THE XOMBIE MOVIE
It's official. Dreamworks hearts Xombie. Yes, that Dreamworks.
"DreamWorks, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci could be walking with a "Xombie."
The studio is in negotiations to buy "Xombie," a pitch about a zombie who is also a policeman, from cop-turned-scribe Will Beall, with Kurtzman and Orci in talks to produce.
Beall, repped by CAA and Management 360, also is adapting his debut novel "L.A. Rex," about a policeman patrolling the gang-ridden area of the 77th Division in South Los Angeles, for producer Scott Rudin.
"Xombie" is based on a Devil's Due comic book by James Farr, itself based on his online animated series. Farr's creation centers on a zombie cop named Dirge who attempts to save humanity's remnants, particularly a young girl named Zoe, from evil zombies.
DreamWorks is in negotiations to acquire the source material. The logline for the movie version is being kept under wraps."

DIRGE: THE ULTIMATE EDITION ACTION FIGURE
Yes. You are correct. The object immediately to your right is the coolest thing ever created. After nearly six years, Dirge has finally been cast in vinyl, and packaged as a real, honest-to-god toy. My inner 12-year-old is having an aneurysm.
Dirge is the very first toy to be released from DEVIL'S DUE POP, the heretofore top-secret branch of Devil's Due. Dirge stands 8" tall, with 6 points of articulation, and comes with his trusty (and detachable) shovel. Click below to pre-order now, and cause your existing action figures to cower in mortal terror.
PRE-ORDER DIRGE NOW!
After no less than three years' of delays, scheduling conflicts and procrastinating, I was finally able to secure nearly 30 (count them, THIRTY) minutes of spare time to chat with everyone's favorite voice-over artist; the man behind the skull, himself - Geoff Edwards.
Click on over to Geoff's brand new site for a behind the scenes peek at his studio, the Xombie development process, and maybe a hint or two of things to come.

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD
Hey guys! The reviews are in. And guess what?
"This is the most fun I’ve had reading a comic in a long time. There are parts of this book that are just flat out funny. I’m reminded of the Wachowski’s Frankenstein series, but with way more humor by way of an acid trip gone wild."
- Guy Copes (Full Review @ ComicAddiction.com)
"Someone call The Enquirer. I'm not sure the world is ready for this. Then again, maybe we are. I admit, they got me. I am completely hooked on this one. I know that the first issue hasn't hit the streets, but please tell me that this is a monthly book."
- Chris Dooley (Full Review @ ComicsAlliance.com)
"The art is dynamic, exciting, and most importantly – fun! Xombie is a fun book. If you’re tired of the dark, depressing books out today, or just want a little break from the death and suffering – Xombie is the book for you."
- Itai Rosenbaum (Full Review @ SilverBulletComics.com)
"It’s the execution of the subject matter that differs and makes it unique. Unlike so many other examples of its genre this first issue does not rely on excessive gore or shock value to tell its story. Is it possible to have an all-ages zombie comic book? If it is then Xombie fits the bill. I find myself in the quite bizarre position of wanting to use words like "charming" in relation to a comic about a world infested with rotting, walking corpses. But given that Zoe and Dirge’s friendship seems to be the very heart of the book, perhaps "charming" isn’t that inappropriate after all."
- Andy Oliver (Full Review @ BrokenFrontier.com)
