Sometimes rumblings can lead reality. And sometimes where there is smoke there is fire. That is what seems to be going on with V-Wars.
Originally, there was a post earlier today on the G+ comic book speculation and investment community about the possibility of a V-Wars movie. And then I came across a post on Bleeding Cool that substantiated the rumor a bit more.
The post was written by Rod of Rodman Comics, who went to the Diamond Retailers Summit in Las Vegas. While he was talking about a bunch of different publishers’ offerings, he let this bit slip.
The writer of V-Wars was available to sign the series. I had some signed for my customers to help get them into V-Wars hopefully. They brought up Bleeding Cool actually and asked that I hold off saying anything before they announce it. They also had a future presentation to do with more info to be announced. Good group.
In case you missed it, Bleeding Cool and Rod were asked not to say anything, but I was not, so the speculation does appear that V-Wars may have a movie coming.
V-Wars is an IDW comic based on a Novel by Jonathan Maberry. While many people would say it is an adaptation and does not hold any value, I would counter with “How is the Strain Comic working out with that?”
Might be time to quietly back up and grab a copy or two. There were two “regular” versions of the first issue of the comic:
V-Wars Regular Cover
V-Wars Subscription Variant
Copies of V-Wars #1 are going for below cover on eBay.
There were several Variants:
V-Wars #1 Retailer Incentive Cover
V-Wars #1 1:100 Human retailer Incentive
V-Wars #1 WonderCon Variant
There is also a #0 Issue from Free Comic Book Day:
V-Wars #0 FCBD
Midtown has some as well. They have 4 covers minus the wondercon variant.
I heard this was going to be a TV series. Either way its good news.
Also Disney is adapting Big Hero 6 into a movie. There’s a teaser already on the web and I guess a trailer out tomorrow.
I skimmed through it after reading some reviews of the comic and it’s just not for me. I haven’t read any good reviews of it yet. I picked up one on FBCD but have yet to skim it or read it.
CBR gave it like 1.5 out of 5 stars. IGN gave it like 6.8 out of 10. Comicvine gave it 3 out of 5 stars.
American Vampire Second Cycle is some good reading though if your into vampire reads, gotta read the first volume though to know what’s going on.
