How the West Was Warped
So, along with the new C&A trailer, Twostripe spotted the trailer for The Warriors Way, which is, of all things, a ninja western. For all you twitter writers who can't seem to get your head around cowboys in space, is Old West + ninjas any easier? (Also, Spacewesterns.com has a list of all the space westerns that have gone before. Nevermind the fact that you missed Firefly or Serenity or even Cowboy Beebop. Cowboys + space = awesome.)
I think this just goes to show that the western is now the cross-genre component of choice for Hollywood.

For folks who are interested in reading the original Cowboys and Aliens before the movie comes out, you can still read the original C&A comic for free at Drunk Duck. Cowboys and Aliens II is also still up, in all its half-finished glory, for your reading pleasure.
