On August 16, 2024, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that comic writer Garth Ennis has written a script for a movie adaptation of his comic series "Crossed". Ennis' "Crossed" script has been acquired by the indie production company Six Studios.

These days, Ennis is most known as co-creator of "The Boys" (alongside artist Darick Robertson), the vicious superhero parody that's become one of Prime Video's premier programs. If you think "The Boys" can indulge in ultra violence and bad taste, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Published by Avatar Press, "Crossed" has well over 100 issues to its name, spread out over various mini-series and the long-running "Crossed: Badlands." Alan Moore even wrote the "Crossed +100" installment. What is this horror tale of epic length about? "Crossed" is basically Ennis' take on a zombie apocalypse.

In "Crossed," a pandemic sweeps the world that robs people of empathy and inhibition. The infected turn into raging sadists, their...

Writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson created comic book series "The Boys" to satirize how their industry was ruled by corporate greed. The lifeblood of that greed? Superhero funny books (a genre Ennis has never liked). In 2019, "The Boys" leaped to television, with its thesis rejiggered around the oversaturation of superhero movies.

"The Boys" is one of the most popular Prime Video shows streaming (though that won't stop it coming to an end with season 5). Thanks to the TV adaptation, "The Boys" is currently the most talked-about Ennis comic, even if the show does take plenty of liberties with its source material. ("The Boys" TV show creator Eric Kripke told /Film he regularly consults with Ennis and Robertson.)

Ennis' body of work has running themes: vulgarity and violence; distaste for power whether it be political, corporate or religious; resolute warrior men who destroy themselves etc. Ennis is a leftie but also an edgelord,...

TikTok wants you to meet its Change Makers. That’s the name of a new program that offers support to creators who are “inspiring meaningful change” through their videos and actions.

The inaugural class of Change Makers was revealed through a TikTok Newsroom post. Though TikTok didn’t provide many details about the selection criteria it used for the program, its post indicates that the members of the cohort all “create a positive impact on and beyond the platform.” They do that in many different ways, from the warmth radiated by Brunch With Babs host Barbara Costello, to the spectacles shared by photographer-to-the-stars Kara Lewis, to the helpful information offered by “medical mythbuster” Joel Bervell.

“The TikTok global community harnesses creative self-expression to drive positive impact by rallying support, raising awareness, and advocating for the causes they truly care about,” said Kim Farrell, TikTok’s Head of Creators, in a statement.

Comicbook writer Garth Ennis, best known for series such as “Preacher” and “The Boys,” and his nine-year stint at Marvel, is a guest of this week’s Lucca Comics & Games. Ennis, whose current work includes comedy Barbarian strip “Babs,” and the latest instalments of the “Battle Action” and “Punisher” series, spoke about his new book “Partisan,” as well as diverse topics including religion and war.

“[In ‘Partisan’], Steve [Epting] and I explored a similar territory to that of ‘Sara.’ It’s about a woman who finds herself caught in the fighting between Russian partisans and the German invaders in Ukraine from 1942 onwards,” Ennis said.

“Our heroine, with her husband having been called up by the army, finds herself raising two kids alone. Caught in this conflict, she joins the partisans for no other reason than keeping her kids alive. She finds herself doing the most extreme things, purely in the interest of her family.

Many people (this reviewer included) scoffed at the announcement of Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Something about the ludicrous title and 23-year hiatus gave the air of a studio in desperation, or one searching for an Oscar contender. How wrong we were. For in spite of the long wait and changes of personnel––Zachary Levi and Thandiwe Newton replace Mel Gibson and Julia Sawalha; Sam Fell replaces Nick Park and Peter Lord––this latest adventure is every bit as well-crafted, cleverly written, and stuffed with gallinaceous puns as its predecessor.

We rejoin the flock, like the cast, in much-changed circumstances. For one thing, they have built a small island paradise––it looks more like the Shire than Yorkshire––where they are free to work and roam without the threat of human intervention. There is also a lively new addition to the group: Rocky and Ginger’s chirpy chick Molly,...

With “Batgirl” the motion picture recently shot out of the sky by Warner Bros. Discovery, there is still DC Comics “Batgirls” #9 for fans to hang onto, available August 9, 2022 written by Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad, with illustrations by Neil Googe and covers by Jorge Corona, Boo Sweeney and Rian Gonzales:

“…after what happened with ‘Seer’, there's no time to waste for the ‘Batgirls’ as they go ‘Batgirling’ back into detective mode! But just as ‘Steph’, ‘Cass’ and ‘Babs’ race to put all the clues together they get an unexpected visit…”

DC’s Birds of Prey movie is currently filming ahead of its release next year, but before that, The CW’s Arrowverse will offer its own take on the team of superheroines later this season on Arrow. Though the group’s name will likely be off-limits, it’ll still feature (a version of) one of the most perennial members of the squad, Laurel Lance.

Arrow showrunner Beth Schwartz broke the news to TV Line this week, explaining: “We are doing a Birds of Prey-inspired episode, that Laurel (played by Katie Cassidy) will be involved with.”

As fans will know, the other two major members of the Birds are Huntress and Barbara Gordon’s Oracle. The former was once a recurring character on Arrow, as played by Jessica De Gouw, but hasn’t been seen since season 2. Funnily enough, she appeared in an episode titled “Birds of Prey.” We’ve...

DC Comics' "Batgirl" #27, in support of the upcoming live-action "Batgirl" feature film, scripted by Christina Hodson, is written by Mairghread Scott and illustrated by Paul Pelletier, with covers by Sean Murphy and Joshua Middleton, available September 26, 2018:

"...you can't go home again. But that's just where 'Barbara Gordon', aka 'Batgirl', is forced to go when the chip granting her mobility keeps shorting out in the aftermath of her clash with 'Grotesque'. 

"Will 'Commissioner Gordon' drive 'Babs' totally bonkers with his bedside manner? Or will the malfunctioning tech impact more than just her legs? 

"Plus, what's the deal with art thief Grotesque and his new M.O.?..."

In "Batgirl" #26, written by Mairghread Scott and illustrated by Paul Pelletier, with covers by Sean Murphy and Joshua Middleton:

"...in 'Art of the Crime', part one, during a high-speed chase with the art thief 'Grotesque'.

When news broke last month revealing the lineup for the Birds of Prey movie, many a fan breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Huntress, Black Canary and Rene Montoya will be featured alongside Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. But what baffled the same folks was the realization that Barbara Gordon will sit this one out, so don’t count on seeing her as either Batgirl or Oracle.

In fact, what I found to be quite intriguing was the decision to include Cassandra Cain in the project, as it’s being said the team will have to recover her from the hands of an evil mob boss, whom we now know to be Black Mask. And though Cass may be one of the greatest living martial artists in the comic book realm, we can’t be too sure of where her skill level’s at in the film.

Speaking of which,...

So heartbreaking. On the night of the season finale of her hit TLC series My Big Fat Fabulous Life, star Whitney Thore took to Instagram after the episode aired to announce the sad news that her best friend Tal Fish's father suddenly passed away. Tal's father Rufus Fish passed away on Tuesday, March 20 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease and both Tal and Whitney shared touching tributes to his memory on social media. "I am so grateful for the love that Tal and his family have always shown me, and grateful that his parents raised him to be such a wonderful person who enriches the lives of so many," Whitney wrote on Instagram. "The whole family was able to see him in the last week, and Tal visited him shortly before it happened, so that is an enormous gift. I hadn’t seen Mr. Fish in years but I...
