I need to follow comic news more closely, at these when it involves one of my favorite current writers and the man who was responsible for me really getting into comics (and spending all of my money) in the first place.

Todd McFarlane and Robert Kirkman are collaborating on a new project called Haunt, and I am excited. All the dates and articles seem to indicate it should have been out a long time ago, but you know how these things are.

In my second geeky post about something from the San Diego Comic Con, I discuss a new iPhone application from comiXology which allows you purchase/organize/read comic books on your phone.

Many publishers have already signed on to have their comics available in this format, with more certainly to follow. What’s the most interesting thing for me about this is that Robert Kirkman (he of Walking Dead fame) will be adding his work as well. This can only hopefully lead to loads of zombie comics on this app.

If I owned a iPhone, I would get this. So, if you do own one yourself, get on it.

Robert Kirkman, who pens the best active zombie comic The Walking Dead will be signing your wares at Forbidden Planet this upcoming Wednesday. The perfect choice for a Halloween Week comic signing.
