Pacific Rim and The Strain - Guillermo Del Toro
Genre renaissance man Guillermo del Toro talks to FEARnet's Joe McCabe about his upcoming giant monster movie Pacific Rim and the comic (and TV?) adaptation of his vampire novel The Strain. The first issue of the comic is on sale December 14, 2011.
When a Boeing 777 lands at JFK International Airport and goes dark on the runway, the Center for Disease Control, fearing a terrorist attack, calls in Dr. Ephraim Goodweather and his team of expert biological-threat first responders. Only an elderly pawnbroker from Spanish Harlem suspects a darker purpose behind the event—an ancient threat intent on covering mankind in darkness.
Adapting the first novel from Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain Trilogy, Dark Horse Comics' horrifying first chapter—told in eight issues—deals with an outbreak of diabolical proportions that puts a terrifying twist on the vampire genre. Adapted by writer David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Kull), with art by Mike Huddleston (MK Ultra).
