I came across a few interesting things on the internet today, so I thought I might share them with whoever is reading this.

• Comic Book Resources put up an interview today with legendary artist Kevin O’ Neill. Kevin talks to CBR about the upcoming League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Series III, now published by Top Shelf. It’s a really great interview, and has some beautiful looking preview pages from the book. Kevin is one of my favourite artists, and I’ve been following his artwork since I first came across Nemesis the Warlock in the early 1980s. Ahh, my young mind was shaped by his disturbing artwork.

• Jock posted a page from his, and Jamie Delano’s, upcoming Hellblazer: Pandemonium today, and it looks astounding. I can’t wait for this one to come out.

  

• It seems that a remake of Total Recall is in the works. This can only end badly. Total recall was a really terrible adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s We Can Remember it for You Wholesale, but it was terrible in that charming 1980s way that we all know and love. It was an over the top sci-fi classic. The remake will likely be as unmemorable and boring as all the other PKD based movies that have come out in recent years. I tell you what though, I would love to adapt some PKD short stories into comic book form, anyone up for that????

• The Hollywood Reporter just put up their review of Watchman, and it is really, really scathing. Their reviews are usually very trustworthy, so take from that what you will

• My wife showed me some news yesterday about Spider-Man the Musical. The news was on Perez Hilton, so I sort of ignored it (yes, my wife reads Perez, grounds for divorce?). Anyway, the rumour was confirmed by Joe Quesada today on Twitter , who gave out a link to the official site. This sounds really stupid to me. It has music by Bono and The Edge. This indicates to me that the rest of U2 also thought this was too stupid. Damn, I hate U2, they just keep getting lamer, and now they are writing a Spider-Man musical score! I can hear it now:

  I want to run,
  I want to hide,
  I want to climb up the walls,
  Hang upside down,
  I want to reach out,
  And touch Mary Jane,
  Where the streets have no name.

  WEAK!
