Example. J. Love Hewitt's book is about to drop too, and all she had to do was bat those... eyes... at her comic-guy. The thing gets automatic approval no question.
If you see LA/Hollywood Craigslist Creative postings, you can see that comics are the new script pitch.
Definitely not for the love of the medium. True comic fans like Kevin Grevioux, Nic Cage, and the late David Carradine aside, publishers get stars and dollars in their eyes just as quick as any studio. And anybody, actor or shmoe, would love the words "published author" behind their name... picture-books like comics or children's books provide that easier than 1,000-page novels.

And yes, it definitely does.

Umbrella Academy is a brillant book. If you haven't read it pick up either trade. I also liked the only issue of OTC I found at my comic book store.

I also never knew of John Lithgow before 3rd Rock, and is surprised to learn his forte is playing dangerous mentally-unstable characters.
And Tyrese was in both Transformers movies, so he's already pretty famous.

Sounds horrible to me.

If he's going for the same kind of dark, moody, and pessimistic veneer, I'm not. Regardless of its (many) flaws, Trek always aspired to have a positive and inspiring outlook, even in the darkest of circumstances.
When a leader is rescued from the enemy in Trek, he aims to recover from his trauma and regain normalcy; in Battlestar, he dons an eyepatch and sinks to the bottom of a bottle.

I think though that it is quite a stretch calling her 'black'. She is 1/4 Afro-Cuban, 1/4 Puerto Rican, 1/4 Native American, 1/4 Irish.
Has anyone else noticed that all the most beautiful people tend to be racial hybrids?

I think he was referring to Angela Basset when he was talking of a Black female captain.

...
as a starship captain. I think she would play the part well. The idea of a Star Trek reboot that isn't just "younger, sexier, and more asplosions" does appeal to me.
