The sights, the sounds and everything in between were definitely a treat to get away for a couple of days and have fun. That being said, a definite high point that weekend was being able to chat with the crew of Skybound’s new Energon Universe comic book series.

As a hardcore Transformers fan since day one (or G1 aka Generation 1), when I heard about Skybound & creator of The Walking Dead and Invincible, Robert Kirkman not only getting the IPs for Transformers and G.I. Joe but expanding onto the shared universe with a brand new series in Void Rivals, I was sold. 15 months and close to 50 issues collectively later, Energon Universe is nothing to sleep on (especially!) for the nostalgic Transformers/G.I. Joe/Hasbro Universe fans out there.

Check out interviews below for each of the three series that make up the Energon Universe:

From the John Archives: NYCC 2013: The Walking Dead – A Decade of Dead https://adultswimcentral.com/2024/07/30/from-the-john-archives-nycc-2013-the-walking-dead-a-decade-of-dead/ https://adultswimcentral.com/2024/07/30/from-the-john-archives-nycc-2013-the-walking-dead-a-decade-of-dead/#respond Wed, 31 Jul 2024 02:30:35 +0000 https://acpnet.net/?p=1134987 Original posted on Geeknation.com on October 13, 2013

As New York Comic Con 2013 came to a close this past Sunday night, it did so a few hours short of a certain zombie survival TV show’s fourth season premiering on TV. While I still need to play catch-up with Season 3 on Netflix, I’m well aware that “The Walking Dead” has become a fairly big deal over the past 10 years. To celebrate this, Hyundai (makers of awesome cars like the Accent/Transformer I purchased a couple of months ago), in conjunction with Robert Kirkman’s company, Skybound, hosted a gallery outside of New York Comic Con titled “A Decade of Dead.”

The gallery itself featured a bunch of items, including some props used on the TV series, artwork from the comics, and other random memorabilia. On Saturday night, they threw an invite-only VIP party to celebrate the world premiere of a new documentary (also called “A Decade of Dead”), a 20 minute film that chronicles Robert Kirkman’s rise from an average Joe in Kentucky to the creator of a cultural phenomenon which has spawned much of the aforementioned merchandise, the TV show, and even video games. The documentary features chats with Kirkman, artist Charlie Adlard, some of the cast and crew from the TV series, Todd McFarlane (whose company produced many of the toys), folks from Image Comics, and celebri-nerds such as Chris Hardwick and Patton Oswalt. Even the fandom gets some notoriety, as the filmmakers spoke with fans in San Diego who have cool tattoo sleeves and even cooler zombie cosplay.

If you’re into zombies and NOT watching “The Walking Dead,” then you’re probably a zombie yourself. I was glad to have been able to view both the gallery as well as the documentary and to paraphrase Kirkman, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for The Walking Dead in the next 10 years.

Psi Cops are Coming to Adult Swim US in July https://adultswimcentral.com/2024/06/07/psi-cops-are-coming-to-adult-swim-us-in-july/ https://adultswimcentral.com/2024/06/07/psi-cops-are-coming-to-adult-swim-us-in-july/#respond Fri, 07 Jun 2024 14:07:50 +0000 https://adultswimcentral.com/?p=2286 With aforementioned programming still looming/uncertain (but not cancelled), Adult Swim has announced it will be brining last year’s Canadian exclusive, Psi Cops to Adult Swim here in the US on July 7th. The show stars hosts of Canada’s Night Sweats (an animated anthology series) Bart Bachelor and Chris Nielsen as cop buddies who investigate spooky and unexplained phenomenon.

From the preview (below), the show has kind of a Tigtone (and a tiny bit Assy McGee) vibe to it. Considering AS has been branching out to different countries such as Canada as well as Latin America, it will be interesting to see how well the show fits as far as the mainstream American audience is concerned.

Psi Cops is being produced by Canada’s Corvus Entertainment in conjunction with Skybound Galactic (subsidiary of Skybound Entertainment) being Exec Produced by Skybound’s Robert Kirkman (Walking Dead, Void Rivals) as well as both Bachelor and Nielsen (among others).

Check out the preview and more info below:

ADULT SWIM SETS U.S. PREMIERE DATE FOR SUPERNATIONAL ANIMATED COMEDY “PSI COPS”
BURBANK (June 6, 2024) – Coworker friends forever (CFFs) and top paranormal investigators solve mysteries and supernatural crimes in the quarter-hour animated comedy “Psi Cops,” making its U.S. debut on Sunday, July 7 at midnight ET/PT on Adult Swim.

 “Psi Cops” was created by and stars Bart Batchelor and Chris Nielsen (“Night Sweats”). The series follows Kydd (Nielsen) and Felixx (Batchelor) who join a rag-tag group of experts at the secret agency Psi Cops to investigate alleged sightings of aliens, ghosts, demons, and other hocus-pocus nonsense. Batchelor and Nielsen serve as executive producers alongside Robert Kirkman (“Invincible,” “The Walking Dead,”) Chris Ferguson (“Little Fish”), Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (“The Bikeriders”), David Alpert (“Invincible” “The Walking Dead”), and Catherine Winder (“Invincible,” “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”). The series was commissioned by Corus Entertainment, produced by Wind Sun Sky Entertainment and Oddfellows Labs, and is distributed by Skybound Galactic, a division of Skybound Entertainment.
