Just finished Dabel Brothers' excellent adaptation of George RR Martin's The Hedge Knight.
The adaptation of the text is very true to the original and almost nothing is missed. The art is good, but it could've been much better. It's too much like most of the superhero comic books, I wanted something more fantasy-esque. The story obviously wasn't the problem anyway, since it was already great in novella form.
It's GRRM but in a comic book format.

Has anyone read X-Men First Class by Jeff Parker?
Just finished it, what a great read! I haven't read something that's this much fun in years, and I really like the fact that it's the original X-Men in the starring roles - and Scott & Jean are written the best that I've seen in quite a long time.

QUOTE(madmoz @ Jul 20 2007, 12:19 PM) pardon my ignorance (been away for a long time) but are kinokuniya ones 'direct edition's... you know, the ones from the comics specialty stores or are these now defunct? IIAM, the comics in Kinokuniya are book market editions, though there are some direct editions available too. Btw, a little update on the Y movie. Caruso & Ellsworth Adapting Y: The Last ManQUOTE New Line has set D.J. Caruso to direct and Carl Ellsworth to write the comic book adaptation Y: The Last Man for producers Chris Bender, JC Spink, Mason Novick and David Goyer, reports Variety.
The project reteams Caruso and Ellsworth following their work for Paramount/DreamWorks on Disturbia.
The story centers on a mysterious plague killing nearly all the world's male mammals overnight. A magician who's the only survivor among this group and his male pet monkey set out to find what may have wiped out the male chromosomes.
The comic "Y: The Last Man" was created by created by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra and published by Vertigo. Carl Ellsworth to write?? I thought Vaughan was penning it himself?  |

QUOTE(madstone @ Jul 30 2007, 11:05 AM) comic script and screenplay are 2 different thingsmay be Carl just write the screenplay in the movie D'oh! Of course it's two different things. It's just that last time Vaughan said he was writing the screenplay for the movie himself. Btw, new creative teams have been announced for Astonishing X-Men and Runaways. Astonishing - Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi Runaways - Terry Moore Humberto Ramos Not sure about Ellis on Astonishing but I'm psyched about Moore on Runaways.

Checked out Kino earlier today, have to say I liked the old comics layout better.
Picked up Elephantmen Volume 1. Haven't managed to read it yet but the presentation is first class.
Besides Heroes, other comics going for 30% off include both the Spidey back in black HCs, Justice Vol. 3, 52, Shortcomings and Cairo.
Added on November 29, 2007, 11:19 pmJust finished Elephantmen. Brilliant stuff. Can't wait for the next collection.

Anyone reading Scalped? Just finished the first trade. It's a good solid book. I like seeing a story like this from the native american point of view. Well worth checking out if you're fan of crime fiction.
