SDCC’11: Hermes Press to publish Agent 13

Posted on by

Press Release

Here at Hermes Press, we love finding pop culture treasure, and bring it back from memory to reality again.  But when we stumbled across Agent 13, buried in the files of his creator since the late ’80s, we knew we’d hit the esoteric jackpot of coolness.
Agent 13 has it all-deathtraps, secret societies, femme fatales, a friend and lovely assistant, and an enigmatic pulp hero-delivered in a hard-hitting style. He’s now coming back from his whispered cult status, the greatest hero no one knows about, except for a few people:

SDCC’11: MacGyver gets comic book treatment from Image Comics

Posted on by

During the Image Comics panel, it was announced the company is planning on bringing back everyone’s favorite Swiss Army Knife wielding hero – MacGyver.

The mini-series, called “MacGuyver: Fugitive Gauntlet”, will be five issues and arrive next summer (2012).

“I don’t want to give too much away, but there’s a gauntlet that MacGyver has to run, and he does it as a fugitive, hence the title,” writer Lee David Zlotoff said. “Let’s just say that someone with an axe to grind decides to play a game with him. He has to live out a week while every hitman in town is after him. A seven million dollar bounty is on his head, and every day it drops by a million. So the hit men have it in their best interests to kill him quick, and he has it in his best interest to run out the clock. But at the same time, he has to find out why this person wants him dead and what the true story is here.”

Art will be done by Becky Cloonan.

TRAILER: The Flaming C … coming soon (told ya)

Posted on by

Conan O’Brien crashed the Green Lantern Animated Series panel and presented information regarding his upcoming Flaming C “film”.

Vengeance just got hotter, and so did Comic-Con 2011, as TBS talk show host Conan O’Brien made his first-ever appearance at the world’s largest pop culture convention. O’Brien surprised the audience in Room 6BCF today during Warner Bros. Animation’s panel for the forthcoming Green Lantern: The Animated Series, emerging on stage to unveil the trailer to The Flaming C, an all-new, sure-to-be-blockbuster animated “motion picture” starring O’Brien’s superhero alter ego of the same name.

The Flaming C “film” — coming soon … maybe — and character were created in collaboration between O’Brien’s Team Coco, Warner Bros. Animation and renowned animator Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series), who designed the superhero during an impromptu 15-minute meeting with Conan in late 2010. Timm also serves as executive producer of Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

MOVIE: Jurassic Park 4 in the works

Posted on by

During the Tintin panel at the San Diego Comic Con, director Steven Spielberg announced Jurassic Park 4 is in the works.

I’ll let that sink in…

Got it? Because I’m sure your scrambling to the IMDB to look up the info on Jurassic Park 3, as it was such a stellar success.

The story and writer have already been set… and now we can all sleep soundly knowing Jeff Goldblum has a reason to start doing a happy dance.

As much as I liked the first movie in terms of the special effects, you can tell I’m thrilled over this news.
