July 14, 2011 7:49 pm I can see Millar's business approach to this and how smart it is. From a money-making standpoint, it is a good idea. I've never felt that a creator needed to be "broke" or "allow publishers/labels/corporations" to be authentic. Look at Robert Kirkman. The guy has a hand in his projects being adpated to other medium's, and as far as we can tell, seem to enjoy the process and make quite the sum of money off of it. I understand that it's Millar's ultimate goal to get these made into films, and in that sense he is successful, but it still looks like he is tossing readers secondhand work so he can give a studio exec a beautiful proposal with pictures and stuff courtesy of Lenil Yu.

July 14, 2011 6:05 pm The Fog - Tom Cruise
Kasey Anne -? (Profile view doesn't reveal much)
Bastard - Defintely Michael Gambon @ ed209AF
The Praetorian- ? (Far off)
TK Mcabe - Justin Timberlake
Johnny Bolt - Joaquin Phoenix

Apprently he does his casting this way too. I think it's a fun concept, but I kind of feel it is (insulting? lame?) that he's already sold the movie rights. Maybe insulting is the wrong word. I mean, the guy isn't insulting me.  I guess I just don't find his actions appealing, and I think it kind of makes him look like an ass. 

April 26, 2011 11:04 am This feels like it shouldn't be happening. Like everything society stands for would never allow this much "Holy Shit!" into one movie. I mean, eye-candy special effects, sure. But to allow The Avengers, a team most of the general public I don't think knows about, on the big screen is... Well, I just never thought we'd get there. Lukcy for us.

This will be a tough one to pull off, but possibly one of the most satifying summer flicks ever, right behind Raiders.

April 14, 2011 11:47 pm I feel like I'm going to get railroaded for this, but I dislike Chaykin. It's funny because you guys refer to "good" or "bad" Chaykin, and I just keep seeing the same bloated, stretchy faces with different hair colors. At least recent Chaykin. I just googled Chaykin art, and I can see some of the good in old Chaykin. But when I see Chaykin on a book, I don't pick it up unless I have to.

February 21, 2011 3:17 pm Overall, the first issue had its flaws, but was still a servicable enough IF tale to keep me buying after the downfall of Immortal Iron Fist two years ago. Just wished danny was still a Father, and really surprised when he was sleeping with Meachum's daughter instead of Misty.

New Power Man is fun. Hopefully if it's quality work, Mignola-distribute it, with a new mini every couple months.

February 21, 2011 3:13 pm It's been way to long. Hearing that a new Scalped TPB is coming out is the best birthday present ever, and my birthday is in September. It's like telling me I won the lottery, and the lottery is $17.99 to buy Scalped vol 7, and that is still okay. That last one made no sense.
