Victorian Undead Preview and Marvel Twilight Parody Video

[espanolbot]

Marvel arrive at the Twilight parody about two years after everybody else,

And as an awkward segway into the next part of the post...


Anyway, Victorian Undead.

Essentially it's a comic about a zombie uprising in 1850s London, with Sherlock Holmes going out to solve the mystery and fight the hoards of undead.

It's by the writer of the excellent 'Scarlet Traces', Ian Edginton, so it should be good. :)

Here's a page from the preview,

"Corr blimey, the dead be rising so they is! 'Ow will this effect me jellied eels!?!"

Still, stock Hammer Horror Londoners should be marginally less idiotic then the people in Return of the Living Dead, which I saw yesterday.

I think I like ItsJustSomeRandomGuys better. At least that isn't ripping off Robot Chicken as much.

Agreed, this just so stupid. IJSRG as some Shakespare kind of comedy and Drama.... did they show the action figure's reaction to Super Hero Squad?

a GOOD comic book action figure parody of this.

On the other hand, Marvel's production values beat the snot outta ItsJustSomeRandomGuys videos. FACIAL ANIMATION Z0MG!

(But his writing is still better.)

They should have just hired him to write the darn things.

Sherlock Homes vs the Undead? Sounds interesting.

1850's London?

Holmes' earliest estimated Birth year was 1854

Yeah, I know, right?

Makes a change from ones based in the 1880s/90s, I guess, which tend to be clogged with Jack the Ripper and Dracula crossovers.

Video made me giggle.

Sherlock Holmes vs zombies? SIGN ME RIGHT THE HELL UP.

[foxhack]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand Wolf Man saying "I love you" just creeped the FUCK outta me.

BTW, just where are the vampire slayers in Twilight, huh? Cause I'm sorta waiting for them to show up aaaaaaaaaaand....yeah, put us out of our misery.

I think vampires can only be killed by other vampires in Twilight, so slayers are out of luck, unless they're rogue vampire hunters themselves.

I wish I could find the URLs to that Twilight/Hellsing crossover fic I read few years ago and then lost the URLs to when I was forced to switch to Vista.
