I did not want to write a novel.

ABC Warriors was actually an offshoot of Nemisis

If you consider 2000AD was the "training ground" for a lot of most talented writers such as Allan Moore & Grant Morrison Garth Ennis & Pat Mills, Artists Kevin O'Neill, Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons & Carlos Ezquerra a major part of what we have read over the years owes a major debt of gratitude.

should I bring up MARSHALL LAW???

Sure even though it was only published under the 2000AD line (I think it was DC had bought them) and not the actual newspaper comic.

Marshall Law was one of the 1st comics to point out the "Hazzards" of Sex between Supe's and Norm's.

This comic was actually responsible for a script change in the second Superman movie so that before Clark & Lois had sex he had to loose his powers. This was parodied in an underground comic in which Superman has sex with Lois and his "wad" is seen shooting out the top of her head. This danger was then shown in the movie Hancock in which Will Smith pulls off the girl blowing him just before he blows his load thru the roof of his trailer thus saving her life.

hopefully a bit more promissing than the Stallone one.

I should read more of the A.D 2000 stuff. Is it readily available in reprints these days? :think:

Yes. You can get volumes such as this:

on Amazon for around $15 each. And they're pretty thick, too. I think they've reprinted most all of the long-running books in this format. I don't actually own any of them currently, so I can't speak for the quality, but from what I've seen of them they're a step above Marvel's Essential reprint books.

And at that price...

XERXES Now Titled 300: BATTLE OF ARTEMISIA

It?s been awhile since we?ve heard anything regarding Warner Bros.? 300 spinoff, then titled Xerxes. With 300 director Zack Snyder hard at work on Man of Steel, we learned back in February that Guy Ritchie passed on the pic and since then ?mum? has been the word. All of that changes now as we finally have a couple of news bits to report from the project: 1) Warner Bros. has retitled the film 300: Battle of Artemisia and 2) Noam Murro (Smart People) and Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown) are considered the top candidates to helm the film. Hit the jump for details.

Word of the title change and potential directorial candidates comes by way of Deadline. While I?m sure everyone was prepared for Warner Bros. to drape the spinoff?s promotional materials with 300 reminders, the change from Xerxes to 300: Battle of Artemisia essentially removes all doubt regarding that marketing end.
