Distrust is the world's law in "The Last of Us," but in episode 5, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) were forced to make an alliance while dodging the Hunters in Kansas City. They meet a pair of brothers, Henry (Lamar Johnson) & Sam (Keivonn Woodard), then team up with them to get out of the city alive. Sam is a fan of comic books, even though publishing has long since ceased in this overrun world. How excited would he be to know that his big brother was, in another life, a superhero ... sort of.
As Johnson told Entertainment Weekly, he had a small part in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix," one that got whittled down. He recalled, "I was supposed to be one of the new students at Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, but the movie just took a completely different direction and that just didn't happen."

Oni Press will debut its new title Bad Medicine on Free Comic Book Day. Issue #1 of the new ongoing series will be part of the promotional day. The last two years have seen the debut of the publisher's ongoing titles Spontaneous and The Sixth Gun. Writers Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir (Batman Confidential) and artist Christopher Mitten (Criminal Macabre) are working on the series, which centres around a doctor working on the very fringes of medical science. "This is not a zero issue, it's not a preview or an advanced look, this is the actual issue #1 of Bad Medicine," said marketing (more)...

Rashida Jones and her creative team (Christina Weir, Nunzio Defilippis & Jeff Wamester) gathered at Meltdown Comics in West Hollywood to promote the release of Frenemy of the State.
I, for one, couldn't wait to check out the story and found it a fun read.
A mix of people waited in line for Rashida to sign their copy.
[Read More...]
And Rashida was pretty stoked to meet her fans.
I couldn't leave without taking a photo op with Rashida (who told me she liked the site).
And here a Meltdown Comics employee graciously posed with a geeky toy and in front of a rack of Frenemy of the State.
If you missed Rashida in Hollywood you can catch her at the San Diego Comic Con later on this summer.
Coming soon - an interview with Rashida and a chance to win a signed copy of Frenemy of State.

When word hit the Internet not long ago that Rashida Jones, the co-star of NBC’s Parks and Recreation, was creating her own comic book series—a spy thriller called Frenemy of the State, co-written with Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, that will be published in early 2010 by Oni Press—the response was a resounding “Yes, please.” Actually, as sometimes happens when attractive women mix with comic fandom, things got a little creepy. Bloggers didn’t hesitate to use terms like “geek chubby” when describing their excitement. And as one online commentator noted, “Rashida Jones is so hot, and the fact that she made a comic makes her much hotter.” Jones isn’t the first actress to try her hand at comic book authorship—Jenna Jameson and Rosario Dawson both created their own graphic novels, Shadow Hunter and Occult Crimes Taskforce, respectively—but something about Jones’s comic ambitions seems especially surprising.

Rashida Jones has optioned the movie rights to her upcoming comic book, “Frenemy of the State” to Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment. Additionally, Jones will co-write the screenplay with actor Will McCormack.
While “Frenemy of the State” was announced by Oni Press at the San Diego Comic Con back in July, the first issue has yet to hit the stands. Jones will be co-writing the comic book with the husband-and-wife creative team of Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir along with artist Jeff Wamester.
According to Variety, the series follows “a young wealthy heiress who works undercover for the CIA.” Jones, who is perhaps best known for her roles on “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation” on NBC, stated that she didn’t create "Frenemy of the State" as a project in which she'd star.
"It's intended for a girl much younger than me, about age 20, an interesting age for girls...

Who knew that cute girl on “The Office” and now “Parks and Recreation” was also a comic book geek? See, that’s the mistake you make when you judge someone on their looks. Sort of like Paris Hilton. I’m sure underneath all that publicity seeking whoreness there’s a smart, tough gal who could become a spy for the CIA and go on dangerous missions if needed. Well, maybe not, but the star of Rashida Jones’ Oni Press comic book “Frenemy of the State” definitely falls into that category. Universal and Imagine Entertainment have acquired Jones’ “Frenemy of the State” for the big screen. The comic book limited series follows a 20-something heiress who finds herself working undercover for the CIA, thanks to her penchant for spying on her exes. Jones co-created the series and co-writes the comics with Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir. Jones will continue her writing...
