    Marvel to be bought by Disney

    I've got mixed feelings about this. Like you, I agree that Marvel has *plenty* of superfluous titles at the moment. I don't care much for Marvel Zombies, or Marvel Apes, or stuff like The Pet Avengers. All of that just dilutes the brand; even when they're creatively written, it's unlikely to win...

    Planetary

    YES! It's about time. I'll reserve my speculation until the issue hits the stands. But this definitely seems to be a promising finale, indeed.

    Marvel to be bought by Disney

    ...with Pulp Fiction, Dogma, etc. because the content is inherently produced for adult audiences, to begin with. (Which is why I actually expect *more* support for the MAX and Icon lines, with the influx of "Disney money", ironically.) My personal concern about Runaways stems from the fact that...

    Marvel to be bought by Disney

    ...probably mean larger promotional budgets for Marvel's all ages products, in particular. No harm done there. And hopefully, it eventually leads to *greater* funding for smaller imprints like Icon, so that books like Criminal can reach a wider audience. My only real worry about creative...

    ...of the artistic merits of the work produced. The Loebs and the Liefelds just make the situation more difficult. Case in point: I actually *like* superheroes AND zombies. But i'll always pick The Walking Dead over Marvel Zombies or Blackest Night, because I don't necessarily care to read...

    Green Manor (discussion)

    Okay, i'm sold on this. What's another month of credit card debt in exchange for some classically styled pulp mystery... right?

    Green Manor (discussion)

    ARGH! I'm definitely interested in reading this, but I really shouldn't be adding more titles to my "to buy" list. *contemplates looking for a T0rr3nt, at least until I can save up enough to order the actual books*

    Dreamcasting 2009 Round 9: "Crime is Doomed..."

    This has been an impressive round, so far. I'm really liking Disorder's cast. Jake Gyllenhaal was actually my first pick, but I decided to go with a slightly older version of Dick, just so that I could cast a Damian who's in his mid teens, and still retain the age gap between the new...

    Dreamcasting 2009 Round 9: "Crime is Doomed..."

    Well played, Zombipanda! I really wish I'd built a cast around Jude Law as Dick/Batman. Excellent choice, man. Haven't seen The Wire, so I can't really comment on your pick for Gordon. But I find it absolutely hilarious that you're willing to cast him, then recommend Charlize Theron (who...

    Published Work!

    I'm going to blow my own horn very shortly, so please indulge me. I've been on a prolonged hiatus from the board, and something major happened during this period: I had a short story published in the Philippine Speculative Fiction IV anthology. I'm about to go over the terms of the contract...

    ...by Grant Morrison Starring... Michael C. Hall as Batman/Dick Grayson Dick Grayson's Batman is ultimately just a role he's playing. He's not *really* Batman; it's a persona he will perform, as Alfred has suggested. Will this be the ultimate case of method acting? Or will Dick begin to...

    Compound, Frustrated Hollywood Producer

    Oh, snap! I almost forgot about Elysium. I still quite like the idea. And i'm pretty sure it would draw attention from the same kind of viewers who follow True Blood (which hadn't aired yet, when I first posted this.)

    Dream-Teaming Round 8: Excalibur

    Indeed! I'd add that to my pull list, no questions asked, with either of our proposed creative teams. But the mini would need to run at least eight issues to allow each individual character on both sides of the war to really matter. The funny thing about actual continuity is that there's...

    So are UXM and UFF finished for good?

    Sweet! I, for one, look forward to reading it. Niiiice. This was also the direction I *hoped* Heroes would be moving towards, in Season 2. Oh well. Honestly, even if Marvel editorial would prefer to just skirt the issue of mutants' macro effects on society, there are *still* plenty of examples...

    So are UXM and UFF finished for good?

    Dreamcasting 2009 Round 8: Pulp Heroes

    Damn! Wish I'd checked back sooner. I would have loved to join this round, in particular. Oh well. I might just come up with a cast for ****s and giggles anyway, because it's just so fun, with a set of characters like this.
