Heavy Metal Magazine Fan Page

November 12, 2011 - 10 Years
I started this Heavy Metal Magazine Fan Page on November 12, 2001. Now, 10 years later, I've decided to semi-retire the News portion of my site. I will also be removing any future unreleased projects, such as movies and games. I will also stop posting new issues of the magazine. The majority of the rest of my site will remain the same, focusing more on the history of Heavy Metal, rather then the future of the franchise. The reason for this change is that I'm looking to free up some of my own free time. I love doing this site. It's a hobby I enjoy. But keeping this site updated does take up a lot of time. However, my site won't be completely abandoned. By freeing up my updating time, it will give me more time to tidy up or expand the rest of my site. I may also add new things from time to time after they're released, such as new movies, or magazines. In the world of Heavy Metal, there are many things to look forward to, such as movies. Of course the new Heavy Metal movie with Robert Rodriguez, that has been quiet since the announcement in July. Metal Hurlant Chronicles is also quickly coming up (check out the newest trailer). It still needs to find a home in North America though. Europe will start seeing it April 2012. I'm not sure what's happened to the Barbarella remake. It's been quiet for over a year, and was in slow development even before then. Although Captain Sternn looks promising, as it's currently developing a 3 minute trailer to promote to studios. Fistful Of Blood has also been quiet for the last year. Although there's a new movie recently announced, called Sundown Seven. Could this be the same project, just updated? It will also have a graphic novel published by Heavy Metal at some point. And of course there's War Of The Worlds: Goliath. This is the one project I will keep posting news on, until it's released, which should be mid-2012.
