Comic Cover of the Week: Bill Sienkiewicz Rules Marvel’s SOLOMON KANE Limited Series?!
I never knew that this comic book series was ever a thing way back in 1985-but after seeing this of course incredible cover from master class artist Bill Sienkiewicz I’m ready to track down this limited series and give it a whirl! It’s covers like these that sell a series and Bill’s ALWAYS on top of his game. That being said all six covers for this series are actually pretty incredible, but I guess it’s what’s on the inside that counts though right? We’ll see.

That’s Solomon Kane NOT Van Helsing!
I am a total sucker for fantasy films. I simply do not believe enough good or even bad fantasy movies have been put out for our viewing pleasure! So naturally I am most pumped for The Hobbit, can’t WAIT for Clash of the Titans, excited about Conan even though I am not too thrilled at their choice of Jason Momoa and actually pretty darn keen on Solomon Kane! So until The Hobbit hits theaters I’m gonna have to take what I can get! So far it looks as if Solomon Kane is going to be a fun fantasy flick at the very least. I am pretty easy to please in the fantasy department, I mean I even enjoyed Van Helsing for cryin’ out loud! Does that totally destroy any cred I may have had?? I have to say though he does kinda look like Van Helsing huh?
Well Solomon Kane was created by none other than Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian) which obviously means gritty tales of high adventure and plenty of monsters. Continue reading
