–More fun at the expense of the Best American Comics series: Laura Hudson gives the book to her mom to read.
–I Am Legend writer Mark Protosevich talks about his favorite comic (and current movie project), Thor:
“I loved Thor!” he says. “He was my favorite comic book character when I was growing up. When I moved out to L.A. I sold a pretty substantial comic book collection to finance the trip. But I kept all my old Thors.”
Protosevich promises that the movie version will deal with the elements that made Thor the god of thunder. “It’s going to be like a super hero origin story, but not one about a human gaining super powers, but of a god realizing his true potential. It’s the story of a Old Testament god who becomes a new Testament god.”
–Mark Hamill, who knows a thing or two about playing the Joker, is looking forward to Heath Ledger’s take on the character. “The balls-out debauched psycho approach seems like a great way of reinventing everyone’s favorite scary (and scar-y) clown,” he said. “Can’t wait to see it!”
