Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Paul Pope has long been one of my favorite creators, I know I have said that on here more times than I can count. With such epic self-published comics as THB, and his work for Vertigo and Dark Horse, and not to mention his highly kinetic art style, he has become a small press legend.
Finally, Hollywood is starting to notice. Word came out that his work One Trick Rip-Off is getting a movie deal. Continue reading “Paul Pope’s One Trick Rip Off to be adapted into a movie”

With the impending release of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (July 31), I had decided to pull out my copy of Marvel Presents Paramount Comics Mission: Impossible #1. The one-shot, released in May 1996 to coincide with the release of the Brian DePalma film, serves as your standard, 90’s movie tie-in.

I remember quite fondly when this issue came out and of the moment I found this at my local comic shop in Forest Hills, NY – Royal Collectibles.
