DangerKatt Creative Studio is happy to announce that their inaugural title, DangerKatt’s PROPHET, will be released digitally on ComiXology this coming Wednesday, April 16th.

DangerKatt’s PROPHET made headlines at San Diego Comic-Con last year when it was announced that Hollywood-based production company Outlier (TWILIGHT, PERCY JACKSON) had acquired the film rights to the book, with James Cotten, E. Thompson and Mark Morgan onboard to produce. The title joins ComiXology as part of its Submit program, which allows independent publishers an outlet for digital distribution.

20th Century Fox has acquired the film rights to “Wanted” and “Kick Ass” author Mark Millar’s 2010 limited series “Superior”.

The story revolves around a young boy stricken with multiple sclerosis who is granted one wish by an alien monkey: to become a Superman-like superhero named Superior.

Problems arise when the boy learns that the monkey isn’t an alien, but a demon who demands the boy’s soul in return for his transformation. If not, his wish will be undone and he will return to his original form.

Matthew Vaughn, who directed the first “Kick Ass” film and the upcoming adaptation of Millar’s “The Secret Service,” will produce.

Fox is now currently seeking a writer to adapt the comic.

Jason Aaron’s 60 issue-long series, which premiered in 2007, is described as a crime noir set on a Native American reservation in South Dakota. Doug Jung “Banshee” will pen the script and executive produce.

The series focused on the Oglala Lakota inhabitants who grapple with organized crime, poverty, drug and alcohol addiction and local politics while trying to preserve their cultural identity.

“Scalped” joins a quickly growing development slate at WGN America which debuts “Salem,” its first scripted drama, this coming Sunday. It’s also developing the Justin Lin-produced “Radiant Doors” series, the period drama series “Shadow Land,” the atomic bomb creation-themed “Manhattan” and a “Ten Commandments” mini-series.

A brand new short from producer Bruce Timm featuring a lost tale from Batman’s past, the Dark Knight tracks a strange giant to the mysterious lair of Dr. Hugo Strange.

In the past, when Robert Kirkman has been asked if Norman Reedus’ character Daryl Dixon from AMC’s The Walking Dead TV show will ever be included in the comic books, he’s always indicated that he likes having different character unique to different mediums. However, he’s also always stopped short of giving a definitive “never” answer, leaving the door open for the possibility down the road.

Most recently, Skybound played a little April Fools’ Day joke, teasing the inclusion of Daryl Dixon in the comic books. While the tease was clearly a joke, it did get a lot of fans thinking that it might be a possibility.

However, in a new interview with MTV, Robert Kikman has finally given a definitive answer in regards to Daryl Dixon appearing in The Walking Dead comic books.

“All April Fool’s jokes aside, that’s the final answer there. It would be very strange to pull an element from the show and shoehorn it into the comic because of his immense popularity,” said Kirkman. “The comic book is on its own path, and I’ve certainly got far reaching plans for that. I like that Daryl is the element of the show that is an agent of change, that really affects every story as we try to adapt them. Losing that by putting him in the comic would do a disservice to the show, and the comics.”

Of course, that answer still leaves the door ever so slightly cracked to the possibility, but here is where Kirkman slams the door shut for good.“As much as I love Norman Reedus, and everybody loves Norman Reedus, you’ll never see Daryl Dixon in the comic. There, I said it,” added Kirkman.
