Rocket Worm!

Ghostopolis Toast

It’s been a busy month for Doug TenNapel related things. Ghostopolis has been out for over a month now, and is being made into a film by Disney with Hugh Jackman. Groovy stuff.
Here’s a good Ghostopolis interview with Doug TenNapel on that by Newsarama.

Doug also did a guest episode with his daughter for the popular online comic Axecop – Axecop teams up with Mr. Toast!

I have been planning a new layout for Rocket Worm…slowly…which has been getting pushed lower and lower down my list of things to do. This is going to be a busy month for me, so I don’t know when I’ll have time to pick back up on that to be honest.

David Perry Considers Sequel

I don’t know if this falls under news or speculation…but Doug TenNapel has told me that he has remained friends with the other original members of the Earthworm Jim team too…there is definitely positive weight to this.

What I’m saying is they were willing to do it then, I think they would still be willing to do it at some point in the future (David Perry Interview)
Perry Considering Earthworm Jim Sequel.

It’s comforting to know. He of all people should know how to do it justice – and that’s partly by getting the original team back together. It would be awesome! Of course whether this comes to pass in the future remains to be seen.

Perry is currently working on Gaikai – a service that allows people to play games on any sort of application with an internet connection – a pretty amazing feat.

Ghostopolis

Ghostopolis will be released on July the 1st!
It is also available for pre-order on Amazon until that date.

This is Doug TenNapel’s tenth Graphic novel to be published. It’s in full colour and being published by Scholastic GRAPHIX.

Imagine Garth Hale’s surprise when he’s accidentally zapped to the spirit world by Frank Gallows, a washed-out ghost wrangler. Suddenly Garth finds he has powers the ghosts don’t have, and he’s stuck in a world run by the evil ruler of Ghostopolis, who would use Garth’s newfound abilities to rule the ghostly kingdom. When Garth meets Cecil, his grandfather’s ghost, the two search for a way to get Garth back home, and nearly lose hope until Frank Gallows shows up to fix his mistake.

Earthworm Jim HD Gallery

Earthworm Jim HD has been added to the Earthworm Jim Media Gallery.

Robert at Unearthed figured out that it has been a whole sixteen years since the release of the original Genesis version of Earthworm Jim back in 1994. Phew…that was quite some time ago!

Character Biographies

I am finally making some progress towards illustrating the Character Biography section of the site…

First in line is Peter Puppy.
It may take a while. I haven’t had much time to do these things over the last few years from my days of being a student, side projects, and work. I’ll see if I can squeeze these in though.

Earthworm Jim HD is coming out on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow – 9th of June.

Video games Live at Comic-Con

Well it’s June, and for a lot of people around the world that means looking forward to the annual San Diego Comic-Con International convention in July.

It’s great if you’re interested in anything from Comics, Illustration, Fantasy art, Films and Video Games. It’s a big show.
One of my favourite things about it are the costumes people wear to it!

Doug TenNapel will be there as usual, and this year Video Games Live will be there on Saturday, July 24th at the Civic Theatre.
