Emperor Zombie!?!

A few years ago, Mike Mignola, best known as the creator of the comic book series Hellboy, wrote and drew a hilarious one-shot comic called The Amazing Screw-On Head. It's a combination of Lovecraftian/Victorian horror, steampunk trappings, pulp, slapstick, and general Mignola-weirdness that must be seen to be believed. And now you can see it in full moving-picture, animatastic glory!

The SciFi channel has commissioned the pilot episode of an animated series based on the one-shot comic. It is located at http://www.scifi.com/amazingscrewonhead/. Not only is it complete and total genius, but it features Paul Giamatti as Screw-On Head. Everyone should go watch this, and then say good things about it in the online survey so that SciFi will commission additional episodes.

Huzzah!
