While Splash Page usually focuses its energy on the leap from comic book to cinema screen, we’re always down to report on the opposite translation — and today, a pair of film franchises are moving into the paneled universe.
Boom Studios has announced that it will publish a prequel to the Bruce Willis-starring “Die Hard” action franchise as a comic book series titled “Die Hard: Year One,” while simultaneously releasing a graphic novel version of “Jennifer’s Body,” the upcoming horror film starring Megan Fox and directed by Diablo Cody (”Juno”).

“Die Hard: Year One,” which hits comic book stores this August, focuses on a young John McClane over a decade before the events of the first “Die Hard” film. McClane will be depicted as a rookie cop that deals with a catastrophe during the 1976 Bicentennial celebration. The series is written by “American Flagg!” creator Howard Chaykin with art by Stephen Thompson.

The box office is set to go up, up and away this weekend with the release of “Up,” the tenth and most recent film from Pixar Animation Studios. “Up” focuses on Carl Fredricksen, an elderly balloon factory employee who steals a plethora of balloons and rigs them up to his house. As a result, his home goes sailing through the skies on a mile-high adventure around the globe.
To mark the occasion of Pixar’s film hitting theaters, Splash Page assembled our own list of the best aerial headquarters in comic book history. Enjoy!
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier: Maybe a sweet eye-patch would be enough to up your coolness factor, but that’s barely a scratch on the surface of Nick Fury’s tough guy act. After all, when you’re busy lording over a floating headquarters filled with highly-trained espionage agents, an eye-patch almost seems kitschy.

A live-action Wonder Woman movie has been in some stage of development for a long time now, ever since Joss Whedon was real close to making it a reality. Recent rumors have suggested that Warner Bros. is still interested in finding a way to bring the character to the big screen in order to eventually incorporate her into a Justice League film, but execs are taking their time with the property to make sure they get it right. At some point in the past year -- while the Wonder Woman news had been quite scarce -- someone decided to create a fan made Ww poster with Megan Fox decked out in the superhero's classic costume. This, of course, led to rumors that the high-in-demand actress might be suiting up for her first solo superhero flick, though nothing ever came of it and Fox moved from Transformers to Jonah Hex and Fathom.
