And Guy Ritchie's "SH" is underway. →
The casting info is interesting, but the update on the proposed European jaunt is cool.
Yeah, I’m a bit of Holmes fan. I still think BBC!Holmes > RDJ!Holmes.

An article on the “thriller” genre in comics, that grittier, heroes-without-tights kind of story. The author points to a manga thriller series called Until Death Do Us Part as a good example of one that really works:
“This is the kind of compulsive serilaised thriller we all want to read in our Marvel and DC comics, and here we have manga schooling everyone again. What’s...
Alan Moore dishes it out... again. →
Writer Alan Moore talks with Adi Tantimedh about DC trying to buy the rights to WATCHMEN off of him. He was not amused.

If we can’t have another film, a comic book is a wonderful consolation prize.
Mark Waid's redone speech from the Harvey Awards →
I heard this guy speak in a convention panel. By himself. For an hour. He’s definitely a brave individual, and he knows what he’s talking about. I have yet to get my hands on any issues from his two current comic book series, Irredeemable and Incorruptible, but they sound great.

What it has come down to is that I don’t write enough. And if the only way my motivated self can get my lazy self to agree to put fingers to keyboard is to bribe it with the promise of publishing… well, this seems to be the best way.
Also, this blog will collect all those things which need a place to commingle. The comic book theme (as it is) will hopefully be a nice way to...
