Stereo Comics   +  Preacher

Updates on those two stories...

...from Tuesday: the animated movie Paul Pope is working on is the comic book sections of THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY. I loved that novel, and I remember one breathtaking sequence where Chabon dizzyingly segues from his two protagonists brainstorming The Escapist's origin while walking down the streets of New York into a pulpy recounting of the tale itself, via a pan down through a blast of steam emerging from a grate, from the real world into the comicbook world. It was this sequence that initially convinced me that this book could be made into a great movie, if done right.

Oh, and Garth Ennis is pouring lots of cold water on the escalating rumours that PREACHER is set to become an HBO series. From a great height.
