Geeking out.

( Sep. 16th, 2007 07:02 am)
So I'm really liking what seems the trend of turning non-superhero comic books into movies. I mean, yeah, Road to Perdition wussed out and totally sucked in comparison to the graphic novel and 300 was bad (but in an awesome way) but I really did love what they did with Sin City. To me, with comics being so visual, it just seems like a natural progression to adapt them into movies. There's a lot of awesome untapped material out there just waiting.

Next up on the list of movie adaptations is Steve Niles' 30 Days of Night. I have to say that this makes the comic book nerd in me squeee. ( Cut for said squeee. )

I love comic books. I think they are the single most underrated literary form (at least in the United States). But I have completely given up on the superhero genre.

People ask me why I almost never read superhero comic books anymore. Here’s a shining example of why: I went to my local comic book store this weekend, to get my monthly fix of Y the Last Man, Fables, and The Waking Dead, when much to my dismay, I saw a huge Marvel promo poster with Jean Grey as dark phoenix on it… Apparently, in one of the multitude of x-books out there, they are yet again re-hashing the whole Dark Phoenix story line.
