Heavy Metal Magazine Fan Page

November 15, 2008 - Updated Newest Magazine Contents
I've updated the information for the new issue of Heavy Metal, Fall 2008.

November 13, 2008 - Movie Updates
A little bit of Heavy Metal movie news from Kevin Eastman's What's On blog, and his post on the forums. The biggest news is probably that it looks like they might be going back to Paramount, instead of Sony Pictures. But the best news is that Zack Snyder and Gore Verbinski are now officially on board to each direct one segment! Also, there's news on the Fistful Of Blood movie being back on. See Kevin's What's On My Brain for all the details.

October 29, 2008 - Previews For Spring Issue
I've updated the Dates page with the latest Previews catalog information for the Spring 2009 issue. Previews reads,

"Argstein", part two takes readers into 1800's Germany where only the fist and the rifle of the Förster stand between these denizens
of an elemental world and the human inhabitants of the Argstein valley. The issue also features the second part of "Descur".

October 29, 2008 - New Heavy Metal Issue
The new issue of Heavy Metal is out. Fall 2008 is now available. MetalTV.com has some sample pages from it.

October 22, 2008 - As Seen On TV
Thanks to Madbandit for spotting another reference to Heavy Metal in a movie. This time it's in the 2007 movie "Teeth". See my As Seen On TV list for pics and details.

October 15, 2008 - Updated Collector's List
I've added one more movie to my Collector's List. "God Hates Cartoons" is a collection of weird shorts, much like the style of StripTease. Although the only character from the movie that has been in Heavy Metal, is the Frank short by Jim Woodring.

October 14, 2008 - Collector's List Updated
Again, thanks to Jean and his great collection, I've added the "Heavy Metal" Logo Soundtrack Pin to the Collector's List. However, I don't actually know where this was originally available.

October 13, 2008 - Baba Yaga (aka Valentina) Added To Movies Page
There's one movie that I didn't add to my Collector's List update yesterday. That's because Valentina has been in many issues, so I'm listing it's 1973 movie, Baba Yaga, in my Movies page. I filled out the info I had, and I'll fill out the rest when I get a chance.

October 12, 2008 - Updated Collector's List
I've added some more movies and such to my Collector's List. I've listed these here instead of my Movies page because the stories have only been in one or two issues. "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" was in December 1977. "Dawn Of The Dead" was in October 1978. "Buck Rogers" was in September 1979. "Silver Bullet" was called "Cycle Of The Werewolf" in December 1983. There are also some movies that aren't out yet. "Shannara" in April 1977 will be 2 movies for 2009 and 2010. "Elric of Melniboné" in September and November 1979 will be a trilogy of movies starting 2010. "Paradise Lost" in January 1980 will be a movie in 2009. "Bone" in Fall 1997 should be a movie sometime.

September 26, 2008 - Updated Newest Magazine Contents
I've updated the information for the new issue of Heavy Metal, November 2008.

September 24, 2008 - Two Reprinted Stories
In going through some of my issues, I came across 2 stories that had previously been printed in older issues. The story "Bird Dust" in January 1984 was previously printed in November 1977 with a slightly different translation. But even more so, the story "A Mudwog Tale" from May 1981 was reprinted in September 2005. Not only did it have slightly different writing, but also the art was touched up in places, and the 2005 version eliminated one page. I've updated my Magazine List.

September 22, 2008 - Black Sabbath's E5150
It took me this long to realise that the DVD credits for Heavy Metal: The Movie are missing one song. Just before Black Sabbath's song, The Mob Rules, is part of their instrumental song, E5150. I've updated my Movies page.

September 20, 2008 - Barbarella No More
It seems in late July at the San Diego Comic Con, Robert Rodriguez announced he won't be making the Barbarella movie, so he can instead work on making Red Sonja. So, I've removed the new Barbarella from the Movies page.

September 19, 2008 - Zen Items
The story, Zen: Intergalactic Ninja had some action figures made, and a 1993 game for the NES and Game Boy. However, because this story has only been in a few issues so far, I'm just briefly mentioning these items in the Collector's List.

September 19, 2008 - Updated Previous Magazine Contents
I've updated the information for the previous issue of Heavy Metal, September 2008. The variant cover also looks good as a Wallpaper.

September 19, 2008 - Updated Summer 2008 Magazine Contents
I've updated the information for the Summer 2008 issue of Heavy Metal.

September 19, 2008 - Writers For The New Movie
In trying to play catch-up to any news I may have missed over the past few months, Entertainment Weekly reported back in July about the new movie no longer with Paramount (old news, now that we know it's with Sony Pictures instead). But in the article they mentioned a few writers I didn't know about that are involved with the film. They are Steve Niles, Joe Haldeman, and Neal Asher.

September 19, 2008 - Heavy Metal: The Movie DVD With Digital Copy
I've updated the page for Heavy Metal: The Movie. Another DVD version came out in August. Comparing it to the original Collector's Edition, the main differences are that the new version comes with a Digital Copy, so you can play the movie on your PC, PSP, or PS3 without the disc. However, the new version is also missing the art galleries, 5.1 surround sound, and the feature-length rough cut. If you're curious, see my movie page for the exact differences.

September 18, 2008 - Nate Van Dyke Toy
I've updated the Toys section to include a new toy that came out a couple months ago. It's the chimp, Dutch, by Nate Van Dyke from various stories in Heavy Metal Magazine.

September 17, 2008 - New Heavy Metal Issue
The new issue of Heavy Metal is out. November 2008 is now available. MetalTV.com has some sample pages from it.

August 28, 2008 - Video Interview With New Movie Details
rgbFilter was at Toronto's Fan Expo this past weekend and got an interview with Kevin Eastman at the Heavy Metal booth. New information on the new Heavy Metal movie starts around 10:30 into the video. It's now with Sony Pictures, has a $50 million budget, has a release date of 2010, and he mentions three possible directors interested; Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy; The Hobbit), Zack Snyder (Dawn Of The Dead; 300; Watchmen), and Gore Verbinski (The Ring; Pirates Of The Caribbean).

August 16, 2008 - New Heavy Metal Issue
The new issue of Heavy Metal came out a few days ago. September 2008 is now available. MetalTV.com has some sample pages from it. This issue also has a limited edition version with a variant cover for the "Fluorescent Black" story. Copies were handed out at the San Diego Comic-Con last month.

August 16, 2008 - Updated Dates Page
I've updated the Dates page with the latest Previews catalog information for the Fall 2008 issue. The issue will include "Mardi-Gras: #2" and "Love Craft". I've also listed the Fan Expo Canada in Toronto August 22-24, which Heavy Metal and Kevin Eastman will be at booth #338.

June 26, 2008 - New Heavy Metal Issue
The new issue of Heavy Metal is out. Summer 2008 is now available. MetalTV.com has some sample pages from it. (On a side note; sorry that this update isn't up to my normal standards (I haven't updated the magazine list yet, etc). I'm slowly trying to get things together, so I can make better updates while I'm away.) Update July 1, 2008 - I've updated my magazine list and such. I finally got all my things together, so I can start making proper updates again. My only enemy now is time.

May 30, 2008 - This Site Will Be Dormant For A While
I thought this might happen someday soon, and it looks like it's going to happen now. This will be my last post for a while. Unfortunately my personal career life is going to keep me busy for a while. Unfortunately I also don't know how long that will be for. It might only be a few days; in which case it won't really matter. It might be for a few weeks, in which case I might miss a bit of news while I'm gone. Or it might even last a few months, in which case a lot will probably happen while I'm away. But if it's going to be that long, I'll probably find some other way to update the site. Be back soon. Update June 06, 2008 - Be back around late July.

May 29, 2008 - Collectors List Small Update
I've added the poster, Stacy E. Walker by Lorenzo Di Mauro.

May 28, 2008 - Thank You
To all the contributors and visitors to this site; I know I don't have a proper credits page, but I've been wanting to say some sort of Thank You for a while. Thanks.

May 28, 2008 - Collectors List Small Update
Again, thanks to Jean and his great collection, I've updated the Collectors List and the Music page with a Heavy Metal 2000 keychain. Originally it was a limited edition exclusive offer if you bought the Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack at Best Buy.

"Felicidad," Part 2. The few survivors of the Darling's crew must experience a terrifying journey on a river! In this second episode,
the survivors attempt to reach Puerta de la Felicidad, but the mutation of one of them cast an additional shadow on their metal
health. Are they all condemned to be monsters?

May 23, 2008 - Updated Newest Magazine Contents

May 21, 2008 - ~~Summer~~ September Issue Variant Cover
The ~~next issue, the Summer~~ September issue, will include the story, "Fluorescent Black" by Matt Wilson and Nathan Fox. According to a post by Matt Wilson on the HM Forums, there will be a regular and variant cover. The variant cover version, by Nathan Fox, will be available at the San Diego Comic-Con (July 24-27). HM has only done one variant cover before, and that was for the November 1999 issue. Update May 23, 2008 - Fluorescent Black will actually be in the September issue.

May 20, 2008 - New War Of The Worlds Illustrations

May 19, 2008 - FAQ Update
There's a question that I've been asked a few times, so I've updated my FAQ with it.

Q: I loved reading Æon Flux in Heavy Metal, but I forget which issues it was in; do you know?
A: Although there are Æon Flux comics and such out there, they were never in or published by Heavy Metal. Although there was an
interview with the creator, Peter Chung, in the March 1997 issue. His illustration style is also influenced by Mœbius, among others.

May 14, 2008 - New Heavy Metal Issue
