"Nicole Kidman at one point was attached to the project"  Holy fuckin Christ!! Who did they have in mind for Crocker? Adam Sandler?  Good news though. Q&C is the first I recommend to curious non comic-reading friends and whenever anyone mentions they like spy thrillers Plus, I'm a Londoner so be good to see some UK action for a change :)

Things to look forward to in 2009!

On Jan 9, 2009 9:00 AM

Yeah, I'm baffled by that one too. Every Guy Ritchie movie is a truly horrific experience. Maybe it's a US/UK thing. As a Londoner, I tend to see his films through very different eyes to someone from over the pond and he just nauseates the hell out of me with his posho version of chirpy cheeky prankster gangsters and headache-inducing 80s MTV cutting. Q&C though.....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts_and_culture/7746417.stm BBC haven't covered a comic book release since Cap #25 - I'm getting down to my LCS early, I can just see this selling out if it gets loads of media coverage

Not that I spend much time there but I was on the Newsarama forums earlier and Jamal Igle was on there posting in a thread similar to this one and said something along the lines of 'don't worry, it's all part of the plan..' We shall see, I'm all up for change but Action Comics has just so frickin good lately, it seems like it couldn;t be happening to a less apt title.

The iFanboy Letter Column - 08/08/08!

On Aug 8, 2008 4:00 PM

Even though, the single volume of Bone is a thing of beauty and I own and have read it along with the single issues when they were released, I think it only fair to give a mention to the recoloured Scholastic versions. They really are beautiful and the colouring gives it a whole new lease of life. I'm not generally one for needlessly embellishing an already existing work of art but if you can ...

@mistersizzle - wow, that's some serious patience you got there. You had to wait 60 issues and the end of the run for Y The Last Man to reach HC. You could be talking decades here!!! For those interested the 3rd TPB comes out October 1st which goes up to issue 18, so you can pick this and next issues up and be all up to date when the trade comes.  It's what I'm doing - books this good c...
