Watchman Director Bringing MAGE Comic to Big Screen

Watchmen producer Lloyd Levin has acquired the film rights to Matt Wagner’s epic comic book MAGE.

Watchmen producer Lloyd Levin is looking to give another epic comic book series the big-screen treatment. According to Variety, Levin has acquired the rights to Matt Wagner’s MAGE- a reinterpretation of the King Arthur story where the main character, Kevin Matchstick, is essentially a stand-in for Wagner himself.

The Mage series has two volumes released so far, each consisting of 15 issues. Levin plans on adapting the first volume, The Hero Discovered but there’s no mention of whether he also owns the rights to the subsequent volume The Hero Defined or the planned final volume The Hero Denied.

I love this series as much as you can love a series that is years upon years in the making. I am hopeful this all works-out and we get to see it on the big screen.  Are you excited to see the comic become a movie?

Dynamite Announces New Comic - H2O

Dynamite Entertainment announced a new comic book from writer Grant Calof (Hulk Unchained) and artist Jeevan J. Kang (John Woo's Seven Brothers, The Sadhu, Spider-Man: India) entitled, H20.

Set in the not too distant future… When a 100-year global drought devastates the Earth and a failed rainmaking experiment destroys the atmosphere, humankind teeters on the brink of collapse. As the remaining nations wage war over dwindling water supplies and natural resources, two rival scientists on opposite sides of the world discover a lost glacier high in the Andes-- setting off a deadly race to claim and control the planet's last known source of fresh water. The story focuses on Aaron Turner, a brilliant volcanologist with a secret past he'd like to keep hidden. Aaron's known for his radical, sometimes controversial theories and his intelligence is off the charts, but he's trapped in the shadow of his father's brilliance and failures - a burden that may finally lift if Aaron reaches the buried glacier first. But a terrible revelation awaits underground that threatens the very existence of their mission. Created by Liquid Comics and Eric Eisner's, "Epic Cycle" graphic novel imprint.

The book will become available in October, is 72 pages long, and will cost you $6.99.  The premise sounds fairly interesting and it's a one-shot so there is no long-term commitment, but I would wait for some reviews, prior to blowing nearly $7.00 on a book. Let us know what you think?
