Update & Correction: Ian Gibson, Guillermo del Toro’s assistant has tweeted out to multiple sites correcting the report that the filmmaker would helm an episode of Hannibal. Gibson says in many ways the story is simply not true, citing del Toro’s busy schedule. Last night, creator Bryan Fuller responded to a tweet confirming Guillermo Navarro is in fact…

Rebellion has announced a new edition of The Ballad of Halo Jones. Alan Moore and Ian Gibson's classic 2000 Ad saga will be reissued in May with a new cover by the magazine's head designer Simon Parr. South African novelist and journalist Lauren Beukes has written a new introduction for the book. "She's remarkable for being just a girl caught up in extraordinary circumstances," said Beukes. "Halo is working class, she doesn't have any superpowers, in her own words, she was 'just there'. (more)...

Mike Gold: So. How did Dredd 3-D compare to the first attempt?
Martha Thomases: So much better! Karl Urban looked the part. The set, while not looking like the comics, had the gritty spirit of the comics. And the violence was terrifically cartoony.
And no Rob Schneider, although I did think he was the best thing about the first one.
Mike: Back in 1995 I went in to the theater with really low expectations, given the Sylvester Stallone / Rob Schneider leads. They managed to live up to those expectations. This new one had enough blood to make Sam Peckinpah gag, but I dug it. It was meaningful blood.
I admire Urban playing true to the character and never taking the helmet off. Sly put his money right there on the screen. Sadly.
Martha: Urban kept his face still and his voice growled. I can remember the other characters. The kid...

Boom! Studios has teased an Avengers miniseries from Grant Morrison and Ian Gibson. The title is a reprint of Eclipse Comics' 1990 series. Steed and Mrs Peel is based on the 1960s British television show and not the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. The show has had a clear influence on some of Morrison's works including his Vertigo title The Invisibles. He is currently writing Action Comics as part of DC Comics' New 52. (more)...

For those of you who experience my weekly hysterical polemics over at Michael Davis World (yep, that Michael Davis), it will come as no surprise that I was looking forward to Dark Horse’s new series Orchid. Sure, new comics come about as often as simians poop, but this one was written by Tom Morello.
Who, you may ask, is Tom Morello? I’ll try not to indulge in musical and political elitism here; there’s always enough of that to go around. Suffice it to say that Morello is one of those activist musicians, and his work shines brighter than most. Best known as the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine, Tom was also in the bands Lock Up and Audioslave. For much of the past decade he’s been a solo act, a.k.a. The Nightwatchman. This latter work is acoustic; the former more punk/new wave/hip-hop.

Trinity Mirror's announcement last week that it is staging "a review of editorial controls and procedures" may prove as ineffective a response to phone hacking allegations as the various infamous internal inquiries at News International.
The publisher of the Daily and Sunday Mirror and The People is being drawn ineluctably into the affair, as today's headlines and stories illustrate.
Though the Sunday Times cannot, perhaps, be said to be entirely impartial, its piece about "three or four" looming legal actions against Trinity titles is well sourced.
The Independent on Sunday's article, Now Trinity Mirror feels the hacking heat, is based around allegations about Piers Morgan, who edited the Daily Mirror for nine years until 2004.
The Sunday Telegraph's diary also carries an item suggesting that Nancy Dell'Olio is considering legal action against Morgan, citing the paper's revelations about her relationship with the former England football manager Sven Goran Eriksson.
