Oh great, Rupert Murdoch connections too. This looks like a total garbage fire....

I could be totally wrong, but the tone of the article was what tipped me off. Mentioning franchises and Netflix acquisition of Mark Miller's IP, it just seemed to have that kind of tone. I might be reading into it, but I think this is now often a consideration when designing new 'properties'.

This looks like yet another set up making comics with the express aim of selling them on as films or tv shows. I am starting to really dislike this model. It doesn't produce art, it produces the product deemed most 'saleable'. Hard pass on this publisher. Looks awful.

Wow, that's a bit of a bargain. It's what I've been telling everyone for years, best way to get these is second hand, they don't hold that much value anymore....

LOTR stuff is totally relevant. It's definitely a heavy influence. You should show her Star Wreck when you are done, she'd get a giggle out of that....

God, that cover design still hurts my eyes Enjoy getting it early Jan! I'll be going Kindle edition all the way.

I always find this topic a really difficult one. As Jan says, the story was told, JMS got his 5 year arc. He was initially adamant that B5's intention was to "get in, tell the story, get out", or some words to that effect. He openly admits in the Crusade WTHH books that venturing the way of...

What is it with the last few years?! Damn. Pop culture of the 90s is edging towards an early grave....

I respect the Google search on the Dan Simmons book! Loved the Hyperion cantos. Proper good space opera. L has excellent taste....
