I'm hoping that because it's King, they'll be able to get a top-notch artist and a guy like Peter David or Aguirre-Sacasa to adapt the story.<BR/><BR/>And Aguiree-Sacasa shows us that even if you don't mess with the text, it still takes a skilled writer to plot and pace something from a meaty work that's going to be chopped up and trimmed to fit a smaller format. I think he's doing an excellent job so far.Rob Rosenblatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984425313806660587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834287667748609989.post-42226909200303945942008-10-22T01:27:00.000-05:002008-10-22T01:27:00.000-05:00Totally agree with you on Deadpool--WOW.I saw the ...Totally agree with you on Deadpool--WOW.<BR/><BR/>I saw the Ender's Game issue, but was wary about picking it up--I love the book, and (besides King) have been burned by comic adaptations almost unanimously...but I'm thinking I'll pick up the issue this week.<BR/><BR/>I'm really pleased with Marvel Zombies--I loved the first arc, the crossover with Army of Darkness, but the second arc was pretty weak sauce (well, it was ok, just kind of...blah). I was wary about this third arc, but am definitely hooked! <BR/><BR/>RE: The Stand 2:<I>Some of the casting choices never sat right with me.</I><BR/><BR/>No kidding. Molly Ringwald!?!??!?! Oh lord, her Frannie drives me nuts. Maybe in her good years, but by the miniseries...well, it's bad news. The writer, Aguirre-Sacasa, frequents my local store--according to one of the guys that works there, he says that he is determined NOT to mess with the text at all. It's perfection as is--and that's pretty relieving. <BR/><BR/>I just read about King switching over to Del Ray for The Talisman...I'm not really psyched about this. Del Ray's adaptations are...well...lacking, in my opinion. The art is subpar, the writing is lifted from the text but lifeless. I dunno. I love The Talisman, but I'm wary.Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138984974139025278noreply@blogger.com
