More Frank Miller....

Post by IMJ »

Anyone else think that Ronin will be the next thing to pop by Miller?
I do, and I'll also gamble that we'll see swings in the prices of the books (ala Sin City and 300) if it goes down.

It is a pretty good Bronze Age series too.

Sounds good to me.

I'd love to see Give Me Liberty get a shot at the screen as well.

What about the chances of a Dark Knight Returns hitting the screen? They could try to set up a new trend. Instead of a direct sequel or a prequel, they could go for the end of a franchise and then fill in all the pieces in between.

Ronin is one of the few series I own in the original issues (not the TPB), and is ace (so that works out).

It's an awesome standalone series and I suspect has significance in wider comics history, standing, as it does thematically somewhere between FM's iconic DareDevil run and The Dark Knight Returns.

I'm quite drunk.

They are cheap as hell now too. Ridiculously so...
We should hoard them as a group and then filter them out to society when the movie comes out. We'd be kings....

I was at a show where they were giving copies of Ronin #1 away free at the door. I took a nice stack of them, but they still had a lot left. The real book to watch out for is Ronin #6, a lot tougher than the earlier issues.

Isn't that the title of the new Batman movie coming out? I doubt it has any of Miller's storyline in it, but it's got the name. DK was good, but I didnt care to much for DK2.
