Moebius & Jodorowsky for the win! Haven't started on it yet, but flipped through it and the artwork is awesome. It's a much darker world without Moebius. :( He totally influenced Geof Darrow, didn't he? I notice some similarities in style.
 
Damn, Orph. That must have set you back a few bucks.

I have two volumes of a previous printing of that story (of three, I think), but I've never picked up the other or that because it's expensive!
 
NYCC: Garth Ennis To Launch Red Team For New Crime Line At Dynamite | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Red Team is the story of a Major Crimes task force unit in the NYPD, four of New York’s finest- and smartest- who decide to murder a suspect. Very soon, the worst possible thing that could possibly happen… happens. And that’s just episode one. Seven issues of hardcore crime drama in the tradition of The Wire and The Shield. “Earlier this year, the four members of the NYPD’s elite strike unit Red Team decided to murder a suspect. And the worst possible thing that could happen.. happened!” – Garth Ennis

Interesting. It being only 7 issues concerns me, though, as it seems like most books he starts on and then passes to someone else after a single story end up not being anything special.
 
NYCC: Andy Diggle To Write Dynamite Crime Comic | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

“It’s not every day that a publisher offers you the chance to create a whole new world from scratch, and I’m having fun cooking up something dark, funny, violent and twisted for Dynamite,” says writer Andy Diggle. “Hard-hitting genre fiction with a twist, for readers who don’t like having their intelligence insulted. The kind of comic I want to read myself. So there’s really just one question – are you in or are you out?”

Diggle's a good writer. If you haven't read The Losers, you're missing out.

Ha! I watched it mainly because I have a thing for Zoe Saldana. Seriously, it wasn't that bad of a movie, just not as good as it could had been. I have only read a few of the Losers comics. Apparently the whole series didn't last that long, say about 30 issues, but I do think I am missing out by not reading more of it.

Life gets in the way of reading sometimes, you know? ;)
 
RZA to Adapt Grant Morrison’s HAPPY!; Morrison to Pen the Script | Collider

Happy! has a delightfully goofy premise. Per Heat Vision:

Happy! centers on Nick Sax, a scummy corrupt ex-cop and hitman. After a hit goes bad and Sax is left gravely injured, he is suddenly able to see Happy, a cheerful little blue horse who won’t give in to adversity, no matter what unpleasant obstacles come in the way. Days before Christmas, Sax teams up with the saccharine horse to the save the life of a troubled kid and maybe find redemption amid the squalor of his city.

That didn't take long at all.
 
Just in case any of y'all aren't reading Dial H yet, here's what you missed this last issue.

ENORMOUS Adaptation Helmed by Andre Ovredal | Collider

Heat Vision brought the adaptation of Enormous to our attention. The property is moving to a new publisher, 21 Ink Publishing, which is expected to announce an 18-book release, starting in 2013, at the upcoming New York Comic-Con. Askarieh and Ovredal are extending beyond a simple theatrical release to include a high-end digital web series along with a television show, all in an attempt to tell the story of surviving these events from multiple perspectives of humans around the world. The duo seek to create something tonally in line with Cloverfield and The Walking Dead, focusing on developing strong characters with the rampaging monsters being relegated to the background. Ambitious. And I’d love to see it succeed. Anyone who’s seen Ovredal’s Trollhunter knows that the director has the technical know-how to bring these creations to life on a small budget, lest they go the way of Terra Nova.

I truly love that giant monsters are making a comeback, and if you have not seen Trollhunter...DO IT!!!!!!!!

Young Avengers relaunches! Gillen! McKelvie! Loki! America?! | The Beat

Marvel have finally announced that, yes, they will be publishing a new volume of Young Avengers this January, from the creative team of Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie, and Matt Wilson. Revamping the team somewhat, this new volume of the title will see Kid Loki form a new team made up of Wiccan, Hulkling, Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, and Ms America Chavez.

This version of Marvel Boy will be more like he was when Grant Morrison created him, and less like the ‘Protector’ thing Brian Michael Bendis gave him.

That all sounds good. I'll be picking this up.
