Wanted

Saw this trailer for it on TV over the week­end. Looks inter­est­ing. I read Vince’s copy of the comic, and it was awe­some. I hope they can keep all the DC ref­er­ences, but I doubt it… the full story didn’t seem like it would fit well into a two-hour movie. For once I’d like to see a comic book movie actu­ally fol­low canon. And the whole “you can’t fit it all” argu­ment is bull­shit. As if stu­dios don’t plan on turn­ing it into a fran­chise any­way. I’m really happy that George R. R. Mar­tin decided to turn A Song of Ice and Fire into an HBO series instead of a movie, and I think that could be applied very well to comic fran­chises, too.

But any­way, that’s quite a tan­gent. Get­ting back on the sub­ject of comics, I just saw Side­kick, which is basi­cally the anti-thesis of Wanted. It was a good story, and the low-budgetness kinda added to the charm and “nor­malcy.” You should check it out.

You should also check out Heavy Ink, it’s a web­site that offers social net­work­ing for comic book geeks, and also sells every comic you can think of.
