The Comic Books and Comic Book movies thread



So completely against my better judgment ... this looks very interesting. 4 was one of my best friends in my youth that I could count on through thick and thin (loved me some Sue Storm and the Thing) but every movie attempt has been so lame ... cautiously optimistic here ...

Mr. Fantastic Won’t Stretch His Body In FANTASTIC FOUR
http://collider.com/fantastic-four-mr-fantastic-stretch/

This is actually not a big deal at all, but there’s a general sense of outrage out there regarding this issue (of course, it’s the year of outrage) so I feel compelled to chime in on the behalf of clarification. In director Josh Trank‘s upcoming Fantastic Four remake, Miles Teller‘s Reed Richards will not, technically, be able to stretch his body. Instead, he’ll be stretching the space around his body. What’s the actual difference? None, as far as you’ll be able to see since the stretching of the space makes it look like his body is stretching.

I have far less trouble with that than I do the other Ultimates liberties they have taken. Why can NOBODY ever do Doom correctly?
 
'Darrow C'Est Fou!' Dark Horse Is Bringing Bourbon Thret To America

You might recognize, “Darrow C’Est Fou!” or “Darrow it’s crazy!” from Geof Darrow’s cult classic graphic novel Bourbon Thret. Originally published in France in the 1980’s by Aedena, Bourbon Thret is coming to America. Dark Horse Comics will publish the first ever American edition, which will feature an introduction of the chainsaw wielding Shaolin Cowboy. The book will look similar to Dark Horse’s recent release of Shaolin Cowboy: Shemp Buffet. Bourbon Thret features the first appearance of the iconic character, complete with ultra violent and unforgettable zombie stories that continue to make a mark on fans.

Oh man, this is so awesome. I've been waiting for a collection of this stuff ever since I discovered Darrow. Some of the best, most detailed linework you'll ever see.

C2E2: Geof Darrow Talks Career, Moebius & Unfinished "Shaolin Cowboy" Film

Darrow said that all of the film's animals were of the talking variety, which did not thrill the Japanese studio. "The Japanese didn't like talking animals, but I said, 'It's reincarnation, and everybody in this movie believes in reincarnation.'"

The movie also featured a villain called King Crab, a talking crab that controlled a human with its pincers in his brain and ran a strip club called Bush Gardens.

Sadly, Darrow said that it would take about $3 million to finish the film, and since the financiers backed out, it will likely never be completed.

Booooooooooooo!
