Movie News
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008For those who didn’t get it, yesterday’s April Fool’s Day joke was that it wasn’t a joke! I thought it was pretty funny. I enjoyed the confusion it caused.
I’m very pleased to be working with Benderspink, a great company that has produced The Ring, The Butterfly Effect, and A History of Violence, which was based on a graphic novel and was nominated for two Oscars, including Best Adapted Screenplay. There’s still an outside chance that I’ll be writing the screenplay, but that’s looking very doubtful at the moment. I should have finished it months ago obviously, but I was too lazy and busy with other things. Having a big name writer adapt it, though, will most likely help a lot with getting a green light, so we’ll see what happens. More details later!
New comic page within a few days hopefully!
It’s crazy how fast news like this spreads. Most of these were up within a couple hours after the Variety article was posted last night:

April 2nd, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Long time lurker here but haven’t posted before. Just wanted to say congrats and all that jazz. Can’t wait to hear more about it!
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:17 pm

April 2nd, 2008 at 4:30 pm
W00t! Go you! ^^ Yay! Congrats. ^^
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Very much excited for you guys. Enjoy Stardom!
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
And all because of me ahhhh it feels good to help the needy in……..need…
no but really good job congrats.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
hey im one of the first people to read this…heh…i feel good…i feel good
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:19 pm
I salute you, sir. Here’s to having it go well!
/raisesglassintoastingmotion.
Any ideas when filming or casting or anything of that nature will start?
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Pfft… We all knew this was bound to happen. Your comic is too awesome to just pass up.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Sweetness. I can’t wait to see it in theaters.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Congratulations!!! I can’t wait to see it!
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Well played, well played =D
And WOW, an actual movie, this i gonna watch =D
And keep up the comics =p
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Well, damn. Congratulations. I fully expect to see Murdo decapitating as many zombies as possible on the big screen, in all the blood-stained glory he deserves.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 pm
My most heartfelt congratulations!
When I first read that you intended for LB to be turned into a movie, I was skeptical. I’ve had lots of grand projects planed that fell through (my own fault for not taking initiative), and they were on a very small scale compared to this. The fact that this project has actually been picked up proves your vast superiority over us mortals.
I can guarantee that I will by a ticket and see this when it comes out. I’m clueless as to the movie development process, is it possible to guess when it will arrive in theaters?
Also, please, please, please, please monitor the process very carefully, I know of many awesome stories that were ruined in the book-to-screen process. I would hate for that to happen to last blood (although, even totally ruined it would be a lot better than a lot of the movies out now).
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Awesome, man! I’ll be there to see this on opening day! But no mention of Owen on these sites? The artist needs some lovin’ too!
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Congrats! …YES!
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Thanks Kez.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Congrats!!! I love this series!!!!!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Congratulations!!!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Congratulations guys!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Fuckin’ awesome.
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Whoohoo!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Congrats on the big news!
I’ll see it if(hopefully ‘when’) it comes out, definitely.
Here’s hoping they don’t change much.
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Well played, though this is one April’s foul I’m happy to have felt for. w00t
good luck and gratz ^^
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm
*falls to her knees in anguish* FIE! I KNOW NOT WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Major congratulations to you sir!
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Congradulations!
Bobby, I recall you may have mentioned that they only way you wouldent write the screenplay is if you were offered obseen amounts of money.
Did you get your obseen amount of money?
Hopefully yes?
Owen, will you have any part to play in the making of the film?
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:28 pm
there truely are gods and they love us for they give us zombies…grats guys..ill be first in line when the movie hits
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:34 pm
The answer to practically all questions will be “I don’t know” at this point. Long way to go, we’ll keep you updated on the stuff we can keep you updated on.
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Congratulations! I was thoroughly pwned by the April Fool’s joke, and am quite glad to learn that it was in fact true. I won’t say I “can’t wait” for the movie, because I can, and must. I am very very much looking forward to it though :p
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 pm
holy shit . That is the only thing i can say. Congratulations Bobby, this is sweet beyond beleif. I gurantee I will see it the first dday it comes… and ruin it for my friends by telling them how it ends, bwhaaa. To bad it won’t be out for another two years min
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Cool, weird thing last blood actually got down on the topwebcomics list instead of going up as this increased popularity in the media should have done.
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
It’s not weird when you realize that there’s no vote button on this page!
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:04 am
Thats true.
Also Bobby that was an awesome April Fools Joke even better then I thought it was. Also this is awesome news for us fans of Last Blood, because well seriously who here doesn’t want to see it in movie form. Pity your probably not writing it, but still now we get to be those arrogant little fans everyone hates that say “I prefered the original” YAY FOR THAT!
George (KITEY IS DEAD :0)[yes i plan on doing this for a while longer]
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:12 am
OMG bobby Grats Its gonna be a Awesome Movie!
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:24 am
my congrats on that. It will be an awesome movie, even if I will have to travel to the US to see it. I) hope it also comes out on DVD, and you find a site that actually allows your worldwide readership (Me from germany, for example) to order it.
Otherwise, my best wishes for you and owen. I hope you bend the filmmakers over and get a decent ammount of money out of them. After all, you have earned it.
OOh, and if you have any missing posts to fill in the cast list, like zombie being hacked to pieces by mack, or one of the vampires /zombies/humans…. you know where to look for people who will do it for minimal ammounts of money.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:35 am
Congrats Bobby, Hopefully this works out for other projects as well. And if a big name writer adapts it, hopefully they will use you and/or Anko, as consultants.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:37 am
Gratz ! That’s all I wanted to say !
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:21 am
Congratulations. I must admit I was among the confused. I followed the link to Variety and considered the many possibilities. Was it a joke within a joke? (Strong possibility and hopefully) Could the Variety site be fake? (Sure looks real) Could Variety be making a joke? (Doubtful)
Anyway, I’m really glad it’s real!
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:44 am
Wa ! Congratulations and keep on going ! Hope it will be available in Europe.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:48 am
OMIGOD! I think I will have a seizure!
Finally some progress is made with the LB series – congrats!
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:52 am
Congratulations on the film dealy Bobby. I’ve just discovered this site, and the comic thanks to the announcement and love what I’ve read and can’t wait for more.
Great stuff!
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:04 am
CONGRATS! looking forward to the future and the big screen… and the tv series to follow the survivors ,and the animated adaptation,action figures,etc….
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:40 am
Like the man said, you have cheap labor at your fingertips. And many people who already love the story, and will do just about anything you want.
As formerly stated, congratulations.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:18 am
Hey, been reading since page 3 and gotta say HUGE congrats to you on this deal. You have created what is probably my favorite web comic and you guys deserve to be the first millionaire web comic creators.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:51 am
What more can I say than: I can’t fuhreaking wait.
Gratz on the movie deal. :]
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:59 am
Great big congrats!
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:00 am
That *has* to be the best April Fool’s joke *ever*.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:23 am
woot!
Way to go you guys
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:38 am
Gotta say good job on getting a start on the movie adaption.
Congrats Mr. Crosby.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:20 am
I guess this means we probably won’t get to be zombies in your movie.
Keep us posted on any updates though! Can’t wait to go see it!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:32 am
So are you still gonna have the hot redhead chick (whose IMDB profile was linked in the comments of an early strip) in it?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 am
congrats on the movie
can’t wait to see it don’t let them mess it up
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 am
CONGRATULATIONS!! That is AWESOME, guys! I can’t wait for it. ^^
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:06 am
“you guys deserve to be the first millionaire web comic creators.”
There’s been lots of millionaire web comic creators already.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:26 am
I don’t know about Bob or Owen, but when I would have heard that news I would have been like….
*jumping* MUTHER F*** YEAH!
As it is I am kinda doing it right now!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:59 am
Haha, congratulations, looking forward to watching the LB film
Long time to wait yet though. Ah well, I can re-read the comic so many times that I’ll be able to point out everything in the film that’s different from the comic in a loud, obnoxious voice when I get to see it ;D
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:05 pm
To repeat, if I wrote/directed the film myself it would still be a million times different from the comic with many huge changes/additions. Just gotta try to make sure those changes/additions are the right ones.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Congrats! I love your comic and would love to see it on the big screen. Its so different from all others its what we need. Good Luck!
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I was just linked to this comic by a friend, and just finished reading through the whole thing. I honestly dislike zombies.
That said, I think you’ve done a FANTASTIC job with the mythos of zombies and vampires, and excellent storytelling. Congratulations on the adaptation, it is well deserved and a better choice could not have been made.
At any rate, I’ll be linking this comic to my friends and the communities I frequent.
Keep up the incredible work! =D
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Well, now it’s time to work on the movie sequel. Last Blood 2: The Forums! But who do we get to play Bobby?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Now that is a movie I need to see on opening night. Even if I have to drive all the way to Denver.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:31 pm
Yay!
Now, I need page 9, or I may kill someone.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:35 pm
That’s awesome gentlemen!! Congratulations to you.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Owen, you really should get to be involved with the Director of Photography. It’s only right that you should be integral in developing the “look” of the Last Blood film.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Whooo!!
Congrats!
I will be glad to see it.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Congratulation!! Really hope to get this show up in south east asia! Loved the story. Real nice!
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I’ve been reading this strip for a over a year….I am such a fan!! Congrats on the wonderful news!!! I’m so excited to see how this will adapt. Good luck with it all!!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Congrats! I hope this goes through and that they don’t muck up the movie adaptation. You never know with producers. Looking forward to see this on the big screen!

April 3rd, 2008 at 10:13 pm
After following MarryMe for months, I finally decided to check out this comic. I read the whole thing in one sitting. Good job on the comic. I thought the premise of vampires protecting humans from zombies was a good departure from the usual zombie-eating-humans and good-vampires-protecting-humans-from-bad-vampires story fare.
Congrats on the movie deal.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:26 am
Congratulations for an original April Fool’s day joke… And for the movie, of course.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:40 am
GO BOBBY! Good luck with the movie and all.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:50 am
ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING SERIOUS!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE MAKING LB INTO A MOVIE!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!! EXCUSE MY FRENCH BUT THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!! THAT IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!! I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT!!!!!!
ANOTHER HELL YES FOR THIS!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Great news, Bobby!
I wish you mind-blowing box office figures, a cult following, and a future special DVD release (with Bobby & Owen interviews included!).
Good luck in the world of cinema
April 4th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
its nice to see new pages but the post delays of the actual comic itself had sadly slowed immensely i miss seeing new and awesome pages of the comic but i still check regularly in hopes of a change
April 4th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
I can hardly wait! That’s a movie I definately want to see!
April 4th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
I am extremely excited to see this movie because I love the comic!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
congrats dude!
April 4th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Congratulations!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
WHOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I will buy it myselfs! Geeze, they did the ring? We’re not indie! Big, big! We get the cgi with the underwater effects you babbled about on the first pages, ‘ight? ‘IGHT~!? 
April 5th, 2008 at 1:44 am
Bobby, Owen, you guys kick ass. Glad the movie deal went threw, and can’t wait for more news on that front. This is really fucking awesome.
Now, a comment on something said 2 pages ago…
1. “Bill M. Says:
April 1st, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Okay, I’ve had some thoughts in the interim of a new comic. If a wrestler should play Rage in an eventual movie, there should only be one choice, that of ‘Lionheart’ Chris Jericho, since upon review, Rage is more feline in his lycantropic appearance than lupine.”
Um, Lycanthropy by definition is “lupine” as you put it. That is to say, lycanthropy is essentially werewolfism. Nothing feline about it. Not trying to start an argument, but as a linguistics geek and werewolf buff, I simply had to point that out.
“Lycanthropy is the ability or power of a human being to undergo transformation into a wolf, or wolf-like characteristics. The term comes from Greek lykánthropos (???????????): ?????, lýkos (”wolf”) + ????????, ánthr?pos (”man”) (Rose, 230).
The word lycanthropy is sometimes used generically for any transformation of a human into animal form, though the precise term for that is technically “therianthropy”. Sometimes, “zoanthropy” is used instead of “therianthropy” (Guiley, 192).
The word has also been linked to Lycaon, a king of Arcadia who, according to Ovid’s Metamorphoses, was turned into a ravenous wolf in retribution for attempting to serve human flesh (his own son) to visiting Zeus in an attempt to disprove the god’s divinity.
There is also a mental illness called lycanthropy in which a patient believes he or she is, or has transformed into, an animal and behaves accordingly. This is sometimes referred to as clinical lycanthropy to distinguish it from its use in legends.”
April 5th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Big news gang! I have a script!! Expect a new page this coming week. Guaranteed!
It’s a good one too!
April 5th, 2008 at 3:01 am
Sweet.
April 5th, 2008 at 5:01 am
A movie on the first GN. brilliant, hopefully if it gets received well we could have the new “Spider-man” of comic book movies here.
April 5th, 2008 at 8:28 am
You are our savior
(drooling all over the keyboard)
April 5th, 2008 at 8:36 am
This is terrific news, and I am glad for it, but I was disappointed to see no mention of Owen Gieni’s contribution to the project anywhere. To be honest, while the concept of the comic is very intriguing, I was mostly here to appreciate the visuals, which were often exceptional.
April 5th, 2008 at 8:48 am
BOBBY!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trust me, I’ll be the first one in line here at the movies!
April 5th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Hey, long time reader of the comic, just want to say congratulations
April 5th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Hi Bobby,
Well done! Keep writing! I just found this series last night, and have read every page since – very, very good.
Thank you.
April 5th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Micah, I apologize for the misuse of lycanthropy. While I have heard the word zoanthropy on rare occasions and never really knew of therianthropy, I was most familiar with lycanthropy as the man/animal metamorphosis with the most common use with werewolves. I guess I need to diversify the authors I read to those that use therianthropy and zoanthropy.
Bobby, when LB does hit the big screen, I will definitely see it, and when it hits DVD, I will definitely buy it. Keep up the good work.
April 6th, 2008 at 1:15 am
It’s not a big deal. I haven’t heard therianthropy used much either, most people just say “were-creatures” which just sounds kind of dumb. I’m just a werewolfe geek (who’s family name happens to be Wolf) and I often nitpick word usage despite my own horrible gramar.
April 6th, 2008 at 4:22 am
Wow..that is absolutely freaking awesome. Congratulations!! I simply adore what you’ve done with the vampire/zombie mythos in this series; can’t wait to see it as a film. Grats again!
April 6th, 2008 at 7:24 am
Congradulations! I just started reading this comic about 3 days ago and finally got caught up. This book is amazing. The artwork is excellent and the story is entralling. Great work, you guys deserve the recognition and I am looking forward to seeing the movie and any future work that you gentlemen put out next.
April 6th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
With a mention on AOTS your gona have a bit more of the attention you deserve =D
April 6th, 2008 at 11:38 pm
I think that is amazing news! Congrats! I’m gonna tell all my mates about it (i live in New Zealand) and I can’t wait untill it comes out! EEK! SO EK.SIE.TED!!!!
April 7th, 2008 at 1:22 am
Recently stumbled onto Marry Me and this, and I was basically just gonna lurk and be all quiet like and enjoy the story. But, ZOMG, Congrats! I hope you have fairly smooth sailing from here on out and manage to get your project to the big screen as true to your vision for it as it can be.
April 7th, 2008 at 2:55 am
Congrats on the deal. And as stated above if you need zombies and stuff, you know where to find people who will do it for FREE. #points at self# but you’d have to fly me from Australia first (so yeah i know i gots no hope of being in that movie).
Hope you guys get more royalties than can fill a swimming pool and enjoy the rest of your lives in supreme comfort and ya know, never ever need to wait for special pens or anything ever again (I died waiting for updates when Owen wasn’t up and running) due to the fact you’ll be rich enough to have rooms full of them.
Other than that, please try to never be too extremely busy with your movie to write occasional updates for us devoted fans…
Love the work
-Chelle-
April 7th, 2008 at 3:47 am
Hi!
I just found this comic a couple of days ago, and it quickly became a favorite of mine. Congratulations on the movie, I hope everything goes well with it. Also, I’d like to say that the last panel of page 99 has become one of my favorite exchanges of all time. Gotta love AP, pity he died so quickly after his introduction. Oh well. Keep up the excellent work!

April 7th, 2008 at 4:30 am
onya bobby, onya.
April 7th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Hey. I just started reading this comic and I could not stop until I had read every single page. Congratulations on your deal I am excited to see what it will look like on the big screen.
April 7th, 2008 at 6:53 am
This is the greatest thing since sliced bread!
This will be the ultimate battle of cult followings. Which movie will be better?
Serenity V.S. Last Blood.

*parties*
Seriously, this is so cool!
April 7th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Big news. Congrats guys. I had my doubts originally on the feasibility of being picked up by a big producer at first due to the complexity of the plot and the general trend of movie popularity nowadays. Well, now we know, and I hope the adaptation is a good one.
Peace,
Devath
April 7th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Wow. Maybe I should hit ‘next page’ before I cry about April Fool’s jokes. This makes my day entirely. I am beyond words. I will now start to cry happily in a corner.
April 7th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Well, congrats on it all. I see that you’re now listed in one of my other favorite webistes: upcoming horror movies
http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movies/lastblood.php
Good luck
April 8th, 2008 at 6:23 am
I will take this time to make a statement about this movie.
ADDISON F***ING PAYNE better look like the comic!!!
Or you will feel my wrath.
April 8th, 2008 at 7:05 am
most more comix pls
April 8th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Uhm no comic for a month and all you have to post is an article?
uh yah . . . wooooo
I . . . am . . . excited . . .
Way to go guys, how about next month you post some Pepsi adverts or some bikini pictures?
April 8th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Echo needs to die away. This news should be enough to keep every loyal fan going strong for weeks if not months. We know another page is in the works, Owen is probably drawing it as we “speak”, have patience. Besides, this is entirely voluntary on Bobby’s part, he could have easily said show’s over after the end of the original comic. He could still end it at any moment he wanted to. But no, out of the goodness of his heart, he gave us more, and continues to do so. AND IT IS FREE, THERE IS NO ENTITLEMENT, we are privileged to read whatever he writes and see whatever Owen draws.
(PS, if there are any shoots in the northeast I would love to be an extra…)
April 8th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I sayed before and I say it again: excellent!
April 8th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Sweeet, looking forward to it, where do you think you guys will film? it would be awsome if i could be an extra

The smart-ass cometh. What are you going to whine about next? This is some of the best news we’ve heard regarding LB in a long time, but you aren’t satisfied.
They’re making a Last Blood MOVIE and all you can worry about is the lack of an update, expecially after Owen said (more like promised) that a new page was going up this coming week. Wow.
(Maybe you’d rather see the bikini pictures, though.)
April 9th, 2008 at 1:24 am
Still working on it. Hockey playoffs start tomorrow so I’m trying to get as much finished as I can in case things get crazy. My Flames play Wed,Thurs, and Sunday so I’m thinking the page might not be finished til Friday or Saturday unfortunately.
Bad news for me and good news to LB fans, the Flames have to face the deadly SJ Sharks so their run might not be long. That said, if Calgary can beat SJ, they can go all the way.
April 9th, 2008 at 5:25 am
HEY GUYS forget it. HOCKEY! he’s a gonner. I’m female and live in the south, and even I know this is gonna be it for a while. lol
ECHO GET F***ED! YOU’RE A NAZI!!!!
April 9th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Congrats on the deal, can not wait to see the movie! and where is ANKO havent seen her on here in a while!
April 9th, 2008 at 9:15 am
this is good. very good
April 9th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Wow! Congradulations Bobby and Chris! First time i’ve posted a comment in a few months. WONDERFUL JOB.
April 9th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Ah, Shayna, what would I do without you calling everyone a nazi all the time?
No really, why? It’s not even appropriate. What’s the link between posting sarcastic complaints and being a nazi?
April 9th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I just keep coming back and looking at this when I’m feeling sad and need a pick-me-up.
HAPPY!

Flames won the first game in the SJ series! Fantastic! Whooo! Keep it up!
April 10th, 2008 at 4:12 am
Thats good news, who’re you playing next? and were there any fights at the match (crowd or players)
April 10th, 2008 at 4:25 am
um Mims…PLEASE TAKE THAT STICK OUT OF YOUR ASS!!
Your are poking people when you bend over and speak.
FYI. I can use any derrogatory word I want in the name of fun and NAZI is the most insulting term I can utilize to describe uniform, nut-jobs who criticize the schedules of true artists.
What? Are you going to send notes to all the kids in my elementary who called me a “Nazi” because I was born in Heidleberg too? OR are you going to nit-pick at all the kids in my high school who reemed me for having a Jewish first name.
Its either all okay or not at all. They say its okay, as long as I don’t curse overtly. So stick that in your pipe Adolf!
April 10th, 2008 at 4:51 am
Oh god stop playing vitcim because kids called you names. Just because dumb kids called you a Nazi doesn’t give you the right to act as stupidly as they did. And how did Nazis criticizes artists? Adolf Hitler loved art and wanted to create a world order in which culture would be of a great importance, and he was a painter himself. After being rejected from the academy of fine arts in Vienna, he was told his abilities would be best at use in architecture. Nazis didn’t censor artists unless they were against the party, which has nothing to do with them being artists but with them being politicized. Nazis wanted to purge the gene pool by killing gays, jews, blacks, etc, all things based on birth.
Maybe you’re thinking fascists. Fascists fit your description a lot better.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:39 am
i am really looking forward to a LB movie, hope its as uberawesome as the comic.
oh and fyi mims/shayna
nazi is more of a radical form of fascism. fascism is for the people by the people. similar to what the romans had.
nazism is more of a defined dicatorship where you break the laws you “disappear”.
hell shayna could call someone a stalinist/communist and mean the same thing. So all in all, what does it matter what people call you… unless your one of those people who think this is “online bullying” (aka BS)
April 10th, 2008 at 6:51 am
Thank you Cody.
MIMS–Nazi, facist, communist, etc. Clearly, I don’t give a rat’s ass about proper terminology.
However, you are proving to be all of those things by try to censor my right to insult at will.
I swear, you are so boring that I got half-way through your predictable entry and started hearing “blah blah blah” in my head.
VICTIM?
No. MY NICKNAME, started by my dad actually, was ‘LITTLE NAZI’. My friends heard it and it stuck. In H.S. I found out that my first name was jewish and we all got a good laugh out of that oxymoron.
I did get some shit, but it was from uptight, over-sensitve anals like yourself.
BTW–I know my history about WWI & WWII. This forum is called LAST BLOOD, not MIMS A KNOW-IT-ALL SMARTASS 101.
April 10th, 2008 at 6:54 am
oh and ……GO FLAMES!!!
Yes, I am smooching your butt a little, but something funny popped into my head:
Vampire….Zombie….HOCKEY PLAYERS!!!
LMAO!
Sounds like a John Carpenter film, but it would have to be:
Vampire….Rock’n Roll….Zombie….Hockey Players….from MARS!!!
April 10th, 2008 at 7:25 am
Oh……god the hunger pains…..it’s been a month…….life…..flashing……..rage taunting me with the number 9 and then beating me with it………..guh
April 10th, 2008 at 8:28 am
JT exhibited the proper, and entertaining, way to complain.
APPLAUSE FOR JT COOL!
April 10th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
*sigh* I wasn’t censoring you, Shayna, I was correcting you. Censoring your right to insult me would have involved making sure you couldn’t do it anymore. There’s a WHOLE WORLD of difference between pointing out I don’t like the way you talk and kidnapping you to bring you to the ministry of love. I loved that book^^.
You’re just being annoying. And very insulting. You really remind me of the way people around me acted when we were 12. Are you getting any satisfaction in being such a bitch to everyone?
And Cody, I don’t think this is bullying, it just annoys me. Shayna is just being an immature little brat and acting like a 12 years old. I mean, she’s basically saying that you can’t express a negative point of view against her, while she expresses her own against everyone! And yes, nazism is a form of fascism, I know that, but they weren’t censoring ARTISTS, they were censoring people who were against the party, wheter or not they were artists. And even though nazism is a form of fascism, it’s not the exact same thing.
April 10th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
By the way, basics human rights give you the right to express yourself, but they also give everyone around the right not to be insulted for no reason at all.
April 10th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
MIMs I think your insulting the intelligence of a 12 year old by comparing me to them.
I am much, MUCH more immature than that. And to prove it…..
(sticks out tongue) ppfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!
BTW I will give to you the one thing you are correct on. You do have every right to criticize me as any pious, stuck-up, conceited, judgemental git feels it necessary to do.
Unfortunately, you are a little slow on the mental draw and it took you several posts to figure this out, SO DON’T EXPECT YOUR LONG-WINDED BLATHERING TO GET ANY RESULTS ON THIS END.
Sincerely, from the bottom of my Heart!
BITE ME!
April 10th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I don’t give a shit about results, I’m not trying to get anywhere with this. If I wanted to change your way of thinking I’d do something far more radical than just post comments here.
Wait… pious? I’M PIOUS? That’s the best thing I’ve heard all year. PIOUS! Jesus Christ, the only times I use the name of the Lord is to swear and I think christinaism is the biggest hoax in the whole history of conspiracies. JUDGMENTAL! Calling people judgmental without knowing them is pretty paradoxal if you ask me…
Besides, that’s the way it works on the internet, you’re supposed to take it slow, because any assumption you make can prove itself to be wrong. That’s why I didn’t call you something like a wannabe intelectual, a stupid 12 years old prick, an uncultured little brat who thinks of herself as smart because she knows how to write or a wannabe anarchist.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
HERE YOU GO AGAIN! BLAH BLAH BLAH DICTATE BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Actually I’m just an atheist who is entertaining herself. BTW–THAT is ANTI-CHRIST not ANARCHIST. Ohhh! I could be both, like the Sex Pistols.
and stop insulting 12 year olds!
I’m a solid 8 year old with good language skills.
LMAO!
April 10th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Notice the “didn’t” part? Meaning I’m NOT calling you these?
Discussions (or fights, you choose) with you are funny. Whenever we’re right you just go “BLAH BLAH BLAH DON’T CARE”.
April 10th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Was I supposed to care? I think I only agreed with you once.
Caring is not a requirement, however, believing you are right when its only your own delusion patting yourself on the back, is kinda cracked.
Frankly, I’m worried about you now. We’ve been conversing for over a day now and you are still maintaining there is a right or wrong.
LET ME HELP YOU: no matter how much you drone on or think you are ‘right’. It’s not gonna stop me from using derrogatory words like “NAZI”.
Now get a good night’s rest and if that doesn’t set you to rights…
PLEASE SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!
April 10th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Kids, kids….stop fighting. Actually, that’s probably the wrong terminology:
People-who-are-older-than-me….stop fighting. It’s funny to read, but to quote an already well-quoted internet piece:
“Arguing over the internet is like winning the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded”.
Now, I’ll admit, I find it as interesting as the next person (or more, or less….ect.) But there’s no need to degenerate to petty insults, whether outright or not-so-subtly hidden. Let’s be reasonable: if you wish to argue, do it intelligently.
Aww, hell. I almost feel like not posting this. I want to see where your conversation goes. Eh, screw it. If you’re (and you are) reading this, it means that I did it anyway.
April 10th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
“Arguing over the internet is like winning the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded”
As I’ve said many times on this site, I detest that retarded quote, which makes no sense on any level. Next person to say it will be banned. Nifty’s post was more annoying than anything anyone else said on the page, but Shayna and Mims have been fairly annoying as well. I’ve only skimmed their posts, though.
EDIT: You didn’t even get the quote right, like most people who say it — because anyone who says it is so damn stupid that they can’t even get it right. It’s like WINNING the Special Olympics? Jeez. Anyway, banned for calling people retarded while being 20 times more retarded than anyone else has been.
April 11th, 2008 at 1:12 am
Erm, I just made a bad mistake. I commented on the page before this one, thinking I was on this one. -.-
Anyways, these internet fights really are pointless. You’ll never get the other person to see how wrong they are, so why bother? Let them live in their own world where everything is the way they want it.
“Anyway, banned for calling people retarded while being 20 times more retarded than anyone else has been.”
And that’s why I love Bobby.
April 11th, 2008 at 3:03 am
San Jose took game two thanks to Nabokov being the second best goalie in the league (after Kipper), next game is a Calgary home on Sunday. Do it boys!!!
April 11th, 2008 at 5:14 am
Well we know Owen is not worried about petty squabbles.
You guys are right. I fell into it because Mims just kept falling for my ‘egging-on’ routine. I promise to stop like the good little girl I could have been if only I didn’t like playing with fire.
FIRE FIRE EEHEHEHE FIRE!
April 11th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Of course they’re pointless. Do you honestly think I was hoping to get anywhere? I was bored, saw the comments, and decided there was a good way for me to be less obred for a few minutes.
April 11th, 2008 at 10:43 am
id now like a new comic… A COMIC!! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY WHAT IS COMING TOWARDS THEM!! i know its rage… but i want to know more… like has he become a body of light that tears zombies in half? or has he just become a really fast rage with huge tallons for hands, or does he just blow up… only a NEW COMIC will tell.
April 11th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
You are right, I haven’t seen Anko for quite a while. I wonder if she got mugged for her Last Blood pants.
April 11th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I want to be in the movie!!! I would be so awesome.
April 11th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Go San Jose!!
(Just had t say it, cause that’s my team!)
Congrats on the deal. I know this movie will blow every other zombie/vampie movie out of the water because of the great spin on it.
Can’t wait for the next page… What will Rage do?!?!
April 11th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Accidentally deleted a comment from Micah. This was it:

1. Echo Says:
April 8th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Uhm no comic for a month and all you have to post is an article?
uh yah . . . wooooo
I . . . am . . . excited . . .
Way to go guys, how about next month you post some Pepsi adverts or some bikini pictures?
You sir are an Asshat.
Shanya: As always the arguments you get in are almost as entertaining as they are pointless. I just had to comment on something you said though: “BTW–THAT is ANTI-CHRIST not ANARCHIST. Ohhh! I could be both, like the Sex Pistols.” Um, I’m pretty sure he did mean anarchist, not sure if you were trying for sarcasm or just drastically confused.
——————
April 11th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
I was just having retared fun actually.
April 11th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
IMO, becoming a movie is huge incentive for more comic updates. Can I read some fresh new Last Blood, please?
April 12th, 2008 at 1:44 am
*Gasp!* Who’s this other Jessica person stealing my name? I agree, being part of the making of this movie would be fab, though personally, I’d rather direct or edit than act.
Owen, I had no idea you’re a Calgarian. So are two of my roommates. I don’t generally care about hockey, but I’ll cheer for the flames for their sake and yours.
Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but I skimmed the comments really quickly and mostly just saw Shayna and Mims’ amusing bickering… Is there any kind of timeline yet on this movie, any anticipated release date?
I know I’m usually just a silent lurker, but I’ve been reading this comic since back when page 15 or so was first posted, so I can’t help but feel a little excitement as though I’m involved in the beginning of something somehow. In any case, it’s really neat to watch this in progress, as it’s being born in its various forms. Amazing work guys; thanks for the experience!
April 12th, 2008 at 6:59 am
DISREGARD ALL THOSE STATEMENT, I INDEED AM AN ASS.
April 12th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Im with you owen,
Flames all the way
April 12th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Congratulations on the movie being ultimately put through now Bobby and Owen!
I’ll be at the movies watching it when it comes out.
April 12th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Wow. Someone went to the trouble of using my name to call myself and ass!
THAT’S SO COOL!
Look Jessica! You inspired people to toilet humor!
LMAO!
April 12th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
BETTER YET!!
NOT ONLY IS IT TRUE, BUT I HAVE INSPIRED PEOPLE TO UNDERHANDED SNIPING!!!
I AM SO COOL!!!
April 13th, 2008 at 4:42 am
Hey dumbass, if you’re going to impersonate someone the least you could do is try to write like them. Fucking idiot. I mean, the all caps thing is annoying no matter who does it, but Shayna doesn’t even do that, so it just makes you look more retarded than you already obviously are. I mean seriously, anonymously impersonating another anonymous poster. Is your life really that pathetic? Are you really that fucking bored?
April 13th, 2008 at 5:57 am
stop typing in CAPS asswipe
April 13th, 2008 at 6:46 am
Oh god, you people are so cool. YAYS! I am legion!
Though I must admit you guys have good points. BUT WHO CARES I’M IMMATURE AND HAVE A CLOSED MIND FULL OF NAZIS AND I’M PROUD OF IT.
Now stop using my name, it depersonifies me.
April 13th, 2008 at 7:16 am
Holy shit I posted four times in a row, I must have a multiple personality disorder.
April 13th, 2008 at 7:32 am
I have multiplepersonality disorder, please hate me.
April 13th, 2008 at 7:34 am
WOW SIX TIMES!!!
April 13th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
This feels like pre-anonymous 4chan…
April 13th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I’m smart so I changed my name. Or did I?
April 13th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
LMAO!!!!
April 13th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Owen, be happy that Coach Ron Wilson is on Calgary’s side in this series.
What a terrible coach. Way to turtle your team like last year. The fool didn’t learn his lesson, and he’s going to make Mike Keenan look like a good coach.
And Mike Keenan is not a good coach.
Flames players should be glad they’re facing the Sharks and not the Ducks. If they’d pulled the kind of stunts they did tonight against them, Iggy or Langs would have been KOed. Luckily, only a few Sharks ever emotionally respond when their own are cheap-shotted, and one of those was benched tonight.
Seriously. Go Calgary. San Jose’s been a circus ever since Ron Wilson came in. The sooner they’re out of the playoffs, the better the chance San Jose wins the cup anytime soon.
April 14th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Shayna sweet, it’s called dissociative identity disorder. (Not so much a PC thing as a technicality thing, since there’s kind of a debate about the whole concept of personality right now.)
And I didn’t mean to inspire people to steal names, and I _definitely_ didn’t mean to inspire toilet humour! I just noticed there was another Jessica here and made a lame joke… Woops.
April 14th, 2008 at 7:39 am
I saw a advert on Comingsoon.net about this comic being made into a movie, so I checked it out. I became hooked on it after about 5 pages. I’m an addict now thanks to you guys. I need my fix of comic heroine. When shall we expect the next installment? Please.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:19 am
I miss the gold old days when I would Shayna would insult me, I would insult Shayna, and I would prove my intellectual superiority (not to mention sheer awesomeness) in comparison to her. Now with other people impersonating her to insult her, Shayna calling different people nazis (which is of course a subdivision of the corrolary of Godwin’s Law) and her general sanity apparently deteriorating (lack of Last Blood I guess), it’s no longer a challenge to me.
True I could try the old mysoginist approach to see who bites again but meh… not worth the trouble.
ps – deejay, internet fights aren’t pointless. They serve the point of providing me with amusement while I’m toiling away at a boring job 12 hours a day.
April 14th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
I wish they would post again…..this story kicks ass
April 14th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Weird. I find this site the first week of April, get all caught up, and that’s when the updates stop.
Can’t help but feel I’m somehow responsible for that, but darned if I know how.
April 14th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I have to say that I have been patient. But even the most loyal fan in the world can get tired of waiting.
TELL US SOMETHING! Even if it means that you aren’t going to put anymore comics up and discontinuing the series. A little news would be nice.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
heh, well.
looks like my little bit helped make the fire bigger. good.
what we all want is a comic, what we all need is another temporary form of entertainment (and I am not refering you shanya’s repetative arguements)
April 14th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
scldragonfish is obviously banned for disregarding all comments from me and Owen on this page and instead saying pure nonsense about a possibility of the series discontinuing.
April 14th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Awww, other Jessica, you can be Jessica1 if you want to. Or TheJessica or JessicaSupreme. I feel bad now that you’re calling yourself “Jessica2?”
And I agree, can’t wait for the next update. I kinda wonder what April’s been up to. I’d probably be having a nervous breakdown, foaming at the mouth and rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere now that the crisis is over.
April 15th, 2008 at 1:37 am
“But even the most loyal fan in the world can get tired of waiting.”
Lies. You’re obviously not the most loyal fan of anything.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Welcome back Anko, it’s been awhile.
People, if you are so bored, go back through and comment “This is the best page so far” on every page.
O wait, I already did that.
April 15th, 2008 at 7:13 am
I know he is a fictional character, but Addison Payne was hot!
April 15th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
I’ve started the page but I’ve been under the weather for the past couple days. Really tired for some reason, it’ll be this week for sure though, and hopefully regularly after that. Thanks.
April 15th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
oh thank god, finally no more waiting
April 15th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Yay!
You should have put a vote button on this page, though– seeing Last Blood @ number 79 on the TWC list today broke my heart.
Looking foreward to a new page… and to the movie.
!! 2 years + and counting !! ([sarcasm] And that’s not depressing in the least! [/sarcasm])
April 15th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Sure, Oceaneyes… AP was hot.
But Math is hotter.
Sorry. Fangirl moment of the day… I’m in therapy, really. Really. BELIEVE ME!!
April 16th, 2008 at 4:50 am
It’s a great comic and I’m happy to here about the movie deal, but if you are going to update monthly, you really should take the “Updated MWF” off the page.
April 16th, 2008 at 5:59 am
” “But even the most loyal fan in the world can get tired of waiting.”
Lies. You’re obviously not the most loyal fan of anything.”
this is true, I still check everymorning before i go to work (actually im late for work) and I read through the comments to see whose argueing with whom, and so on so forth, not the most loyal fan, but a fan non the less
April 16th, 2008 at 6:35 am
Math is definetly the sexiest fictional character. They really hit the nail on the head there with his ‘Byronic’ looks and tormented existence.
But I had to give Addison some credit too.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Take care of your health. As much as we want a new page now, we will want the next one even more. Get better, then draw us up an amazing page.
Just please get better soon! Those hunger pains are killing us!
April 16th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Well, Crosby and Owen. I just have to say “wow”. I have been reading since the beginning and have loved it ever since. I havent posted well because, how many guesses about what will happen next or “oooh i like/do not like” this page comments do ya need?(though i have liked them all). I wanted to bring attention to a very good writer. F Paul Wilson. Whether or not you are aware of him I do not know. But he brung back the good ol’ vampires. The non sympathetic and merciless ones. The ones people had nightmares about. I am just bringing this up because the storyline to his book “Midnight Mass” is similar to yours. Instead of zombies the vampires take over the world starting in the east and come to america. Anyway though, its a good read and I wanted to bring it to you attention. Try someday.
Also keep up the good work. I love both this and Marry Me.
PS:Make sure hollywood doesn’t F up your story.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
oh the waiting, she hurts
April 16th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
“It’s a great comic and I’m happy to here about the movie deal, but if you are going to update monthly, you really should take the “Updated MWF” off the page.”
If you’re going to post on the comments, you really shouldn’t whine about the update schedule.
April 16th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
no problem, just didn’t want confusion on the names. I am sorry you are under the weather! I shall wait patiently like and quit my bitching! lol
April 17th, 2008 at 5:29 am
in response to Big dave,
I asked the same question a few weeks back, I believe it was booby who responded saying that update schedual was for the first graphic novel,
the second (and current) novel has no real update schedual.
or as someone else said MWF is not mon wed fri but “MONTHLY WITH FLOWERS”
April 17th, 2008 at 5:29 am
son of a whore, Bobby i ment, not booby.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:35 am
“that update schedual was for the first graphic novel”
No, that wasn’t the response. The response is that it hasn’t been MWF for almost a year now and the sign isn’t changed because it’s 100% pointless and because I’m not gonna do what asshole whiners want. And I was the one who said the monthly with flowers thing.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:14 am
S.C. Says: “Weird. I find this site the first week of April, get all caught up, and that’s when the updates stop.

That’s because you -are- responsible for it. You don’t have your special pass to read this comic and when they found out, they stopped it. Thanks a lot for messing everything up. Hmph.
April 17th, 2008 at 11:33 am
same here
April 17th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Good for you
I’ll definitely go see the movie when (if) it gets released. Can’t go wrong with zombies XD
April 17th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
well i’ve never posted, but i can’t help but say something if owen’s a flames fan too.
too bad about game four, here’s hoping for game five.
April 18th, 2008 at 5:36 am
eh, sorry vout that Bobby, memory isn’t the best in the mornings.
my only hope was in the sens for the playoffs, now i guess its moved over to calgary
April 18th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Wow, congratulations on the movie deal guys! I can tell you, I will be first in line when it comes out.
And I say BOO to Calgary for kicking the Canucks’ asses, even though we had it coming a mile away. Vanouver just hasn’t been the same since the lockout.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Jon Pander, you’re funny.
April 19th, 2008 at 5:48 am
Jon Pander: Thanks for letting me know. But you were kind of rude so I’m posting again just to screw it up further. Ha-ha!
That’s a triumphant ha-ha, by the way, like “so there” with an emphasis on the second ha, as in ha-HA!
Which I suppose I could have just written in the first place, come to think about it.
April 19th, 2008 at 9:22 am
hey, guys, just celebrate the movie and the fact we’ll eventually be at the confy chairs with popcorn watching Bobby’s work rendered into the movies.
How long we’ve spent other times without a comic, huh? I think we can survive this withdrawal.
Take good care of yourself, Owen.
April 19th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Hey CONGRATULAITIONS FROM GERMANY!!!
I hoper there will be some newe pages sooN!!!
April 20th, 2008 at 11:35 am
I hope the movie doesn’t ruin the series… Movies have a habbit of ruining a good thing… Like the ending to ‘The Mist’ and both the ‘Fantastic four’s…. I’m sure there are more. But yeah. Looking forward to the movie. Now only to wait for updates…
April 20th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Vicky: Not sure what movie theatres you’ve been going to…. comfy chairs?
S.C.: I got the ha-ha the first time. Like Phil from Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law. Gotcha. Kudos for that.
Micah: Yes Micah. Yes I am. And I’m sexhay too. You can’t prove I’m not. HA-HA! (how’s that, S.C.?)
Personally I don’t mind the lack of updates. I read several of bobby’s comics and Marry Me has had 4 updates in a week …. so it’s all good in the grand scheme of things to me.

There have been some that started the series too. Look at buffy the vampire slayer, it was a movie before a series, and the series lasted what, 6 years? I can’t remember exactly how long. Gotta always hope for the best, and i think this GN will make it big.
April 21st, 2008 at 9:15 am
I’m really glad a quailty story line like this is going to make it to the big screen.
But can you please post some more of the comic, it’s been almost most a month and the suspence is killing me. And not in that good way!!!
April 21st, 2008 at 9:43 am
Stargate was a movie before it came out
And it already has a spin off that priomises to last just as long!
But, I agree, movies do tend to get lost in translation with a previously published piece of work.
April 21st, 2008 at 5:32 pm
What is going on here? There hasn’t been a new page in weeks?
April 21st, 2008 at 5:58 pm

Remember when there used to be a web comic here?
April 21st, 2008 at 11:53 pm
I hate web comics.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 am
in a hate-to-love manner?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:45 am
Nah, just hate hate hate.
April 22nd, 2008 at 6:27 am
I think I love Jade because she is reiterating exactly how I felt about ‘The Mist’ and the F4 sequel.
April 22nd, 2008 at 7:38 am
Art update; Page about 1/3 finished but I’m epically behind on everything in my life! I hope to make some strides today though.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:39 am
Take your time. If your life is a mess, than you don’t have time to draw.
Could we maybe get an old sketch posted, or perhaps a transcript of either the movie, you just you two’s conversations? That should easy these hunger pains.
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:21 am
Yeah, but the movie STARTED the series. That’s different. Usually a movie that takes after something ruins it. The first Harry potter wasn’t bad but have you seen the lastest ones? Uuuhhg!… Just look at Daredevil Elektra, I’m fairly sure Batman is one of the only movies that actually did good after a comic series. Same for video games. Movies like to ruin them as well.
April 22nd, 2008 at 11:34 am
Comic movies either revive the audience or kill it deader than a coffin nail.
Example: SPAWN
No. 1 Spawn comic went for $75 to $100 before the movie was released. Nowadays it doesn’t sell for $3 in auction.
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Jade, I have to throw Spiderman out there with Batman. Those movies certainly did well. Which is not to discount your previous comments, only add to them.
April 22nd, 2008 at 2:22 pm
“The first Harry potter wasn’t bad”
LOL. The first is the worst of them all and they’re all disgustingly horrible. Worst adaptations of all time.
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
dude… post another page… it’s been what two months??
Get to work!!
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:08 am
“Worst adaptations of all time.”
Oh no. That prize goes to the film they made out of Lemony Snicket’s “A Series Of Unfortunate Events”, or perhaps the film adaption of “Eragon.”
In the second case I simply turned the television off after ten minutes and just LEFT.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:15 am
“Eragon” is a horrible, unreadable book, so it’s impossible to adapt it poorly — anything would be a step up. The Snicket books are really good and the movie could have been a ton better, but was still watchable. The Harry Potter books are the best books of all time and every few seconds for every film you have to cringe in horror at the disgusting shit that they somehow put up on the screen.
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:09 am
Whatever they’ve done to comic books pales in comparison to the travesty that is the “Videogame to Movie Adaptation”.
I mean, just check out anything by Uwe Bolle…
Although the mess they made of “A Wizard of Earthsea” just reeks of Hollywood dumbing down – even to the point of reversing Ged’s Truename (Ged) with his usename (Sparrowhawk) because “Ged” just doesn’t cut it as a name of power I guess.
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:27 am
Lemony Snicket was visually beautiful, but smooshing a series into one movie with an overactor (cough Carey) can really put the kibosh on it.
Eragon…..(opens mouth and inserts finger)….Utter crap. The CGI alone was so expensively shitty that it guaranteed failure.
As much as I loved the Potter films, Rowling’s success has created a veritable ‘Shitstorm’. Any author, who makes over 1 million in book sales, is optioned for a movie now.
How in the hell are we supposed to promote literacy when the Hollywood Machine keeps slapping them on the screen before our kids are old enough to get a library card? There is no room for imagination anymore because of this exploitation.
And don’t get me started on book-to-movie script adaptation editing; I will set my keyboard on fire with my wrath!
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:33 am
“As much as I loved the Potter films”
Um, what? The FILMS? Pretty much a bannable offense to say you like the Harry Potter movies. Also, what you said about that “shitstorm” is just stupid nonsense.
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:59 am
Oh come on! I like movies, sue me!
I made it a point NOT to read the Potter books so I wouldn’t be dissapointed about how badly the movies f***ed up the books.
And you know I am right about the “shitstorm”.
A good example is when Shrek became a success. Before then, 3-D animation was being played with, but not seriously used for mainstream cartoon production.
When Shrek grossed $1 billion, the next 4 years spit out any piece of trash children’s film they could in 3-D format.
Let’s be realistic here Bob.
Stephanie Meyer just finished the ‘Twilight’ trilogy and already they are casting the first movie. Less than six months later, P.C. Cast tried to cash in by beginning her own trilogy with her daughter’s name slapped on so it would seem as a ‘young’ person wrote it.
It’s disheartening, to say the least.
April 23rd, 2008 at 8:24 am
“And you know I am right about the ’shitstorm’.”
Uh, you said “Any author, who makes over 1 million in book sales, is optioned for a movie now” as if that started because of Rowling. That’s been the case for forever basically. You also very strangely/stupidly made it sound like that’s a bad thing. The Harry Potter movies have only caused more people to read the books, of course, not less, and yet you “made it a point NOT to read the Potter books so I wouldn’t be dissapointed about how badly the movies f***ed up the books,” which is the exact opposite of what you should have done and what you’re whining about. You’re saying turning books into movies makes it so people don’t read, which overall is nonsense, but you’re one of the cases it applies to, because you choose to simply watch the movies and not even read the books. If you care so much about literacy, why the hell didn’t you just read the books and not watch the movies?
Anyway, you’ll probably be banned after your next post, but just in case you’re not, new rule for you: One comment per page, and you only get one more for this page.

Interesting anecdote about Harry Potter (Love the books – love them love them love them – won’t get into the movie debate la la la *fingers in the ears* I can’t HEEEAAARRR YOU!! ’cause I don’t want to argue about stuff) – I was at work one night and a couple of us were talking with anticipation about the last Harry Potter book, and about the lines waiting to get the book at midnight, when one of my co-workers announced that she refused to read the books OR see the movies because they were full of Wicca (how she knows this withOUT seeing the movies OR reading the books I don’t know, but I guess that is beside the point). When I asked her in what way she felt they were full of Wicca, she REFUSED TO ANSWER, saying that if she did, she would have to TALK ABOUT Wicca, which she didn’t want to do! *rolls eyes* I mean – hello?? If you are going to have an opinion like that, be ready and willing to back it up with someone a bit more substantial than “I think, but I’m not going to tell you why because then I’d have to talk about this stuff I don’t like …”
Wicca in Harry Potter. Sheesh. *shakes head* Anyhoo … Just thought I’d drop by – I do every couple days to see if there’s a new page up. Hope all is well with you – I guess you’re OK, Bobby, as I see “Marry Me” is still going strong – so Owen is the one I’m worried about. Everything OK Owen?? Take good care of yourself, now; we want to see how this all goes here and if you don’t take care of yourself so you can draw it, we won’t know!
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
I didn’t read the Harry Potter books. I’ve seen every single movie.
Later on, I’ll buy the entire series of books and movies. For now, the movies suffice. They take less time to watch than the book takes to read. I don’t see what the problem is with enjoying a movie adaption. I know that the books contain more content than the movies. Much much more. That doesn’t mean I feel the need to read the book ASAP.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:57 am
RIP Calgary Flames. Maybe now I can get back on schedule though.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
I’m trying to figure out just where the comments changed from talking about the comic to this Harry Potter stuff. Funny thing is I’ve never read the books or seen the movies. Not my thing. Never saw Lemony Snicket or even knew it was based on a book, though coincidentially, I have the movie from Netflix and it’s been sitting on my desk for the last 4 days,
heh, if the movie does well Bobby should probably see about a video game based on his movie. Apparently both the Lemony snicket and Rowling movies did that too. Actually pretty much any movie seems to do that nowadays.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
I read the first Harry potter book, but never read the rest, they just were not my kind of fantasy book (the writting didnt strike me outright). watched the movies out of boredom then watched the 3rd because the actress for hermoine was turning out to be fairly pretty so i thought wtf I’ll watch it.
anyways. cat wait for the next page post it when you can, or what not. we’ll all read it and sing it praise cause god knows we are all losers
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Congratulations!!!!
Idle curiosity though, when are you going to post the next page? I come to this site almost everyday hoping for an update.
April 24th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Will Lastblood become a Schaemiac in 17 days ?
April 24th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Huh. I feel out of place here as I never liked the Harry Potter series. I pretty much lumped it in with Anne Rice and started reading the Necroscope series.
Necroscope series is pretty similair to last blood in a few ways. Guy controls zombies,vampires(Though these are entirely different then what we know),and major governments of the world holding ESPionage branches.
Harry Keogh will always be better then Harry Potter in my opinion.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:49 am
I expect it’s gonna be a while before they get around to updating the comic again. Getting a movie deal is probably pretty time consuming.
That’s ok. I can wait. I can wait even longer if the movie film for theaters comes out before the next page.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
New rule: Anyone who admits to not liking the Harry Potter books will be banned. If you somehow don’t like them, keep it to yourself. Don’t want such insane stupidity uglifying the site.

Yeah You know what– comments like that are just… pointless. ((There’ve been too many on this page alone, not to mention the rest of the second GN)) Stop bitching. It’s not going to make it come any faster.

Good rule. Should be a national law.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Good news gang!! New page was sent off, could be up by tonight!! Bad news- I forgot how to draw and color this comic.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Id just like to say, ive been reading the entire thing for a few days and I LOVE IT! I can’t wait till this thing becomes a film
April 24th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
the harry potter books were good, but i personally got tired of the story somehow after the fourth and halfway through the fifth. theres better books to read….in fact i think i started reading something else at that point.
on that note, i think the movie of a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy was quite pleasurable to watch, not AS awesome as the books, but still a good adaptation in my mind.
April 24th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Just in case something happens, and it doesn’t get posted tonight… what if you drew like a intro to the new GN part, or a catch up panel… just a thought.
April 24th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I just want to throw it out. I am responsible for Harry Potter in America. I went to England on a vacation, and got food poisoning on the plane. I was sick all week, so my parents got me a book with a wizard on it that looked like me. I loved the first one, brought it home, and gave it to a friend to read. We spread it around home, and a few months later, the craze started. I’m SO SORRY!
It’s not that I dislike the books, I just hate the craze. I to felt like I outgrew Harry Potter, and I also think Necroscope is a sweet series. And about Wicca, anyone who has that kind of hate for no reason should be shot. They aren’t helping this world.
Owen, glad to hear everything is better, and I certainly hope that you can remember how to work your own artistic magic!
