Full Clip Productions’ Michael Schwarz talks “Damaged” and what’s next (Part 1 of 2)

If you’re not much of a graphic novel fan, when you think of comic books, you’re probably thinking superheroes and spandex. When it comes to production companies, chances are that movies and television shows come to mind. Full Clip Productions is going to change your perception of both.

Founded by brothers Michael and John Schwarz with their good friend Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator: Salvation), Full Clip is an up-and-coming production company that not only delves into movies and TV, but graphic novels as well. On August 17th, they’ll be releasing the first part of their six-issue series Damaged, the story of two brothers – one vigilante, the other a cop – with very different ideas of justice.… Read More

SDCC 2011: The Top 5 Survival Guide

It’s no secret that San Diego Comic-Con has been growing over the years, evolving into a center for all things pop culture. Of course, with the expansion of coverage comes the inevitable expansion of the target audience. In just the past three years, demand for passes has gone up exponentially, pushing the con to maximum capacity – enough so to prompt discussion about moving the convention to another location, such as Las Vegas (to which I say no, by the way).

To make a long story short, even for a sci-fi nerd with a strong distaste for most reality TV, the show is addicting as hell.

Now in its third week, The Voice has moved from the Blind Auditions into the Battle Round. Last night, we said goodbye to Tyler Robinson, Tarralyn Ramsey, Tim Mahoney, and Niki Dawson as each faced off against Patrick Thomas, Frenchie Davis, Casey Weston, and Vicci Martinez.… Read More
