Hello and welcome to the first instalment of Talk Panels to Me. This is my corner of the world to shine a light on those putting their collective heart and souls into the world of creator-owned/self-published comics. The aim is to focus on the best of British, with the occasional venture across the pond and maybe further afield. Maybe my line of questions will gain online notoriety and a well-established name will throw their hat into the ring…

First up, we have writer John Lees, who is about to unleash Orla! from Mad Cave Studios onto comic shop shelves. In recent years, he has had success with Hotell! from Awa. As well as The Nasty from Vault Comics, which was a love letter of sorts to his Scottish youth. Another series set in Scotland is Sink, which has finished its third successful Kickstarter campaign in recent months. So on with the questioning…...

Oni Press is proud to present a look inside the sequel to the cyberpunk hit series Cemetery Kids Don’t Die. The dystopian digital realm from Zac Thompson (Into the Unbeing – Parts 1 & 2) and Daniel Irizarri (EC’s Cruel Universe, Judge Dredd) continues in Cemetery Kids Run Rabid #1.

In the new series:

One year ago, four friends barely escaped the unrelenting terror of the video game called Nightmare Cemetery. After spending endless hours locked into the innovative Dreamwave—the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep—in order to save one of their own from the game’s all-too-real consequences, they survived… barely.

But after their harrowing rescue, they’ve decided they’ve had enough of Nightmare Cemetery and its enigmatic final boss, the King of Sleep. That is, until the newest Dlc, The Blighted Sprawl, suddenly appears online with a promise to reveal the truth of what actually lurks...

IFC Entertainment Group Has Its Biggest Opening Weekend Ever With Clown In A Cornfield: "IFC Entertainment Group had its biggest opening weekend box office success ever with the release of Eli Craig’s Clown In A Cornfield, which grossed $3.6 million at the U.S. box office. The Rlje / Shudder film, which opened as the #1 new film in the US and 5th overall, lands the Group’s Rlje division its highest grosser to date and the Group’s widest theatrical opening, on 2,277 screens.

Clown In A Cornfield’s opening weekend broke records for IFC Entertainment Group, surpassing its 2024 success Late Night With The Devil’s box office opening of $2.8 million, and In A Violent Nature’s theatrical opening with 1,496 theaters last year.

“To say we are thrilled with the tremendous response to Eli Craig’s witty and playful adaptation of Adam Cesare’s chart-topping novel would be an understatement,” said...

Login and lose your mind with Cemetery Kids Run Rabid, a synapse-shredding new level for the cyberpunk horror comic that began with last year’s Cemetery Kids Don’t Die.

Writer Zac Thompson, artist Daniel Irizarri, and colorist Brittany Peer return to launch new readers and returning fans alike into a pixelated landscape haunted by an all-too-real evil.

Cemetery Kids Run Rabid #1 will be published on August 13 via Oni Press with four covers by Irizarri, Martin Simmonds (The Department of Truth), and Gegê Schall (Better Angels), which you can exclusively see below.

In X-Men lore, the most powerful mutants are categorized as 'Omega mutants,' possessing power equal to literal gods. Despite the X-Men franchise existing for 61 years, only a couple dozen mutants have been officially declared Omega-level, showing just how rare and overwhelming the power wielded by these mutants actually is. The full list of X-Men's Omegas includes iconic heroes, iconic villains, and some little-known mutants.

Many of X-Men's Omega mutants come from the recently introduced nation of Arakko, so this list will be broken into two parts: Earth mutants (the humanoid heroes and villains most fans are likely to recognize) and Arakko mutants (weird and wonderful new additions who push the boundaries of mutant powers.) We'll also cover potential Omega mutants - those who probably deserve the title, even though Marvel hasn't made it official.

Because "Omega level" can mean slightly different things depending on the comic era,...

Set in a world where a gaming console known as the Dreamwave allows you to explore a video game's ominous open world while you sleep, writer Zac Thompson and artist Daniel Irizarri's four-issue comic book series Cemetery Kids Don't Die follows a quartet of friends who encounter an entity known as "The King of Sleep" in their favorite video game "Nightmare Cemetery," and that's when the horrors of the online world become all too real, leading to the friends' most epic—and deadly—quest yet.

One of the most imaginative and timely comic book releases of 2024, all four issues of Cemetery Kids Don't Die are now available in a trade paperback from Oni Press just in time for the holidays, and as a special treat for Daily Dead readers, we have the entire first issue that you can read now!

Warning! Spoilers for Batman: The Brave and the Bold #19!One A-tier Gotham villain just proved that Batman absolutely can lose, as Batman admits that Scarecrow finally beat him. One of the greatest Batman speeches was about how, no matter what death trap or insidious villain he goes up against, he's still there and willing to fight for Gotham City. It was a fantastic speech about how Batman never loses, but Scarecrow completely proves him wrong.

Gotham is plunged into madness and terror as a persistent hum has driven the majority of Gotham's citizens insane in "The Hum" by Zac Thompson, Stefano Raffaele, Lee Loughridge, and Troy Peteri from Batman: The Brave and the Bold #19. Even the Bat-Family has fallen to madness and joined the hordes of raving maniacs. Seeing the city tearing itself apart due to fear, Batman decides that he has to team up with Scarecrow to save his city.

This post contains major spoilers for Marvel's "Alien: Romulus" #1.

Director Fede Álvarez brought the "Alien" franchise back to life with this year's "Alien: Romulus." It was the first entry in the franchise in seven years following the commercial disappointment that was Ridley Scott's "Alien: Covenant" in 2017. But Álvarez didn't shy away from touching on Scott's prequels in his film, nor did he shy away from making direct connections to Scott's original 1979 horror/sci-fi masterpiece "Alien." Now, a new comic that serves as a prequel to Álvarez's film makes even more connections to Scott's '70s classic, shining a light on the fate of the first Xenomorph that terrorized the crew of the Nostromo.

Marvel's "Alien: Romulus" #1, written by Zac Thompson and illustrated by Daniel Picciotto, serves as a direct prequel to the events of the film of the same name.

When Alien: Romulus hit multiplex screens this summer, it raised a handful of questions. Some of the more burning queries included: “Who is the father of Kay’s baby?” (to which the answer is resoundingly grim), “Is Rain’s dream home of Yvaga all it’s cracked up to be?” and “Who, of sound body & mind, would rubber stamp that ghoulish deepfake of Ian Holm?”

What’s less likely to have kept you up at night, however, is the missing time that bridges the film’s prologue — in which Weyland-Yutani recovers the original Xenomorph from Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic — and its narrative proper. After all, we already know: A) that the corporation sent out a probe with the express purpose of tracking down the so-called “perfect organism”; B) that they proceeded to conduct experiments with its DNA; and C) that by the time the Corbelan crew arrives at Renaissance Station,...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Alien: Romulus #1! Weyland-Yutani is the evil company in the Alien franchise that has been after the Xenomorph since the very first film, and the reason why has always been a bit ambiguous. Sure, its been stated several times that Weyland-Yutani wants to use the Xenomorph as a living weapon, given that its biology makes it the perfect killing machine. But, why does Wy want a living weapon? Well, after the latest installment in the Alien franchise, fans finally have the answer - and its way more horrific than they thought.

Alien: Romulus #1 by Zac Thompson and Daniel Picciotto is the official prequel to the 2024 film, which tells fans exactly how the Xenomorph from the 1979 movie (Big Chap) slaughtered everyone at Renaissance Station. As shown in the movie, the Wy scientists located Big Chap from the wreckage of the Nostromo, and brought the alien aboard the Renaissance.

Marvel Comics one-shot title “Alien: Romulus” #1, a prequel to the new 20th Century ‘space monster’ feature, written by Zac Thompson and illustrated by Daniel Picciotto, is now available, revealing “…what really happened on board the ‘Renaissance’ space station…”:

“…the prequel shines a light on the tragedy that occurred on the space station ‘Renaissance’…

“…before ‘Rain’, ‘Andy’ and their crew had their own terrifying encounter there.

“While we know a ‘Xenomorph’ laid waste to the crew…

“…this prequel should answer some lingering questions…”

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Alien: Romulus #1! The Xenomorph was introduced in the original 1979 Alien film, and even to this day, 45 years later, the creature is just as iconic. However, just because the Alien franchise and its titular monster have stood the test of time, doesnt mean everything about the Xenomorphs debut was perfect, including and especially one glaring mistake in particular. Thankfully, the latest addition to the Alien franchise has corrected this mistake.

In Alien: Romulus #1 by Zac Thompson and Daniel Picciotto, fans are shown exactly how Big Chap decimated Renaissance Station, effectively allowing Aliens original Xenomorph to have one final murder-fest before being retired forever. The comic picks up right after the Renaissance crew brings the cocooned Xenomorph on board, detailing how rogue security guards free it from stasis to kill it, only to unintentionally unleash it upon the entire crew.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Alien: Romulus #1! Since the Xenomorph was first introduced in 1979s Alien, the creature has remained a mystery. A truly terrifying example of cosmic horror, the Xenomorph is a twisted perversion of life itself, a parasite that requires death to reproduce, only to bring about even more pain and suffering once matured. And the scariest part? No one knows the species history. At least, until now, as Alien may have finally revealed the ancient history of the Xenomorph.

In Alien: Romulus #1 by Zac Thompson and Daniel Picciotto (the official comic book prequel to the 2024 film), fans are shown exactly what happened to the crew of Renaissance Station. As shown in the movie, this Weyland-Yutani science outpost retrieved the Xenomorph Ripley launched into space at the end of the 1979 film (a Xenomorph widely referred to as Big Chap). This comic picks up right after that moment, and its...

The Alien franchise continues to expand, as the first official look at the prequel comic for Alien: Romulus provides more insight into the film's backstory.

The preview for Alien: Romulus #1 written by Zac Thompson, with art by Daniel Picciotto features a crew investigating the wreckage from the very first Alien film. With story credits to the films director Fede Alvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues, the comic prequel dives into the terror that started before the events of the movie.

Wonder Woman teams up with Plastic Man to retrieve her stolen Lasso of Truth. Plastic Man's backstory reveals he has powerful abilities, making him a valuable ally. The unlikely pairing highlights the importance of mutual respect and the potential in underrated heroes.

Part of DC's Trinity, Wonder Woman is strong, kind, and fights for truth and hope. One of her primary weapons in that fight is the Lasso of Truth, an Amazonian rope that prevents anyone who touches it from telling lies. In an upcoming comic, however, it gets stolen, and to catch a thief, she'll need one - Plastic Man.

While in her own book, Diana Prince has been fighting the secret American monarchy and discovering a new Amazonian child, this side story appears in the anthology Batman: The Brave and the Bold #19. In DC Comics' November solicitations, readers can get a teaser for Wonder Woman's next adventure and...

For Fede lvarez, getting Ridley Scott's Alien: Romulus feedback was a high honor.

"Ridley was always the person I went to in order to show him where things are and to debate with him and to have his blessing and also his criticism and pushback on some things," lvarez told the Los Angeles Times in a profile about directing the new Alien film and how the franchise shaped his career. "It was a creative collaboration where we met in the middle," he continued, with Scott giving the Don't Breathe filmmaker enough leeway to do things his own way. As Scott acknowledged, "It is hard work with anybody and their mother giving you advice the last thing you want at a certain point is advice. I do not need advice. If I fall on my own sword and therefore lie bleeding, I say, 'It was my fault,'" though he...

Director Fede Álvarez’s contribution to the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus, is set to reach theatres on August 16th – and two months later, on October 16th, Marvel Comics will be publishing a one-shot prelude tie-in comic, Alien: Romulus #1, that has been written by Zac Thompson (Absolute Carnage: Avengers) and drawn by Daniel Picciotto (Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider).

The story Álvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues crafted for Alien: Romulus is not connected to the other films in the Alien franchise – but it’s not ignoring any of the other entries, either. Álvarez has been clear about the fact that his story takes place within the established franchise continuity. In fact, it slots right in between the events of Alien and Aliens. It has the following official logline: The sci-fi/horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful “Alien” franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station,...

Marvel's Alien: Romulus prequel comic promises to unveil secrets behind the film's main threat, created in partnership with its creative team. Writer Zac Thompson collaborates with Director Fede Alvarez to craft a thrilling and terrifying narrative tied to Alien: Romulus.

The comic was written in partnership with the creative team behind the upcoming film, including Director Fede lvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues. The comic is intended as a tie-in to the film, depicting early events set before - but closely tied to - the movie itself.

The seventh installment in the Alien cinematic universe, Alien: Romulus is set between the events of Alien and Aliens, following a group...

Doc Ock could level up his villain status, and definitively claim the mantle of the Webslinger's most dangerous foe, by recreating Spider-Man's spider-sense using technology. Devil's Reign: Superior Four made the case that Doc Ock needs to focus on enhancing his own powers instead of trying to steal someone else's body; his time in Peter Parker's body in Spectacular Spider-Man taught him things, but he needs to show that he learned the right lessons. Otto Octavius knows what Peter Parker's "Spidey-sense" feels like if he were to recreate it through science, it would be a gamechanging move for the perennial antagonist, elevating him to the top spot on the list of Spider-Man's most dangerous rogues.

Spider-Man has some truly dangerous enemies, but few are more intelligent or dangerous than Otto Octavius. Doc Ock is one of the smartest men in the Marvel Universe, and unfortunately for everyone, he uses that intelligence for evil.

Doctor Octopus defeats Knull the King in Black in a shocking matchup teased in Devil's Reign: Superior Four #2. Supreme Octopus emerges as the most powerful version of Doctor Octopus the multiverse. The story raises the possibility of an epic battle between the Spider-Man villain and the King in Black that readers would no doubt want to see.

There have been tons of different versions of Spider-Man across the multiverse, along with plenty of different versions of his villains. With the multiverse being infinite, there's an infinite number of stories that Marvel hasn't told, and there's definitely one universe worth exploring more. That would be the one where Spider-Man's iconic villain, Doctor Octopus, easily defeated Knull, the King in Black.

The surprising match up between Doc Ock and Knull is hinted at in 2022's Devil's Reign: Superior Four #2 by Zac Thompson and Davide Tinto. In this story, Doctor Octopus is traveling...

Robert returned to the Savage Land with his eldest son Kevin for refuge, but instead faced a volatile group of Man-Apes led by Maa-Gor, which culminated in his death.
