Blatant Production


At first I assumed, based on the general nature of Blatant Comics and their previous productions, that the news I am to share today was - in fact - one steaming mass of april fool's goodness. Far too often I am strung along on an idea that is just too good to be true, and this story definitely seemed one of those moments.

'Last Blood', the most recent publication from Blatant (and currently in it's fourth issue - the first issue of which actually debuted on Free Comic Book Day in 2007), has been optioned to Benderspink. This production company has numerous comic book based projects on the go, including the much anticipated Y: The Last Man.

The story itself has everything a healthy, growing and imaginative guy needs: a tale of zombies facing off against vampires who are trying to protect the remnants of the human race as they struggle to survive following the zombie apocalypse. Can it GET any better!?

I know! Too good to be true, right!?

Well unless Variety is into April Fools jokes as well in their publications, then this is no joke! Be prepared to see a Last Blood movie in theaters in the future!

Last Blood is written by Bobby and Chris Crosby, and is illustrated by Owen Gieni.
