While writer Steve Niles deservedly gets much of the attention for the success of graphic novel 30 Days Of Night fans overlook the contribution of artist Ben Templesmith at their own peril.

The folks at Halo 8 - the producers of 'illustrated film' Godkiller - are back at work in the form, a style that essentially fuses the graphic novel with motion graphics for a result that's not quite full animation but plays to the same sort of crowd.

The first teaser is freshly arrived on the scene and it is looking good. Check it below.
