With all the remakes these days, there are few properties that have not been dusted off and shined up for new audiences. In the wake of a new James Bond, a forthcoming Crow, a rebooted Star Trek, yet another Jack Ryan and three different Hulks, we are now promised a wrathful Toxic Avenger. What’s most interesting about this Troma classic character being revived is that it is associated with former Cimmerian, former governor and all-around fascinating Arnold Schwarzenegger.

We’ve been lax in telling you about the new stuff coming from Thrillbent, and with Tim Gibson bringing his stunning comic Moth City to Thrillbent starting today, we have our story hook.
Moth City is a compact manufacturing island given to an American tycoon, Governor McCaw, by the Chinese Nationalist government. In exchange, McCaw is to outfit the government’s vast army as it attempts to destroy the Communists and unite the world’s greatest nation. Now, after a brazen and brutal murder, McCaw must unravel the island’s secrets before everything he has built is wiped out by the warring factions. New issues will be posted on Thrillbent.com for free, every Tuesday. Here’s a video preview:
Tim spent three years illustrating worlds, characters and monsters for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, with film credits including Tintin, District 9 and Avatar to his name. Moth City is the project he’s been secretly working on along the way. Tim lives with his fiancée in Wellington, NZ.
Moth City will be joining Thrillbent’s other continuing series, including:
Arcanum, written by John Rogers with art and colors by Todd Harris:
Insufferable, written by Mark Waid with art by Peter Krause and colors by Nolan Woodard:
The Endling, written by Jonathan Larsen, illustrated by Cecilia Latella, and coloring by Paul Mounts and Jenn Manley Lee:
The Eighth Seal, written by James Tynion IV, illustrated by Jeremy Rock, and colored by Nolan Woodard
The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood, written by Christina Blanch and Chris Carr, artwork by Chee:
I won’t lie — I usually find it cute when my sons and my husband geek out over Superman or Batman. But there are times when the antics wear thin. Like when my 3-year-old refuses to wear his glasses because “Wolverine doesn’t wear glasses.” Or when he chases our cat around the house, fists flying, screaming, “BATMAN!”
Now the journal PLoS One has published a study to inspire hope in mothers like me: Scientists said Wednesday that experiencing a Superman-like power of flight, in a virtual reality simulation, made people more helpful. In real life!
