Invincible Appreciation Thread

5 5

Universal did Mark Millar's Kick-As$... a Rated R comic book movie. Just thought I'd point that out.

 

I assume Kirkman would have enough of a say in the creation of the movie to make sure they didn't "Spawn" it up.

Ah-haaaaaaaaaaa.

That movie had a $30 million budget - that would be shoestring for Invincible, but maybe you could get the origin done with that, I don't know.

Most of what I've written had assumed at least something along the lines of Iron Man (1) - a $140M budget. Basically, a blockbuster summer movie, not a small budget flick.

It's been so long, they could easily do a Spawn movie again.

Fans remember it, but I doubt the general public would care.

badass, you wrote an invincible film? i wrote scripts for 2 of 3 invincible films awhile back. the first could've been done for under $100m, i would think. i made it 3/4 the way through the second -script, then started on my own thing. have been doing that since. i had a letter in issue #98 published where i mentioned it.

"From Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead".... that marketing tagline is worth at least 75 million.

Ha, no sorry I mean most of what I've written here in this thread concerning a potential movie is said within the context of a potential movie being a 'summer blockbuster' sort of film with a big budget.

I definitely think I could write an Invincible -script though, it'd be fun!

My NM+ #1 is up on ebay ending this weekend

man, had to defend the book today in the shop.

Do tell.

man, had to defend the book today in the shop.

How so?

Must have been the easiest debate ever.

Do tell.

Oh, same discussion as last month. Keep trying to justify the slower issues to unwilling ears.

I guess it's clear... those guys want stories that happen quickly and are immediately retconned.

They don't want any stories to be told once and kept that way.

You should keep them away from Invincible and other independents... for their own safety.

Marvel and DC continuous reboots --- for the "win"!

(Or... you could tell them there's a new Invincible that's a girl with a hood, and another Invincible that's a girl with a bandana. That seems to be working well.)

I read this book in trade - eagerly awaiting Volume 10 of the hardcover - and it reads great that way. So... tell them to trade wait if they don't like the monthly pace.

Well, I just sold some more runs of invisible internationally. So it still has some fans wanting to read and collect.

man, peeps at my shop buy stacks of books, every week. kid you not, two hands to hold the stacks of big 2 and indy . you'd think they'd have a greater appreciation for such a great book. the most intelligent conversation i had regarding the book and its direction was with the salesman, a homie. he keeps asking wheres the action and violence that the book is known for. to that question, i have no answer.

#119 was a lot of bread, not much meat

Panera started a business based on that premise.

I have a feeling the action is gonna start real soon. I'm guessing lots of blood and possibly death. Enjoy!
