    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.

    In reply to Unlock The Black Door With Exclusive Locke & Key Preview
    Based on the strong suggestion of this site, I went to my local Borders yesterday, camped out with a couple of lattes (their seasonal drinks suck donkey), and knocked out the first two trades.

    The initial storyline was damned good, and highly emotional. The second wasn't nearly as interesting, at least on a character-driven emotional level (there was imagination 'a plenty), but you could see where the groundwork was laid to get the intended storyline moving.

    I'm a bit torn on the idea of dragging out the set-up in such a lengthy fashion. On one hand that second trade seemed to go nowhere, but on the other it established possibility that can take the story ANYWHERE.

    Then I started in on the two most recent FABLES trades. I wonder if Willingham knew he was on to pure gold when he pushed that idea on DC? All the wonder of AKIKO and the drama of STRAY BULLETS, the two series I currently miss the most.... #lockekey

    @thexpert: While your sarcasm is noted, the honest answer is "yes." After being burned on so many blind purchases by so many supposedly great comics and movies, I now always sample the wares before I drop coin. Inter-library loan is a great way to sample works, and you can find most trades available with only a small wait time. When/if the economy ever improves I might again be as impulsive with my money as I was in my youth, but it today's age, that money gets spent on things I want to OWN and re-read, and not just sample. #lockekey

    @Allen_Richards: Fair enough! I have to say that's a smarter approach than trying to judge a series based on a single issue. #lockekey
