I've always been a HUGE fan of the darker side of comic books (Sin City, 300, Preacher, etc...) so once Spiderman & X-Men did huge numbers at the box office, I started crossing my fingers that eventually some of my faves would find their way to the big screen as well. Sin City was obviously huge & in my opinion THE most perfect comic adaptation we've seen thus far. 300 looks like it could rival that. Frank Miller is the man. I hear they're gearing up for Sin City 2 as well which will cover everything they skipped in the first film. I can't wait!
And Preacher... Don't even get me started on Preacher. This is far and away THE BEST comic series I've ever read, but it's way too deep & complicated for a 2 hour movie, so I was delighted to hear they are gonna be doing this one the way they oughtta as well... As an HBO series. Perfect. They can make it as graphic as the comic books and each episode will equate to one issue of the story. That is pretty much the best case scenario for me as to how they could do this because initially I had heard it was heading to the big screen & that gave me pause. Now I'm fuckin' stoked.
