* The great Nick Bertozzi posts some links and thoughts about his MODOK story in Marvel’s Strange Tales anthology.
* Clive Barker and the guys who wrote the last few Saw movies (and a screenplay for the Hellraiser remake) are collaborating on a TV series called Clive Barker’s Hotel. Not sure how I feel about that, not sure I should even be allowed to post the minutiae of Barker’s film career anymore given that I still haven’t fucking seen The Midnight Meat Train, but there you have it. Clive Barker’s Hotel: They have eternity to know your flesh, and you have until 11am to check out.
