We recently broke the news that director Breck Eisner is working to bring comic book creator Mark Wheatley's Blood of the Innocent to the big screen. Now we've got word of what could be Wheatley's next project, a project that could involve you.  

Wheatley, along with writer M.J. Butler, is developing Skultar, a comic-book send-up of bloody barbarian epics like Conan the Barbarian. And to fund his new project, Wheatley is offering to have -- in the pages of the book -- his hero kill off comic fans who pledge their suppport. (You'll even get an official "Death Certificate" confirming the kill.) For more, check out the official Skultar website, where you can read a free preview of the book. You can also check out a breakdown of other cool prizes you could earn when pledge your support. Go on -- give your skull to Skultar!
