Coming off a highly successful 2016, Idw seemingly intends to make 2017 an even more prosperous year as the comic book publisher continues to expand into other media. Having previously made adaptations of 30 Days of Night and Wynonna Earp into mainstream hits, their next project will be somewhat of a reverse as their next commitment is that of The Devil.
No, they aren’t stepping on the toes of Fox’s Lucifer. Instead, they will be travelling back a few decades to craft a story based on the real life events of a notorious criminal. Idw themselves provided the following description:
The series is based on the novel The Devil: Britain’s Most Feared Underworld Taxman by Graham Johnson. Set in Liverpool in the 1980’s, The Devil showcases the life of Stephen French, one of the most feared men in the criminal underworld in the UK. He earned both his nickname and...

The disappearance of Misty Upham has come to a tragic close. After police in Auburn, Washington, found a body at the bottom of a 150-foot embankment near Forest Ridge Drive near the White River on Thursday, the actress's father, Charles Upham, confirmed her identity to the authorities, according to the Hollywood Reporter". Cause of death has yet to be determined. "We waited at the site where the team found the body," Seattle-based filmmaker Tracy Rector, a longtime friend of Upham's and a member of the search party, said late Thursday night. "It took about 5½ hours to confirm. Then we gathered...

Comic-Con International has released the schedule for Sunday July 27th. This is the last day of Comic-Con, and they will be closing it out with some big TV panels like Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy and The Strain. There's also a panel for the Batkid documentary that was made. I rarely stay for the whole convention on Sunday, but I think I actually might try to stick around this year and enjoy myself. You can go through the full schedule here, but you'll find some of the highlights listed below.
Supernatural Special Video Presentation and Q&A - Series stars Jared Padalecki (Friday the 13th [2009]), Jensen Ackles (My Bloody Valentine 3D), Misha Collins (Ringer), and Mark A. Sheppard (Battlestar Galactica), along with executive producer Jeremy Carver (U.S. version of Being Human), return to Hall H to answer questions from the audience about what's in store...

It’s an ancient debate that refuses to go away: Melbourne versus Sydney. Is the power in media and advertising drifting up north, asks Robin Hicks
The first story I wrote since moving from Sydney to Melbourne six months ago was on the closure of DraftFCB Melbourne, a decent but painfully shy ad agency with a 50-year history that, as it turned out, was too reliant on one major client.
A fortnight later, I covered Publicis Mojo’s Melbourne office making a bunch of redundancies. Some jobs were relocated to Sydney, leaving the once-great office on Southbank with eight staff, down from more than 100 just three years ago.
This news came just three months after the collapse of another ‘once-great’ agency brand The Campaign Palace, which started life on Melbourne’s Cecil Street more than four decades ago.

Got a bright idea for a film, a comic or even a hi-tech watch? For many, Kickstarter could be the answer – and now it's launched in Britain
Time was, in the olden days, that in order to create a video game, or fund a film or album, or make a comic, you needed a generous and deep-pocketed patron, or a corporation behind you which thought there was something – profit, in other words – in it for them. There might have even been a grant from an arts body somewhere. Remember them?
Crowdfunding, where large numbers of people donate small sums of money to a project, has changed that. Kickstarter is not the first online funding site for creative projects – ArtistShare was launched in 2003 to enable musicians to bypass record labels, and was followed by other sites such as IndieGogo – but it has gained the most traction and attention.

Two of M&C Saatchi Sydney’s most seasoned creatives, Oliver Devaris and Graham Johnson, are leaving after more than a decade with the agency.
The highly regarded creative directors – Devaris a copywriter, Johnson an art director by background – have produced award-winning campaigns for the likes of Miroslav, Herringbone and Médecins Sans Frontières.
The duo are leaving to start up their own agency, although details of the venture remain unclear. Mumbrella understands that the pair are yet to decide on a name for their new agency.
M&C Saatchi’s worldwide chairman Tom Dery told Mumbrella: “After 12 fantastic years at M&C Saatchi Graham and Ollie have decided to start up there own venture. Obviously their contribution to the agency has been immeasurable over such a long period – several generations in this industry.”
“Their work has been acknowledged by award juries worldwide and everyone who has ever worked with them has enjoyed the experience.

An ad promoting the use of Eftpos rather than the use of credit has won Mumbrella’s March Ad of the Month.
The ad, called You Are King by M&C Saatchi, aims to encourage regular Australians as the kings and queens of their financial destiny by spending their own money, rather than relying credit.
Neera Manawakul, Eftpos head of marketing, said: “We all want to have control over our finances. This campaign is about taking command by using your own money. People are looking for simple things to stay on top and eftpos’ one-touch chq and sav buttons is a simple way to be in control. That’s why ‘eftpos is the way Australia pays’.”

In a new cinema ad by agency M&C Saatchi, a man deliberately crashes his car just so he can get closer to a pair of underpants.
The tagline ‘Quality best appreciated up close’ is brought to life when a man smashes into another car so he can hug an air-bag covered with a pair of Miroslav briefs.
The campaign will run across print, radio and cinema, but not on TV.
A print campaign with a similar theme ran nationally in fashion magazines as double page spreads.
Andrew Scott, Miroslav head of marketing said: “The core benefit of the product is quality. We knew we had to do more than put a model in the underwear to communicate that.”
“While the benefit is a pragmatic one, we’ve tried not to take ourselves too seriously”.

Eftpos has launched a new campaign led by a TV ad that positions Aussies as controllers of their own spending.
The campaign by M&C Saatchi sees regular Australians portrayed as kings or queens of their financial destiny with Eftpos encouraging consumers to pay with their own money, rather than rely on credit.
The positioning comes as 73% of Australians with credit cards continue to roll over their balances each month to pay interest, the campaign claims.
Neera Manawakul, Eftpos head of marketing, said: “We all want to have control over our finances. This campaign is about taking command by using your own money.
