Well it’s the end of January so I thought I’d Give a mention to some of the films and comics that are looking good for this year (although if you know me you know it will probably be longer until I get round to seeing them).
So let’s start with a couple of films that have caught my eye, the first one is Prometheus. This is sighted as being a prequel to the ‘Alien’ films but it has also been said that there will not be any of the xenomorphes from the previous films. That being said there have been a number of posters and trailers realised which have left people guessing. One of the trailers shows, what looks like the ‘Space jockeys’, that is the occupants of the spaceship where the aliens are encounter in the first film
And most of the posters and trailers revolve around a large stone head and a number of pod shaped things which many speculate to be xenomorph eggs although a slightly different shape and not quite the same organic feel so it is possible that they may be something else put there to make you think they are eggs, maybe tombstones
The Second film that has my eye is Thale, a Norwegian film about a 'huldra' a creature that is like a succubus or an elf. A Huldra is a beautiful female that lives in a forest and lures men to her, if they can can satisfy her then they are rewarded if not they disappear. The only way to tell the difference between a Huldra and a normal woman is that the Huldra has a cow like tail. Jugging by the trailers the body of a Huldra has been found and a tail has also been found so either someone is going to put the two together or the Huldra is going to try & reunite herself with the tail.
The other news is that film of the comic Hack/Slash has a new director and is going ahead, so I'll be looking out for more on this
Comics
2 new comic series have started this month that seem to be good.
The First is Infestation 2 by IDW, this follows on from Infestation & Outbreak
**Spoiler** form the previous 2 series
The First infestation sees members of the CVO team investigating a military base where an inter-dimensional portal has been opened to a universe governed by a conciseness that can take over any intelligence (living, undead or robot) and turn them into zombies, the intelligence possesses one of the CVO team and sends her conciseness
through the portal, the rest of CVO manage to close it but not until she has gone to 4 universes, that of the Transformers, G.I Joe, Star-trek (original series) and Ghost busters, her mission is to gather any magic or technological to help the undermind conquer all the reality’s that exist leading to the first cross over of some of the IDW titles
Outbreak
The Cvo team stop the undermind but radically change the nature of magic in there universe. Whilst trying to find out the precautions of this CVO are hired by area 51 to investigate an attempted break out of some aliens that were imprisoned with demons back in the 60's, the break out is not an attack as first thought but an attempt to get away from the old gods who are escaping there imprisonment thanks to the weakening of magic.
**End of Spoilers**
So Infestation 2 sees the old Gods escaping their prison and attacking different universes, we return to to the transformer and G.I Joe universes but also go to the Teenage ninja Turtles, Dungeons & Dragons & 30 days of night and, from the look of issue one the story seems to flow better than the first Infestation.
The second comic out last week is Nancy In Hell (on Earth),the sequel to Nancy In Hell.
**Spoilers**for Nancy in Hell
In the first series Nancy, an all America cheerleader, her boyfriend and their friends are killed and Nancy awakens in Hell. Teaming up with Lucifer Nancy sets out to escape hell and return to earth, which she does but the doors to Hell are left open and now the demons are free on earth
Nancy and Lucifer are now on earth and are trying to return the demons to Hell but with the appearance of angels in who appear to be after Lucifer will their job be possible.
Now all I need is a follow up to the 'Suicide Girls' comic and I'll be happy for the year
Music
Cracked.com ran their '7 Least Anticipated Albums of 2012 and I found myself looking forward to 2 of them, apparently there will be new albums by the insane Clown possie and a new one from Marilyn Mason both of which I'll be looking out for.
Voltaire is also working on a new album and has put an acoustic track, 'the Trouble with Tribbles' on his youtube page here http://youtu.be/kBVE5_h16Bs
