In addition to the Russo Brothers’ announcement that they’ll be producing (and possibly directing) a movie adaptation of Battle of the Planets, the siblings have also acquired the rights to the mid-80s comic Grimjack. Don’t recognize the name? Allow us to acquaint you.

Based on the graphic novel from John Ostrander and Tim Truman, this would be the big-screen debut for the First Comics / IDW character, a troubled fighter who deals with Shakespearean levels of family drama. His adventures included arena combat as a youth, magic-wielding, battles against Hell and a complicated escape from Heaven, plus clones, gatorlizards, sentient robots and more. Gimme this movie now!

  1. He does appear in 3 pictures not panels in #9 he is named, his origin semi told, and the next issue is discussed by the writers in the last pages of the book after the story is over in #9.

    1. I would say that’s two pictures on two separate pages. is there another one I missed? he’s only in 6 pages of #10.

  2. Does that count as a 1st since it’s not in an actual story? I have 3 copies on hand of 9 but only 1 #10 left after shipping a #10 for $1.25 to a buyer yesterday. There’s was a full page picture/ad thing for Spawn in that Rust comic I believe I still have a set of and 3 bundles of those HOX&POX Free Samplers from this week with a few reveals in them that should still be available at your local store right now.
