Geek Media Round-Up: October 7, 2008

7 Oct 2008  Media

Art

  • It was inevitable, someone was going to Steampunk a Storm Trooper. (Preliminary sketch here)
  • More Iron Man Concept Art Than You Can Shake a Stick At. The title says it all.

Comics

  • Top Five Comic Book Movies That Outdo Their Origins gets a little dubious at the point where it mentions the Phantom, but if you substituted Rocketeer for Phantom, it would be pretty much dead on.

Film

  • According to Five Doomsday Movies Ranked by Likelihood, Skynet is never going to become a reality, but that doesn’t keep me from administering a Turing Test to my fancy toaster every time burns my toast out of spite.
  • Jeff Bridges talks Tron.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Jelly Ink Press is offering the anthology “Magic for Beginners” by Kelly Link for free through its website.
  • Free Fiction: Listen to “The Fable of the Octopus” by Peter Beagle at PodCastle.
  • Free Fiction: Read “The Mound” by H.P. Lovecraft all through October at Space Westerns.
  • Free Fiction: Tales of the Zombie War is a new website devoted to zombie fiction.

Television

  • The Associated Press takes a look behind the scenes of the new series, Sanctuary.

Video Games

  • Screenshots of the upcoming Stargate: Worlds MMO.

Writing

  • Who are The World’s Best Paid Authors? Here’s a hint: J.K. Rowling could buy and sell your book-pirating ass in a New York minute. Surprisingly, Stephen King doesn’t make the cut, which makes me think that he needs to fire his manager.
