Bionic Buzz® got to cover the San Diego Comic Con 2022. There we got to interview Don Handfield a filmmaker, author, producer & writer. We got to talk to Don about working with famous actor / director Andy Serkis (Lord of The Rings Films, Planet of the Apes Franchise, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage), new comic book series Eternus and the latest on his graphic novel Unikorn being turned into a movie.
ETERNUS: From creators Andy Serkis and Andrew Levitas! 360 CE. The great god Zeus is long dead, brutally murdered in his own temple some thirty years prior. Heracles, Zeus’s son and champion, spends his days drunk and depressed as the old gods struggle to stay alive after decades of Christian disruption. When Athena’s Temple is sacked by a mysterious Centurion looking for a powerful relic that once belonged to Zeus, the old gods are convinced they have found Zeus’s killer. Now the mighty Heracles must sober up long enough to keep the lone witness, a 9-year-old blind priestess, alive long enough to identify the killer and finally find justice for his dead father. The main cover features beautiful Rob Prior wraparound artwork!

UNIKORN (Scout Comics/S&S) is a coming-of-age graphic novel . She must find the unicorn’s broken horn and prove to her skeptical father that her horse really is magical before everything she cares about is lost forever. UNIKORN creators Don Handfield and Joshua Malkin are directors, producers, and screenwriters who were inspired to write this book while dealing with the loss of a parent. They wanted to create a story that could address their own pain and help their children process the subject in a manner that was full of hope and wonder. Talented illustrator Rafael Loureiro captured the the magic and beauty of this fanatical, cinematic story. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Chloe Coleman (My Spy), produced by Armory Films with Debbie Berman at the helm. The film will be Berman’s directorial debut but her meteoric career rise over the last couple of years can be attributed to her work editing big budget features including Spider-man: Homecoming, Captain Marvel, and Black Panther.
