    P. C. Russell does Gaiman! (drools)

    Hot. I am getting a twitching sensation in my ... uhh, eyes (?), just thinking about it.

    Mignola should get him to draw Hellboy. Imagine the beautiful madness! (drools a lot) #gijoe

    How it's done? One word: poorly.

    There are a few bits that I just plain feel weird about, but what disturbs me the most is how "plain" the artwork looks. This looks like some regular old, run-of-the-mill Star Wars/Predator comic. Nothing really stands out and I think they broke the record for "Shades of Brown in a Comic". It's like they were so afraid to ruin it that they decided not to take any chances at all.

    All of that would be forgivable if this were a Star Wars or Predator comic; it's not, though, and I refuse to believe that PKD's vision looked like this when he was writing it.

    If they're being so faithful, then why is Rachael wearing a gray coat when the same panel says it's "brightly striped"?

    @Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.:
    I could be wrong, but it looks like they took "brightly striped" to mean that it has bright (white) stripes down the arms of the coat.

    Nothing will make me forget Blade Runner. But this still looks interesting.

    This is one those rare instances where I actually prefer the movie to the book. It's too bad. The art for the comic looks good.

    @Belabras: Yeah, DADOES was never one of my favorite PKD books - I read it after seeing Blade Runner of course, but even so, I found the book to be dissapointing. Like you say, a fairly rare occurance. About the only other time I've had that was The Prestige - film was again, far better than the book imo.

    I have to say that I'm interested to see what Peter and Max will be like; the idea of a Fables prose novel intrigues me.



    If you don't really want to pick up the Fables reissue, there's a preview of Peter and Max at that link above in PDF format. The look reminds me of an L. Frank Baum book, which is just one more reason to be excited.



    As an aside, why hyperlink to tags for things where the only result for the tag is the one story it appears in?

    @tk.: Thanks for the link! I have to say, I am VERY impressed by how many good stories Bill Willingham's come up with so far, and he certainly doesn't seem to be drying up yet. I never would've guessed I would become such a huge fan of his based on his pre-Fables work.

    When you said "Classic Science Heroes" I thought they made a sequel to "The Five Fists of Science" :)

    What did everyone think of the first issue of Wednesday's Comic?

    @van_line: It's a fun idea with some real talent behind it. I thought all the stories were good and the layout was cool. However, the $4 price tag, especially for a newspaper, is not going to bring in any new readers. It might even scare away a bunch.



    So will I buy it? Sure, I liked it a lot. I just think it'd of been better served being a supplemental in USA today or whatever. Something to promote how comics aren't "BiFF ZAP", which we all know haven't been for years, but the mass population doesn't. Show the real talent behind these characters.



    In my opinion, Wednesday Comics could be for new fans what the Ultimate Universe did for Spiderman around the time of the first movie. It could have been that catalyst, but as it is, it's a $4 newspaper with some serious talent on it.

    I've never really been one for the comic books, but this looks super cool and has me excited. I reckon I'm going to have to start visiting my local comic book shop on a regular basis.
