    It just occurred to me: Are new comics coming Thursday because of Veterans' Day?

    Edit: Oh holy crap, how did I miss this? S.W.O.R.D. #1 comes out this week! Abigail Brand is the second best thing to come out of Joss's run on Astonishing (the best being Armor).

    Oh f*ck that! Sgt. Rock has to be in World War II. Warner Bros. may be abandon the WWII because of potential racism? Bullshit.

    They probably don't see any marketing value in another WWII movie. Instead they may try to make it modern so that the movie can connect with the youths who have grown up watching the Afghan and Iraq War.

    For a second I read the headline as "Our American Vampire Cousin" and thought it was about a secret vampire plot to kill Lincoln. #americanvampire

    I shall make the obligatory post of

    "aw hell naow!"

    in expectation of the subsequent development that, once you start down the slippery-slope of making it more action-y and sci-fi-ish, you inevitably end up with Will Smith in the title role.

    By rights the part belongs to Tom Sizemore. "Saving Private Ryan" was a goddamned 2 hour audition tape for Sgt Rock. #sgtrock

    Why not Sgt Rasczak?

    Otherwise this just sounds like the comic book movie disaster equivalent of Speed Racer.

    Hell Yeah! Amanda "The Wall" Waller is one of the best characters in the DC Universe. She kicked ass in the recent Checkmate by Greg Rucka. Pam Grier is worthy of this role however everyone knows that CC Pounder was born to play Amanda Waller. #smallville

    Whilst I'm on entirely the wrong side of the Atlantic to have a hope of getting it before the trade, the Wall-E series actually has me really excited, as does Supergod. Although I'm reasonably sure a Supergod movie done by Pixar isn't going to be happening aaaaany time soon... #avengers

    Excellent choice both of actress and character. The Suicide Squad are in an odd position where they're an idea old enough to appeal to longterm readers but also high concept enough to translate across to TV. #smallville

    "If you're not familiar with Kate Beaton and her hysterical (and often historical) comics"

    That's not what "hysterical" means.
