The CWs Arrow targets Torchwood star John Barrowman

Anyway, the movie didn’t happen, perhaps because the most confused people were at Warner Bros. Neil Gaiman did spend time at one point trying to explain the series to the suits, and commissioned a big suite of images to help get the idea across. Those images are now online. They’re more a slideshow encapsulation of the grand scope of Sandman than true concept art, and those who know the series well will recognize moments from many of the major story arcs from the series’ 75-issue run.

Garth Ennis Takes “Battlefields” For One Last Ride*|*The Beat

As you may recall, The Boys is winding down soon. You might be wondering what Garth Ennis is going to be filling his dance card with, post-boys? It seems Ennis is revisiting war comics, with one final outing for his “Battlefields” franchise.

C'mon, Garth... why end it? :(

It has to end eventually, no? :(

Funny, I was thinking about Ennis war stuff he did for Vertigo the other day. I should pull out some of this stuff and re-read. Lol, what's the point of having boxes and boxes of comics if I don't re-read some of them every now and then. I also wanna re-read my Hulk comics! :D

TPBs are a whole lot easier when it comes to re-reading, aren't they?

His War Stories stuff for Vertigo is by far my favorite of his war comics. Unless you count Adventures In The Rifle Brigade.

I'm in the same boat with back issues vs. trades. Probably going to sell a large chunk of my back issues sometime in the next couple of years.

It's no guarantee of quality, obviously, but I like it.

Plot Of Guardians Of The Galaxy Movie Revealed By Logline | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

About a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.

I'm guessing Star-Lord is going to be the center of this flick (which makes sense).
