I'm thinking more along the lines of a kidnapping and Logan is on their trail.<BR/><BR/>And I wanted Alphona (who kicked all kinds of @$$€$ on Runaways) for Uncanny, not for Wolverine (see the respective posting), sorry for the misunderstanding. For Wolverine, I'll go with Mike Perkins (Captain America fill-in issues).Michael Heidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681828051904902975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883858311254879320.post-26708860175816136392007-05-15T17:08:00.000-07:002007-05-15T17:08:00.000-07:00Haven't gotten to the X-Men pitch yet. (Sorry, bus...Haven't gotten to the X-Men pitch yet. (Sorry, busy day.) <BR/><BR/>I like where you're thinking on going with <I>Wolverine</I>, both with the style/tone and the creators to pull it off. Worth a shot to talk to Johnson, if Brubaker's unavailable. I think we can afford a bit of "cross-media name-gamble" on a bigger seller like this. I'm not terribly familiar with Alphona's work, but if you think he could pull off a noir book without looking like he's aping <I>Sin City</I>, that's fine with me.<BR/><BR/>I agree, though, that you'll need to come up with some story logic to get Logan jetting around. Maybe a quest/crusade type of thing, like the Indiana Jones movies?Sean Kleefeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492399469370737192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883858311254879320.post-36888593579592041052007-05-15T14:10:00.000-07:002007-05-15T14:10:00.000-07:00I doubt it. I'm currently trying to find a way to ...I doubt it. I'm currently trying to find a way to let Wolverine jet around the world (Japan, Madripoor, Genosha, etc) that meshes with the Charles Bukowski characterization I have in mind for Wolverine. But I guess Brubaker (who it's probably going to be instead of Johnson) can wrap it all in one nice storyline. That can't be done with done-in-ones.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I have an even better idea for the Uncanny X-Men art. Adrian Alphona (Runaways). He's a brilliant artist and the next big thing. I'm pretty sure Marvel should lock him on a big series before he gets the offer to do a Cliffhanger title or something at Wildstorm or Image.Michael Heidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681828051904902975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883858311254879320.post-20389330652934594862007-05-15T13:02:00.000-07:002007-05-15T13:02:00.000-07:00Noirverine.

Sniktiky-sniktin' cool.<BR/><BR/>I'm also a big time fan of Brick, though I'd warn you that trusting such a high profile title to a guy who's never written a comic book before (let alone a moderately budgeted movie) might be a bit of a gamble, though it's one that could really pay off, as evidenced by Brick.<BR/><BR/>So would this be a series of done in ones like Paul Dini's Detective?Philip Schaefferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953020455813574163noreply@blogger.com
