Oni Press gets iGoogle theme too

With the launch of the DC Comics iGoogle themes last week, it was only moments before other companies got into the skinning craze of the Google one stop landing page.  Oni Press announced its theme is available now and features the artwork of Chris Mitten (Wasteland), Chynna Clugston (Blue Monday), Chris Schweizer (The Crogan Adventures), Lars Brown (North World), & Brandon Graham (Multiple Warheads).

iGoogle lets you create a personalized homepage that contains a Google search box at the top, and your choice of any number of gadgets below.  The Oni Press Theme is a ‘skin’ that provides artwork from Oni Press to further customize your iGoogle page.  In the future we’ll be releasing Oni Press book specific iGoogle themes.  This way fans of a particular Oni Press title can enjoy their favorite creators artwork all day long!

Freedom Formula Picked Up for Bryan Singer

We reviewed Radical Publishing’s Freedom Formula: Ghost of the Wasteland comic book (3.5 out of 5 Stars) a while ago, and today, New Regency announces it has acquired the property for a potential directing gig for Bryan Singer.

The comicbook has a futuristic premise in which fighter jets have been replaced by pilots who battle in racing exo-suits. The protag is a genetically engineered racer who learns his bloodline has the power to change society.

Singer’s Bad Hat Harry Prods. and Barry Levine’s Radical Pictures are producing.   If you like Mecha stories set in a dystopian future, mixed with pretty girls and lots of action, then Freedom Formula is going to be right up your alley.  No release date or production start date has been announced.

I’m not a big Mecha fan.  Sure I like giant robots as much of the next guy, but I’m not one to spend hours and hours devouring everything in this sub-genre of pop culture.  Freedom Formula from Radical Comics was a surprise arrival in my comic stash for the week, and was instantly drawn in with everything the first issue of the mini-series had to offer.
