George Romero Talks EMPIRE OF THE DEAD

Emperor of zombie fiction George Romero brings his next undead epic to Marvel Comics. The writer/director teams up with Alex Maleev for Empire of the Dead #1.

At New York Comic Con the legendary creator talks with Marvel.com about working in the comic medium:

“I grew up reading comics and I’ve always loved them,” Romero says. “The good ones stretch the imagination. Writing a comic book does the same thing for me. It encourages me to explore new ideas and characters that I might not have tried otherwise. I can turn off the part of my brain that’s always worrying about how to do things, like how I’m going to shoot a particular scene or how much it’s going to cost. Of course, that time may come, if we adapt EMPIRE OF THE DEAD for other media.” Continue reading George Romero Talks EMPIRE OF THE DEAD

Tom Hiddleston portrays Loki for the third time in Thor: The Dark World. After the events of The Avengers Loki sits in prison and Thor has lost any brotherly love he ever had.

We’ve established the [Thor and Loki] characters across two films,” he says. “So it means you can color in more shades with each character. Thor can get darker as a character…[and] it means that Loki can get even more [complex].” the actor tells Marvel.com.

The threat of a greater evil leads the God of Thunder to ask his half brother for help against Malekith and the Dark Elves. Continue reading Tom Hiddleston on Loki In THOR THE DARK WORLD
