Officer Downe, the story of a zombie cop, opens this Friday, and co-creator Joe Casey stopped by to tell all about the making of the movie.

In lieu of an America Chavez series, could America Vazquez fill that gap?

      On whether there's still "magic" in comics: CASEY: Oh, hell yes. There's still plenty of magic... just on different levels than there used to be. I still get a huge buzz when I can come...

It's almost quitting time here in EDT so let's leave the week with something FUN for a change. Why just do a comic book based on a classically of it time TV show when you can reinvent it as an acid trip that bends time and space? And hooray for licensors who let you get away with it. Miami Vice: Remix by Joe Casey and Jim Mahfood is anything but a dull TV show comic...it's an audacious tale on tropes and icons, and a gem in the Lion Forge line-up.

With movies and TV shows based on comics unavoidable no matter where you turn, I've often wondered why there aren't more indie movies based on indie comics. Part of the reason is that it's just so darned hard to fund any indie movie any more. But it does happen. And if you had reminded me that Officer Downe, the one shot comic by Joe Casey and Chris Burnham was being actually made, with Slipnot's main clown Shawn Crahan directing, I would have said "oh yeah, April Fools." Not because it isn't good source material but it sounds so darned unlikely. <

Leave it to Joe Casey. He's a Pied Piper of the unusual, writing superheroes everywhere and dragging fresh art styles along with him (Sex at Image, Catalyst Comics at Dark Horse). This time it's...

Lion Forge, the mostly digital but going to print comics company, picked up some nice 80s licenses like Punky Brewster and Miami Vice. In the modern era of licensing, it isn't about likenesses and wooden stories, but about reimagining things. So Lion Forge hired Joe Casey and artist Jim Mahfood to do Miami Vice. Bringing Crockett and TUbbs to the modern day. Since both Casey and Mahfood are certifiably bonkers*** this is awesome.

GØDLAND #37 by Joe Casey and Tom Scioli is out this week, and just in case you didn't pick it up yesterday, here's some art that will make you change your mind. This last,...
