Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
Oooooo:
Vertigo’s Exterminators series is in development as a Showtime series, with Dexter exec producer Sara Colleton heading it up, according to Hollywood Reporter.
Potentially awesome. And might make up for Vertigo dropping it. Speaking of DC's suckiness....
So did the rumored Preacher HBO series just fade away? Or does it still have legs? Not that I trust Mark Steven Johnson with it.
I think it's probably in development hell; it's been ages and they never got as far as shooting a pilot. And the head of HBO entertainment has changed since then.
Finally got my copy of last week's Buffy. The art is ass.
The story is good, the dialog is good, the pacing is good. The art...just...gah. WTF?
Also picked up The Umbrella Academy, Volume 2 of Lone Wolf and Cub's new pocket sized set--very handy and portable.
Diamond apparently made a mistake and shipped some stuff out early (I think it was just Ultimate Origins and Trinity for me). My comic book dude said I couldn't have them because of "street dates" and he was too afraid of Diamond to let them out of the store.
Finally got my copy of last week's Buffy. The art is ass.
See, I always think the art is ass, so I didn't really notice a difference.
Up until now, I've thought the art's been mostly decent. in this issue some of the faces in some of the panels--and I mean Willow and Buffy (hello!) just sucked so bad, I winced. Actually winced.
Great. I thought that they had been doing better. I gather that we've had a change in artist?

P-C is me, and even this issue is nowhere near as bad as the Angel:ATF art (at leasts the main artist - I've liked some of the one-shot bits, like Lorne's Day One, or the dream bit at the beginning of the latest).
I gather that we've had a change in artist?
Yes. Isn't it the artist who did Fray?
So in addition to the art sucking, we can expect a six month delay until the next issue?
Isn't it the artist who did Fray?
Yes, Karl Moline. His art was great in Fray. I don't know what happened.
