It begins with a seemingly happy family scene, complete with husband, wife, son, daughter, dog… but you soon sense the trepidation behind it. A glance at a photo shows someone is missing. Then you see the barbed wire. Will Bowman (Josh Holloway) is driving the only vehicle besides the authority. Everyone else is riding bikes. He gets inspected, but is let through.

Then it gets really weird. He gets in a freezer with someone, is covered in ice, then watches something on a monitor. It’s soon clear it blocks out infrared. Then… an explosion. At this point I’m very confused, and not a little excited. I miss not knowing what the hell is going on.

And that is how Colony begins. Spoilers below.

Fans of Oni Press’s comic The Sixth Gun got some good news today when it was announced that the comic would be getting made into a TV courtesy of LOST co-showrunner Carlton Cuse.

The show is being produced by Universal TV and Oni’s production company Closed on Monday Entertainment and will air on NBC (assuming the show is picked up). The Sixth Gun, written by Cullen Bunn with art by Brian Hurtt, follows the adventures of Becky Montcrief and Drake Sinclair as they travel the Wild West, searching for clues and trying to stop evil forces trying to harness the power of six pistols with supernatural powers.

With a title like Queen & Country, you might think that the newest British romantic comedy was on the way. You’d be wrong. The title is based on an Oni Press comic book, and is now officially being developed as a feature-length motion picture for Fox, with newcomer Ryan Condal working on the script.

Queen & Country is described as a “female Bourne Identity,” and it follows a woman named Tara Chace, who is a Special-Ops agent who’s being hunted down after she pulls off a big time assassination in Europe.

To go along with his work on a few novels, the book’s author, Greg Rucka, has done a bunch in the world of popular comic book characters. His resume includes issues of Wolverine, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Elektra for Marvel Comics, as well as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman for DC Comics.
