Metalocalypse creator Bendan Small and his friends have a full plate this year. In addition to laying down tracks for
The Dethalbum II and (hopefully, damnit) coming up with the time to do a follow-up to last year's summer Dethtour, Small and co. are stretching their nascent entertainment empire into unknown territory.
First up, we have
Dethklok vs. The Goon, a comic book in collaboration between Small and
The Goon creator Eric Powell.
The Goon is one of the most surreal things happening in quasi-mainstream comics right now, so these two should be a good fit.
Next up is
Titmouse Games, the brand-spanking-new game development arm of
Metalocalypse's development studio. While no press releases officially corroborate the sentiment, I'm pretty sure that this is a direct response to the gaming industry not being brutal enough (as opposed to being
brütal enough, of course [Hi, Tim!])
Titmouse Games just announced their
first really-real title, which looks like what would happen if
Hellboy's Mike Mignola* did a game about what would happen if one of the ghost pirates from
Scooby-Doo died (again, I guess) and went to
Waterworld. That, folks, is just fine by me.
I for one hope that this signals the impending birth of several Dethklok-themed "rebrandings" of popular franchises.
Super Toki Bros. or
Murderface the Hedgehog would be nice, but for my money, I want a viscerally snarky take on glorified rape...glorifier
The Path.
"We's ams just goings to do episode of ours shows in forest while yous dildos just hold ups buttons ons controllers until someones am being horriblys violatsed and murders, since that's what
The Paths ams anyways."
There, it's done. Scriptwriter credit, please.
