The first theatrical trailer for the long-awaited remake of 80's cult classic Red Dawn was released yesterday... Well, I was waiting for it, anyway. If you've never seen Red Dawn, it's basically the movie that inspired Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, except you replace the U.S. military with a pack of teenagers living in the wild. Feel free to get excited now.

Artist and funny guy Brian McLachlan wished that cult movies like Mad Max, Red Dawn, and Goonies had gotten their days in the comic book sun, untainted by "staff writers with no love for the characters." So he made it happen -- well, the covers, at least -- having lots of fun with classic comic book styles in the process.
