Let's start things off with a shameless plug for my friend Angry Dan. Nothingface is a new graphic novel from digital webbing. Digital Webbing is a good outlet for up can coming artists who are interested in getting into the comic business.
From what I gather it's about a guy named Jon Novak, who can morph himself into whomever he comes into contact with. But there are three catches: One, it hurts him, two, he may absorb more then just the appearance of his template through the transformation, and three… if he isn’t morphed into someone then he looks like a jack-o-lantern.
You can read a review of it here.
V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate future in which Germany wins WWII and Britain becomes a fascist state. A vigilante named "V" stalks the streets of London trying to free England of its ideological chains. This is probably one of Alan Moore's more popular graphic novels.
The Wachowski brothers and Joel Silver are bringing Alan Moore's V for Vendetta to the big screen. James McTeigue (First time director) will be at the helm. Natalie Portman has been signed on to star in the flim as a woman who formerly worked for the secret police but decides to help "V".
I hope they don't f*ck this one up. It's usually hit or miss when Hollywood trys to adapt Moore's work. From Hell was good but LXG was just awful. If Joel Silver is apart of this, you can bet your arse that sjit will be blowing up left and right.
The Wachowskis wrote the screenplay so that might not be bad but then again these guys need a hit as bad as Ricky Martin. There are still people out there who haven't forgiven them for last two Matrix movies.
Good luck guys maybe you can make it up to us and not screw the pooch on this one okay?

I hear Dan Schmidt is the hottest new comic book artist on the planet. I'm looking forward to his work.
