While I’m not a die hard film noir fan, I’ve seen my fair share of flicks that feature the duped detective, devious damsels, and dire dilemmas that usually end with someone dying. Whether it is Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, Dave Bannion, or Jeff Markam, the tales never have a happy ending where the hero rides off into the sunset with the girl. Oni Press’ You Have Killed Me is no different, and for those who are unfamiliar with the genre, it’s a perfect primer for pulp plotting.

When an MI6 officer’s body is fished out of the river Spree in Berlin, the British government begins to panic — not just because one of their spies is dead, but because of what he was smuggling across the Iron Curtain. A list. A list supplied by an East German Stasi double agent. A list identifying every spy working in Berlin, on both sides of the wall. A list that was not found on the spy’s corpse.
Last week, we ran the preview of Stumptown #1 by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth. Oni Press announced the title has sold out at the distributor level, which means the only copies available are at your local comic book shop. There’s no word if the issue will go back to press, so you might want to get your hands on it now. via Oni Press

I love how H’wood pounces on anything based on a graphic novel these days – even when that graphic novel hasn’t been published yet. Such is the case with the recent acquisition by Universal Pictures and Oni Press’ Frenemy of the State. Rashida Jones will write the script with Will McCormack, though Jones says she will not star in the movie. “It’s intended for a girl much younger than me, about age 20, an interesting age for girls as they make that scary jump to adulthood,” she said. “She has lived a life of privilege, attended the best schools and…
