Cartoon Network premiered two comic-based telefilms last week.
The first was Firebreather based on the series created by Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn and published by Image Comics. The protagonist is a teenaged boy half-dragon and half-human. I append the teaser trailer below; a longer trailer can be accessed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApoLKbwU_VQ&feature=channel. The film is not yet available on DVD but can be purchased on iTunes for $9.99
The second telefilm was Young Justice a pilot film for the forthcoming animated series (launching in January 2011) and inspired by the long-running Young Justice series. As was true with the comic, the animated series features the sidekicks, young relatives, and (in the case of Superman) teenaged clones of members of the Justice League.
Originating in 2010, Saving the Day: Accessing Comics in the Twenty-first Century is designed as a aid to furthering studies of the comics, comic art, and translations of comics into/from other media. The blog is associated with both The Arthur of the Comics Project, an effort of the Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, and The Medieval Comics Project, an effort of the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture.
