NYCC: Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy Reunite at Vertigo

It's really no surprise that when two of our favorite creators here at IGN -- Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy -- paired up for last year's American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest, the series wound up being IGN's Best Mini-Series of 2011. Now we've got even more to look forward to from the duo, as Vertigo revealed at their panel today that they'd be reuniting for a new mini-series called The Wake, an underwater sci-fi horror tale.

"I couldn't be more excited about The Wake!” explained Snyder. “This is a story Sean and I have actually been developing together for more than a year, a big, twisted, sprawling science fiction and horror epic, all of which begins with a single, terrifying discovery at the bottom of the ocean. It's one of the most ambitious stories I've ever done, and there's no one I'd rather be creating it with than Sean Murphy. Sean's a great friend and we had a blast together on American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest; luckily, he's also one of the industry's brightest new stars, someone with unrivaled abilities as a world-builder -- every scene he draws is so fully realized, so richly imagined, it's hugely inspiring working with him, and I'm grateful to him for signing on to be my partner at the end of the world, here."

The Wake is set for release in 2013.

Boondock Saints 3 Happening?

Norman Reedus is best known as The Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon these days, but Boondock Saints fans will always think of the actor as Murphy MacManus. And now Reedus says a third film in that cult fave series could be happening.

In an interview with IFC, Reedus said that the film is "definitely in the works." He then added, "Look for it. It's gonna be crazy." He also noted that he was meeting with costar Sean Patrick Flanery and writer-director Troy Duffy that same night.

IFC adds that there's no script yet, but still -- 10 years passed between the first film and the second. Compared to that, these guys are way ahead of the game for Part 3.

Ryan Murphy Reveals the New Title for American Horror Story: Season 2

Co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy has announced the title of the next chapter for FX's American Horror Story - American Horror Story: Asylum.

"When we launched the show last year, we kept quiet about the closed-ended nature of the show because we didn't want to tip off the audience that the characters were not going to survive," said Murphy. "Now that it has been established that each year is a closed-ended story, the time seemed right to reveal what we’re calling the new installment.

"We picked 'Asylum' because it not only describes the setting -- an insane asylum run by Jessica Lange's character which was formerly a tuberculosis ward -- but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted. This year's theme is about sanity and tackling real life horrors."

The new season stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Zachary Quinto, James Cromwell, and Joseph Fiennes. Production began in July. As previously reported, none of the returning cast members from Season 1 are playing the same characters.

American Horror Story: Asylum will premiere this fall in October on FX.
