Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Robert Kirkman's new book Outcast picked up for Cinemax.
Well it was bound to happen, but I was guessing it would happen after the book came out. Robert Kirkman’s ‘Outcast’ or at least that is the working title with the Valiant lawsuit and all, has been picked up for a Tv show on Cinemax. This will put great demand on the book before it is even released.

More Marvel TV shows, in a way. looks like Disney is looking to bring original content based on Marvel characters to netflix. If the shows become popular enough they will be made into movies or TV shows. This could bring some real heat to some books. Especially the Jessica Jones books that were well written and had a popularity of their own for the longest time. Alias could see a resurgence in popularity, as could the follow up series The Pulse.
