Melinda Janko's 100 Years focuses on one especially outrageous failure of U.S. policy, showing the fight over billions of dollars owed for oil drilled on reservations. With its hero, the late Elouise Cobell, announced this week as a posthumous recipient of the...

The Demolisher returns this October for Deathlok #1, an all-new series from the critically acclaimed creative team of Nathan Edmondson (Black Widow, The Punisher) and Mike Perkins (Captain America, Stephen King’s The Stand).
Henry Hayes is a veteran, a single parent, a man who thought he’d left his war behind. But unbeknownst to him, he’s been transformed without his knowledge into the perfect weapon of destruction: Deathlok! Operative, fighter, assassin and more – on the battlefield, he is whatever his handlers need him to be.
Created by the mysterious Biotek corporation, Hayes is utilized as a deadly weapon rented out to the highest bidder, his memories erased at the close of every mission. As Henry slowly uncovers the truth behind the horrors that were visited upon him, he’ll struggle with the knowledge that he’s been transformed into a weapon of mass destruction – and expose the disturbing legacy...

Following the character’s television debut as part of Marvel’s Agents of Shield on ABC, Deathlok has been in the spotlight in a way that he’s hasn’t really enjoyed since his creation forty years ago. Tomorrow sees the release of Original Sins No. 1, an anthology that sees the character return to comics in a story by Nathan Edmondson and Mike Perkins — a team that THR can exclusively reveal will be handling the character’s solo title when it debuts this fall, as well. “Deathlok is an opportunity to turn the distinction between ally and foe within the Marvel universe right

Constantine
Written by Kevin Brodbin & Frank Cappello
Directed by Francis Lawrence
USA/Germany, 2005
Hollywood has a long, raucous history with butchering source material for marketability. Take Vertigo Comics’ Hellblazer series as a shining example. Lead anti-hero, occult detective John Constantine, was an absolute dream for cynical comic shoppers: snarky, brooding, and constantly smoking. Hallucinogenic director Tarsem Singh was once attached to a big budget adaptation before realizing he’d have more than a resemblance issue with proposed lead, Nicolas Cage. After all, Constantine — a blonde, Sting-esque Brit — hardly resembled Cage’s late career shift into boisterous pulp roles and a receding hairline.
Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello’s screenplay — borrowing elements from Original Sins and the “Dangerous Habits” arc — continued to gather dust until it caught the attention of music video director Francis Lawrence and one, Keanu Reeves. With a familiar American face, a slew of producers were suddenly a...
