It’s that time again, boys and girls! Story time!

Since I’m swamped with work and shit, I’m making this quick. Frank Miller’s Ronin is going to be adapted into a motion picture and it’s not going ala-Snyder by doing a frame-by-frame adaptation! Huzzah! I was getting sick of those frame-by-frame adaptations anyway.

Anyway, from CBR:

“Ronin,” the graphic novel Miller created at DC after his legendary stint on Marvel’s “Daredevil,” tells the story of a masterless samurai reincarnated in the hard sci-fi world of a future New York City. Mixing manga influences, cyberpunk stylings, heady philosophical themes and Miller’s signature brand of rough-hewn art, the book has long been in development as a film. Once under the purview of director Darren Aronofsky, things picked up for a “Ronin” film after White became attached in 2007. And while the director wants to remain true to the original story, he said that a project like “Ronin” would only be hurt by attempting to film it panel-for-panel, as Miller adaptations like “Sin City” and “300″ were done.

Can I get a FUCK YEAR?

Anyway, the film will be directed by Sylvain White, director of the… dance film “Stomp The Yard“? Wait what?

Hey-yo! It’s Sunday you guys and as you all know it’s time for me to talk about comics that are over a few days old and most probably this review is of no use to you already. Yeah.

Also everyone else is MIA. Um, guys?

Ultimate Comics Avengers #2

I like where this story is heading. Okay, the fact that my favorite Marvel characters are acting like major dicks is still bugging me, but at the same time, it’s kind of growing on me already. (continue reading…)

Okay, so this is the first time I’ll ever do a review for Comicgasm. I spend two weeks here doing nothing but stall, copy Chris Sims, take comic book panels out of context, and make the occasional gay joke or two. It’s time I write something real here.

Okay this is my pull list for this week:

Justice League: Cry For Justice #2

Man, this is NOT a good book.

James Robinson has been one of my favorite writers. And who doesn’t love the way he turned Krypto into the awesome super pet sidekick he’s supposed to be? I was so excited for this book ever since it was announced.

The art is as always, gorgeous, and I’m waiting for the concept of a proactive superhero team to work, without it becoming too violent and X-treme (X-Force, no matter how awesome you’ve been, you remind me too much of the Liefeld!90′s). (continue reading…)
