Metal Made Flesh 2: Blood and Oil | Neon Dystopia

Rarely am I the one to promote a graphic novel or any type of reading media given the huge lack of time I have for consuming entertainment in that form. But being a long time fan of graphic novels/mangas, Metal Made Flesh caught my eye. Apparently I wasn’t alone either. While I haven’t read the …

True Skin may have come out a few years ago, but it’s lasting impact on me is always somewhere when I watch other cyberpunk films. It takes place in the distant future where it is said that people no longer want to be “organic, grow sick, grow old, and die”. It follows a man who …

Connected: A Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland | Neon Dystopia

What is it that draws you to the Cyberpunk genre? This is a question I ask myself at least a dozen times every year since I first saw Johnny Mnemonic when I was around ten years old. Did I see any Cyberpunk movies before that? Probably, but none that left a lasting impression as much …

7X6X2: PAUL POPE’S NEW LIVE-ACTION, SPACE-WESTERN SHORT FILM

Graphic novelist Paul Pope has been busy of late. He released two graphic novels in 2013: Battling Boy and The Death of Haggard West, and another, The Rise of Aurora West, is on the way in September.

And yet the prolific artist found the time to work with film director and writer Sridhar Reddy on a brand new short film, 7x6x2, based on one of Pope’s graphic novellas. The story is sort of a sci-fi Western, a bit of a take on the effects of war, and absolutely full of nefarious, ape-like creatures
