Alternative-rock band Fall Out Boy will be releasing the first issue of their comic book called Fall Out Toy Works on September 2. The comic is a collaborative effort between the band and Dr. Romanelli, a partner they befriended in the past to make custom jackets. According to Hypebeast, this joint venture will introduce not only a comic book series but also “other creations” which are still under wraps. Head over to the official website for future information: FallOutToyWorks. Peek after the break for the comic book plot setup, and see the gallery below for some of the comic art panels.
The Fray covers Kanye West’s single, Heartless. Great song. Brilliant video.

While I am still mourning the series finale of FOX’s Prison Break, its name has popped up in the world of video games. Publisher Deep Silver is set to make the Prison Break game for “next-gen consoles and the PC.” There is no word on a release date. I am not sure how I feel about a video game based on Prison Break, a coveted TV show of mine. If it is done right and can shed some light on lingering mysteries of Season 1, I have no doubt it will have fans of the show flock to game stores to pick it up. I will keep my head to the ground for this one.
According to Gamespot: “Prison Break the game features a storyline that runs parallel with the first season of Fox’s TV series. The game follows Company agent Tom Paxton, who is sent to Fox River State Penitentiary to investigate why TV series protagonist Michael Scofield is doing time for bank robbery. The game incorporates a number of characters from the TV show and also depicts a number of climactic first-season events from Paxton’s perspective.”

The Humanthesizer is a joint collaboration between electronic musician Calvin Harris, Sony Music UK, and Bare conductive body ink. And damn is it cool. Engadget: “Each patch is triggered by one of the girls closing a circuit with her hands or feet — you can see the “wires” painted on their arms and legs if you look closely…” There are ladies in bikinis.; they are covered in conductive body paint. On the floor there are pads on the floor that are connected to eachother by electricity. When they ladies step on the pads with their “conductive” feet, sounds are played. These sounds can be played to create beats or perform a choreographed song. Check it out for yourself in the videos above. As you will see, there are many different ways this tech can be used to create music in an innovative fashion. I can definitely see something like this become a very successful attraction in Vegas or even make its way into music videos and musician’s tours.

Mr Hudson is back with another hit. Actually, we have already seen much from his single “Supernova,” including the original song and a music video featuring Kanye West. Here we have a stripped down version of the track; it is a live rendition that features a string quartet. When I say stripped, I mean it; there is no auto-tune, no techno-esque bass line, and even the featured artist (KW) is absent. Hudson shines on this track as his true vocal and production talent take center stage without all the bells and whistles behind him. Listen to it below. Intrigued? Download it here. Haven’t heard the original version or seen the music video? Check after the break for it.

The reimagining of the 1980’s classic mini-series “V” is coming to a TV near you much sooner than expected. Instead of premiering as a mid-season show, “V” is set to start on November 3, 2009. Cast members include Lost’s Elizabeth Mitchell and and Firefly’s Alan Tudyk.
Executive producer Scott Peters: “We’ve got [the story] all mapped out and pretty solid direction for everything. We certainly know where we’re going for the first season and second season and we have a really solid plan the whole way through.” Producer Jeffrey Bell, “We know what the end is. We know where we’re going. Whether that’s three years, four years or beyond that, it’s gravy. There is a plan and we’ll stick to that.” President of ABC Steve McPherson stated that V will run for four seasons, depending on the show’s success, of course. Aliens are invading planet Earth. Sci-fi fans rejoice, it’s going to one hell of a show.

Writer/director John Hughes passed away on the age of 59. He directed many classic 80s films like Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Home Alone, and my personal favorite, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. He will always be remembered for bringing that special edge and coolness to geeks all around the world. Also, he was not afraid of making an impact on society by stepping outside the status quo and covering social issues among teens (re: The Breakfast Club). If you have not seen his movies, I highly recommend you create a “John Hughes weekend” and enjoy all of his hilarious, touching, and influential films. Thank you John Hughes for making geeks, well, cool.
This is great news, everyone!! Creator, mastermind, and genius Joss Whedon has officially come out and stated that a Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog sequel is in the works and a story is bring penned right now!
Whedon: “We’re in there plugging. The writers are trying to put something together. We haven’t even decided on a venue. We have a story and we’re working that. We’re just starting with that. Doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, [we’re just] just figuring out the story. We’re really excited about what it is. More, I cannot say.”
Yes, he is tight-lipped on the details. Still, the very fact that the Whedon family (papa Joss and sons Zack and Jed) are hard at work on the story is very exciting. The revolutionary (and Emmy-nominated!) web series made a splash on the Internets with its low budget musical back in 2008. A sequel is highly anticipated by all Dr. Horrible fans. Cross your fingers for reprising roles from the extremely talented Neil Patrick Harris, Nathon Fillion, and Felicia Day. Peace out, but not literally.
*In celebration of this good news, take a time out and watch all three acts of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog above. You know you want to.

Watch this clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live. Seth Rogen reminisces about that last time he stopped by the show. Old footage is shown revealing a major embarrassment for Rogen ignited by the one and only Megan Fox. To speed up the process, start watching at the 2:43 timestamp. Hilariously humiliating!
