Okay. Blackest Night. What a ride.

So I just finished reading Blackest Night 8, and what can I say? It’s fucking awesome. It has all these moments that both made me geekgasm and cringe. Dialogue is still typical Geoff Johns: cliche-riddled but somehow it works. But in the end it’s so fucking awesome I totally forgot about the book’s flaws and I just sat and took it all in.

Okay then. Now on to the SPOILER-FILLED PART OF THE REVIEW (don’t read any further if you haven’t read BN #8): (continue reading…)

Hi guys. This is Ade here, reporting for Comicgasm. We just want you guys to know that we’re alive and all despite Ondoy, even after a few white-knuckle hours because our intrepid writer Fiel went MIA (he’s ok, FYI).

Anyway. I’m reporting that I survived Ondoy unscathed, with no property damage whatsoever. However, I can’t say the same for some of our countrymen.

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?
