in line for are Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's upcoming tentpole movies, Zack Snyder's Superman: The Man of Steel and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises . In an interview for this week's Oscar issue of Entertainment Weekly , Portman denied the rumors about her appearing in either (or both) films. When asked about Superman, she told them: "What is...

Tonight, the FX Network showed V for Vendetta, the 2006 Wachowski Brothers film based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

While watching V For Vendetta, I realized that the movie has one of the coolest domino-knockdown scenes ever. The pattern was created using thousands of black and red dominoes, which form the shape of a V within a circle -- the symbol of the film's protagonist, V (played by Hugo Weaving) -- and took four professional domino assemblers 200 hours to build.

In a pivotal sequence in the film, we see the vigilante V finishing up the pattern, while Inspector Finch (Stephen Rea) tells a colleague what he thinks V's plans are (there's also flashes to the chaos in the city that V has already caused). The montage then shows V "touching-off" the domino pattern in what results in a visually stunning moment in the film.

In reviewing Moon, I think I said all I really need to say on sci-fi flicks for the purpose of this list:

As a former card-carrying scientist, and perpetual geek-nerd, I love science fiction. Which is why I hate most science fiction movies -- like a fucking vampire, they suck all the goodness out of the genre and then take a big steamer on the leftover corpse. Science fiction done right isn't just about high-gloss technology, aliens, dystopia, alternate histories, nanotechnology, clones, robots, time travel, space travel, spaceships and off-world exploration, etc. Sure, great science fiction often has one or more of these elements and, done right, that stuff is f'ing cool. But the best science fiction uses these themes and elements, or ones like them, as tools to explore. From Mary Shelley to Asimov, Pohl, Heinlein, and Gibson, from Kubrick to Ridley Scott to Joss Whedon, the science fiction genre,...

On this day in 1605, Sir Thomas Knyvet, a justice of the peace, found Guy Fawkes in a cellar below the English Parliament building, involved in a plot to blow up Parliament itself. The day was later known as "Guy Fawkes Day" and served as an inspiration for Alan Moore and David Lloyd's graphic novel, V for Vendetta.

Today the folks across the pond remember, remember the fifth of November in honor of a sense of independence and a shaking of fists at British authority. While we reserve fireworks for summery July 4th, today is their excuse to blow things up and set things on fire. Really, every country should follow some such tradition of blowing things up in good spirits, but in light of recent world politics, let's not go there. 

Or if we do, let's wear an awesome mask while we're at it.

Mostly, it seems to me, that tales of Covers Starlog Didn’T Do (or at least the ones I’ve told here so far) focus on the long-ago past and far-away. Cocoon. Edward Scissorhands. The Princess Bride. I’m not sure what the main reason for this is—selective memory? Amnesia?—although I sorta think after years of experience as Editor, I got smarter (i.e. more savvy about what could go wrong). I didn’t promise a cover to a studio without underlining that interviews would have to quickly happen and appropriate cover-worthy pix be provided on a timely basis. If I had an inkling that publisher(s) might object to the subject matter, I’d caveat that fact (and check prior-to-promise with the publisher). And, usually, I had a back-up plan.

Here’s a more recent Cover Story (from 2005-6) that didn’t go according to plan. It concerns V For Vendetta,...

Last time on on The Flickcast, your favorite trio of talented talkers discussed a whole slew of topics including the T.J. Hooker movie, the “Red Band” trailer for Jennifer’s Body featuring Megan Fox, rumors of a new, live-action Star Wars TV series and much more.

This week, Chris, Matt and Christina are back and hit the ground running with a brand new episode. Some of the many topics this week include Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern, Natalie Portman in Thor, AMC’s reboot of the classic The Prisoner TV series, the potential Smallville Superman movie and much much more!

The team also makes more picks this week including Christina’s pick of survival show I Survived, Matt’s pick of another BBC called Being Human and Chris’ pick of the movie V for Vendetta, adapted from the graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

As always, if you have comments,...

Have you ever overheard (or gotten caught in the middle of) an argument between a certain type of fan of mainstream English-language comics and a similar type of fan of Japanese anime and manga? Many of us know a Comic Book Guy who dismisses all anime and manga as nothing more than giant robot fights and salacious encounters of big-eyed schoolgirls with tentacle monsters. Then there’s Mr. Otaku, who dismisses the majority of comics and cartoons (especially American ones) as empty slugfests between over-muscled thugs in spandex.

In reality, both art forms actually have a lot of threads in common. The word “anime” is simply the Japanese word for “animation” (or “cartoons”). The word “manga” is simply the Japanese word used to describe what we usually call “comic books” or “graphic novels.” There’s really no fundamental value judgment inherent in any of these words, which simply describe a type of medium,...

Call him what you want; an artist, a genius, a visionary, a loon, or just a guy that looks a lot like Rasputin, but whatever you call Alan Moore these days you better include the words "influential" and "hot Hollywood property." For me though, the man, his personal work, and his thoughts far outweigh the films that have been made out of his work (though I admit to really liking V For Vendetta). Alan Moore is also extremely hard to get in front of a microphone and even harder to get on camera. He doesn't care about fame and couldn't be arsed to followed the news of how films of his work do at the box office which is why this DVD is actually on my radar. Somehow though, director DeZ Vylenz and The Disinformation Company got Moore to sit down to a 2 hour interview around which they made the documentary in question.
