ShootAround

Oscar-winning studio Lion Forge Entertainment and WEBTOON Productions Inc. are teaming up to bring the zombie horror-comedy ShootAround to the big screen as a YA live-action film. Aiyana K.

In ShootAround, when the zombie apocalypse hits Penny Hall High, the state’s best girls’ basketball team must join forces with the boys they loathe to survive the most nightmarish scenario imaginable: 24 hours locked inside their high school with each other… and zombies. But mostly each other. Zombieland meets Bring it On in this life-or-death battle against a zombie outbreak and – perhaps more terrifyingly – teenagedom.

Lion Forge Entertainment founder and CEO David Steward II and President and Chief Creative Office Stephanie Sperber are producing and CJ Jones is developing the film for Lion Forge, which is also financing the script. President David Madden and Head of Global Film Jason Goldberg will executive produce for WEBTOON Productions. White is rewriting the script based on a previous draft by Mike Dow and Devon Kelly.

Pixie Hollow prequel Wings of Starlight debuts on WEBTOON

Posted on by

Fans of fantasy and romantasy have a new way to return to Pixie Hollow. Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft is now live on WEBTOON as a manga series, marking the first-ever visual adaptation of the bestselling prequel novel set in the world of Tinker Bell.

It’s been centuries since a warm-season fairy in Pixie Hollow has crossed into the Winter Woods, and while most fear the legends of monsters lurking in the frozen lands, Clarion, can’t help being intrigued by Winter’s stoic beauty. But under the watchful eyes of the current monarch and the court’s seasonal ministers, Clarion has little time to dwell on daydreams while the days to her coronation dwindle away. That is, until reports of a monster crossing from Winter into Spring make their way to the palace. But instead of finding a monster at the edge of Winter, she finds Milori, a young guardian of the Winter Woods. Together, they form an unlikely bond as they race to save their lands. But as their alliance warms to something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm-season fairy and a winter fairy must not be together. And the cost could be just as deadly as the monsters that prowl the Winter Woods.

Wings of Starlight was created by Saft with the Webtoon adaptation written by Stacy King and featuring art by Alice Borganit, assisted by Sara Cerutti, Claudia Cocci, Alessia Montagner, Rachta Lin, and Gianluca Grasso, and adapted by Arancia Studio.

The adaptation brings Saft’s emotional storytelling and richly imagined magic to life through lush artwork and WEBTOON’s immersive vertical scroll format — and readers can experience the full story digitally before the physical graphic novel arrives later this year.

The first three episodes are now available on WEBTOON.

Phantom 2040: A New Shadow Launches from Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, Only on Comics Kingdom

Posted on by

A legacy reborn, a new Phantom rises in the year 2040. King Features Syndicate has debuted Phantom 2040: A New Shadow, an all-new webcomic series that reimagines the iconic “Ghost Who Walks” for a new generation. In a fractured 2040 ravaged by climate collapse, aimless ex-soccer star Carlos Osorio takes up the mantle of The Phantom to stand up against an ambitious corporate villain— forcing him to become The Ghost Who Walks and fight to save humanity. 

Season one of Phantom 2040: A New Shadow includes 20 chapters, releasing in weekly installments in a vertical scroll format, as popularized on platforms like Webtoons, exclusively on Comics Kingdom. The series reunites powerhouse duo Alex Segura and Michael Moreci as co-writers, with art by John Amor and edited by King Features’ Alex Garcia. Phantom 2040 is based on the iconic character and first costumed hero, who was introduced in 1936 by Lee Falk in the classic comic strip, The Phantom.

In 2040, Earth’s climate has collapsed, nations have splintered, and York’s megacorp ZERO shelters the elite behind Bot‑guarded steel walls. During a hyped press event at Walker’s Table, The Phantom’s legendary refuge, billionaire Charles Tyrus displays The Phantom costume, declaring himself humanity’s savior, but instead, Carlos Osorio, a Mexican American ex-pro soccer phenom, steps into the role of The Phantom. Hunted by ZERO, guided by a battle-scarred Kit Walker II, and drawn toward the vast Ghost Jungle, Earth’s last living rainforest straddling the U.S.–Mexican border, Carlos must embrace the myth of The Ghost Who Walks to defend the planet’s final green spark and topple Tyrus’s ruthless techno‑empire. 

New chapters of Phantom 2040: A New Shadow will be released on Wednesdays at ComicsKingdom.com. Fans can read up to four chapters for free, with full access to Phantom 2040: A New Shadow available exclusively to Comics Kingdom subscribers.
