Nancy Collins Stakes a Claim on Vampirella

Nancy Collins has inked a deal to write the Vampirella series from Dynamite Entertainment.  For those not sure of who Nancy Collins is her series Sunglasses After Dark featuring the Sonja Blue character will probably sound familiar.  Nancy over in a post on ICv2 says she wants to bring Vampirella back to her horror roots and make it a darker story.  For me I hope this happens, because at times writers forget about the horror background and make it more of an adventure story.  Link back to ICv2’s article here for more information: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/28016.html

Hello Kitty and Playboy Hmmm

Did not see this mash-up coming.  But I guess marketing is marketing even though it make you feel a little uncomfortable.  Hello Kitty (celebrating it’s 40 anniversary) and Playboy (celebrating it’s 60 anniversary) have teamed up to provide merchandise to their fans in this mash-up of brand names.  The French clothing & accessories retailer Colette created the merchandise and debuted it at Paris’ Crazy Horse caberet.  Yuko Yamaguchi (Hello Kitty designer) and Sarah Andelman (Colette creative director & purchasing manager) where present.  If this is something within your taste then you will want to link back to AnimeNews Network for pictures of the merchandise here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-03-03/hello-kitty-teams-up-with-playboy-for-a-new-kind-of-cute-sexy
