AppleGeeks Gets First Trade

In a day and age when web comics are being collected into trade form, it’s a wonder AppleGeeks never got the trade treatment.  All that changes in June 2009, when Dark Horse collects the series for the first time.

The first volume will include creator commentary, a pin-up gallery and other bonus material, and will sell for $14.95.

It’s going to include all the comics up through Eve’s appearance in the strip, but that’s not all – we’re currently in talks with Samantha (who you guys should all give a HUGE thank you, none of this would have been possible without her patience and enthusiasm!) to have a whole host of awesome bonus material crammed into the book as well! We’ll be sure to keep you guys posted as we get more info, but I’m going to go ahead and say that a couple of the ideas we have for bonus material are really exciting.

Good news for Hawk and Ananth!  I’ll be reserving a copy when it is solicited next year.

Dewan and Goss Sign for Magdalena

In the Major Spoilers Bonus Podcast #2 (get it now before it’s gone), I proclaimed 2008 to be the year of the comic book movie.  The major motion picture run of comic book adaptation won’t end in December, Dear Reader, oh no.  Expect to see every publishing company to make a deal with H’wood to get their property into the big screen in hopes of raking in millions.

The latest to go into prepro hell is Magdalena from Top Cow.  Announced to star in the flick are Luke Goss and Jenna Dewan.

Dewan is set to play Patience, a woman who discovers that she’s a part of the lineage of female warriors descended from Mary Magdalene who fight supernatural evil.

Goss will play Kristof, an agent sent by the secret organization that has been the guardian of the lineage.

Hey, if Magdalena can get picked up, I wonder if anyone is interested in my detective series?
