 Bone, the Eisner award winning comic book by Jeff Smith has been acquired by Warner Bros. to be made into a movie. It hasn’t been decided yet whether Bone will be an animated feature, live action, or combination of both. Warner Bros. has stated that the decision will be made following meetings with different filmmakers.

The rights for Bone had been picked up by Nickelodeon in the 1990s but a television series or a movie did not result due to conflict over content. The kid-friendly network wanted to turn Bone into a children’s series with young actors and bubblegum pop soundtrack, which Smith was opposed to.

(more…)

The War in Heaven is reflected in the faces of humanity.  Destiny and hope lay fallow as a universal struggle for command of the higher planes of existence rages unfettered by the will of man.  Angels have turned against mankind, harvesting souls to strengthen their power, upending the eternal balance and placing all creation at risk of obliteration.  Will those that have been banished from Heaven’s army awaken to their true nature in time to stem the rising tide of destruction or shall the forces of flame and shadow unseam the universe and bring about the end of enlightenment?

ASCEND: SPECIAL EDITION is a new 200-page hardback edition that features seventy additional pages, remastered artwork and a completely reimagined tale that takes the reader futher into a post-apocalyptic Heaven that is consumed by the Purgatory Wars.

Writer/Creator Keith Arem and Post-Production Artist Kristian Hedman will be signing copies of the new volume and screening advance previews of ASCEND: DIVINATION, the digital web series based on the hit book.

IDW Publishing releases ASCEND: SPECIAL EDITION nationwide on January 15, 2008.  The trailer from the novel and high resolution color images can be found online at www.preparetoascend.com

PCB Productions and IDW Publishing will be hosting the launch party for the long anticipated release of ASCEND: SPECIAL EDITION at Meltdown Comics on Friday, January 11, 2008 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.  We hope to see you there!
