Tokyopop announces the launch datte for Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix

Tokyopop has announced the launch on December 14th of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, an original new boys’ love manga inspired by the Netflix anime series featuring alter egos of characters from the hit Ubisoft video games.

The Netflix animated series follows Dolph Laserhawk, a rebel super-soldier who escaped the army and planning a final big heist with Alex Taylor before they sail into the sunset. The show was created by Adi Shankar (producer of Netflix’s Castlevania series) and is currently streaming.

Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is written by Ben Kahn with art by Bayou Kun. The 176 page manga will retail for $14.99. 

Dolph Laserhawk, the once powerful and illustrious super-soldier stationed under the oppressive Eden mega-corporation, stands at a crossroads between staying a mindless killing machine under Eden’s control and joining a band of rebel outcasts on a risky undercover mission. Before he can finally be free of the manipulative forces surrounding him, he must relive the best and worst moments of his life. Using Holloway’s VR technology, he walks through his memories of living as a penniless deserter, meeting and abandoning the love of his life, and coming to terms with the truth behind his passionate and tumultuous love affair with Alex Taylor – the ruggedly handsome criminal mastermind who once saved his life. 

Immerse yourself in the first-hand accounts of Captain Laserhawk’s tragic past through this introspective manga adaptation featuring all-new scenes that explore Dolph’s conflicting thoughts and motivations leading up to the most memorable moments in his life.

Superman ant-racist

Dillon D Jordan’s PaperChase Films and FANDOM have announced the launch of a serial podcast based on the original broadcasts of the iconic “Superman Radio Show”.

The podcast will be hosted and Executive Produced by Roth Cornet, Head of Development for FANDOM along with Max Dionne, supervising producer and Michael Chiang, senior vice president of programming. Comedian Ed Greer will co-host the podcast.

Executive producing will be Vikram Salgaocar. Superman vs the Ku Klux Klan is based on the book of the same name by Rick Bowers.

This true-to-life story follows Stetson Kennedy, a man who courageously went undercover to infiltrate the KKK in 1946. In a remarkable alliance, Mr. Kennedy, the Anti-Defamation League and the Producers of the Superman Radio Show, joined forces to expose the cultish insanity of the KKK, severely damaging their influence.

Adi Shankar Joins Superman vs. the Ku Klux Klan

Adi Shankar, the producer behind Netflix’s highly successful Castlevania (which has been renewed for a third season) is joining with PaperChase Films and Marc Rosen to bring the story of Superman vs the Ku Klux Klan to life.

Superman vs the Ku Klux Klan is based on the book of the same name by Rick Bowers. In a time of post-WWII Klan resurgence, the need for a hero had never been so great; the KKK was rapidly gaining influence, and law-enforcement turned a blind eye to their shocking acts of violence.

This true-to-life story follows Stetson Kennedy, a man who courageously went undercover to infiltrate the KKK in 1946. In a remarkable alliance, Mr. Kennedy, the Anti-Defamation League and the Producers of the Superman Radio Show, joined forces to expose the cultish insanity of the KKK, severely damaging their influence.

This empowered a heroic coalition of everyday citizens, artists and civil rights groups to effectively thwart the KKK’s agendas and strike a powerful blow against racism and hate in a time when all other options had failed.

The film is currently in development. Casting announcements and more news will be forthcoming.
