We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Netflix is looking to add to it’s rooster of original content. ICv2 is reporting that they have asked for a 10 episode season based on Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba’s, Dark Horse Comics, The Umbrella Academy. Universal Gable Productions has announced Steve Blackman as the executive producer and show runner and it is slated for a 2018 release.
If Two Brothers is anything like Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon’s Daytripper then it will be an outstanding read and work of art. Daytripper is one that I think is a most have of graphic novel collections and even though I haven’t seen it I strongly suggest that you take a look at it. These are not your action adventure yarns by any means Daytripper was a well thought out drama, which it sounds like Two Brothers will be as well. It is slated for an October release from Dark Horse.
