According to Deadline, Alexandre Aja is in talks to direct Undying Love, an adaptation of the Image Comics title. Since making his way to the states following the success of 2003’s High Tension, Aja has directed The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors, and Piranha, three films based on projects that have been previously made. Fortunately it looks like that part of his career is over, as he takes on this gritty noir-horror adaptation.
The comic was originally written and illustrated by Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman. The comic is a horror-action tale that mixes vampire mythology and Chinese folklore. The tale, set in modern day Hong Kong, follows ex-soldier John Sargent who has has fallen fin love with a beautiful Chinese woman named Mei. Unfortunately for Sargent, Mei has a secret that keeps them apart, in that she is a vampire. In order to free Mei from the vampiric curse, Sargent must destroy the vampire that made her. The only problem is that Mei was turned by one of the most powerful vampires in history who is protected by an underworld army of monsters.

Welcome to another edition of The Pull List Comic Reviews! This week we have a shorter list, but as you know, it’s about quality, not quantity. Besides, all of your favorites are here, including a couple of surprises. As always, WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.
PULL OF THE WEEK:
Wolverine: Under The Boardwalk one-shot
Marvel Comics – $3.99 US
Writer: Stuart Morre
Artist: Tomm Coker
Score: 8.5
About to board a plane for Alaska, Wolverine receives a mysterious text message asking him to go to Atlantic City instead. Stranger still is the reference to a man Logan hasn’t seen in 40 years, Phil De Blasio, a mafia underboss who tried to kill him last time they met. What transpired on that boardwalk all those years ago has found a way to catch up to him, much to Logan’s chagrin.
In this latest one-shot focusing on Wolverine, writer Stuart Moore crafts a mystery that takes the character from Atlantic City to Coney Island, searching for answers while being reminded that most of his memories contain violence for a reason. Where Moore differed from other recent writers of Wolverine-centric one-shots, however, is what made this issue work, and that is the fact that the writer never lost sight of how a haunted character like Wolverine really shouldn’t experience peace and closure.
Complimenting this wonderful story is the art by Tomm Coker. The artist, hands down, drew the nicest issue I’ve seen this week. A noir vibe that pulsates throughout, the art is every bit as scratchy and slashy as the character’s past has shown, and while the story centers more on inner reflections and whatnot, there’s still the occasional action shot that mirrors Wolverine’s famous savagery. Beautiful in every way, the art within this issue should not be passed up.
