See Art Commissioned to Pitch Neil Gaiman?s ?Sandman? to Warner Bros. | /Film

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



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.

Gonna straight out suck. Plus side, once the last TPB comes out I can relive the series whenever. I am behind an issue but I am not fond of the logical conclusion of this series. I get it...not fond of it. But then that's what Ennis does best 'innit?

Yup. It's going to be the end of Hitman all over again. :(

Speaking of which, the TPB collecting the end of that series came out last week. I need to buy the last two ASAP so I can re-read the whole run again.
 
Seriously. Hahaha! Remember that issue with those klansmen who are talking about how the boss only talks about hating black people. And one of them is like, I hate black people too, but I like to talk about other things too. And then the boss shows up and before saying hello, he just starts batmouthing black people, lol! mhihi:

I didn't sleep a wink, so I am laughing at everything right now. :P

The humor in that series was unlike anything I had read in comics before. And the whole Jesse becomes a sherrif and deals with the Klan seemed like a digression to me at the time, but I realize just how funny those issues were.
