Thread: The Comic Books and Comic Book movies thread

Well... color me shocked.

I have to know what the reviewer thought of the Crank movies before I know whether or not to adjust my own expectations accordingly.

Prophet #21: A Tasters’ Menu With A Nineties Aftertaste? | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

The new Prophet, coming out from January in 2012 by Brandon Graham and Simon Roy is nothing like that. Except it is a bit. But not in any ways I expected.

Heavy on the captions. Time travelling soldier with an ill defined mission. All there.

But its combined with a vision of the far future, beyond humanity, with a new primitive civilisation to contend with, its reminiscent of one of the first science fiction novels, The Time Machine, brought smack up to date with modern ideas of what technology will bring us, where evolution takes the planet, and what one man might need to do to survive that.

And no popping out veins or panel filling gun cases. There is however live ammunition. And the use of flesh, of fluids, or food may make you long for the comfort of a vein.

This sounds kind of cool.

For Christmas, Absolute Batman And Robin. Next Christmas, That Is. | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Come November 2012, will anyone remember there was a pre-relaunch Batman And Robin?

DC clearly hope so, which is why they are releasing the slightly clumsily titled Absolute Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn, featuring Grant Morrison‘s run on the book with art from Frank Quitely, Philip Tan, David Finch, Cameron Stewart, Andy Clarke and Frazer Irving.

I hear that Morrison's entire Batman run(s) will be coming out in hardcover at some point in the near future. Hopefully in chronological order...
