    I don't like comic adaptations of episodes of television shows. I want comics based on TV shows to explore things we don't see on screen. I already saw A Hole In The World. Comic adaptations of books can be fun, because they provide a visual to something that had only been in my head before, but adaptations of TV episodes feel like they're just asking for my money.

    @alixana: I agree and I am sitting here wondering why, especially now after all this time, they are revisiting this particular episode?

    Are they adding anything extra to it, filling things in or just adapting the story exactly as aired to comic.

    If the latter I am wondering what the point is and why not just go get the DVD if someone wants to see that story again?

    @Motoki: I'm not sure...they did Smile Time a while back, I think that was the first time I noticed an episode being adapted. I wavered back and forth about buying it because Smile Time was just hilarious. But then I decided that hello, I already knew the storyline, and if I wanted to see it again, I could do what you suggested and just pop the DVD in.

    I would personally recommend "Murderer #1". A unique story, with an interesting protagonist.

    It's part of Top Cow's Pilot Season. Hopefully it'll get picked up. I for one want to read more.

    Huzzawha??? Powers is now going to be released by Marvel!?!!!

    The same Powers that is 10% clitoris jokes, 30% monkeys having sex, and 75% dropping F-bombs? (I know that equals 115%, but Bendis has a lot of F-bombs to drop)

    Does Marvel know what they're getting into, or is this going to be the first comic book composed entirely of asterisks?

    @tande04: Though it was technically under the Icon imprint. Owned by Marvel, but in the same way that Disney owns Miramax, and uses it to put out films that might not be appropriate for it's kid-friendly image.

    I guess the regular Marvel label has become quite a bit darker as of late with the various Marvel Zombies and Thunderbolts titles, but I'd hate to think that my favorite 100% creator owned comic series was suddenly forced to clean up it's act because of the watchful eye of some mouse.

    The first 50 issues of Shade are awesome. Besides Peter Milligan's psychedelic writing, you can totally watch Chris Bachalo grow as an artist. It's fan-f'ing-tastic. And Sean Phillips ("Sleeper," "Criminal") does the covers later on in the series!
