Jan 06, 2016 19:26

I'm usually not posting too many fannish news in here, as there are many other places one can get them but this? This is BIG! It's HUGE! And something worth getting excited about ( Read more... )

Very cool! Doctor Who really got me into graphic novels, so this should be great given the collaboration. And you were right... binge watching 13 episodes per season was manageable, but 23 would make my eyeballs swim back into my head. ;)

I have recently bought the comics with the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Jack. Especially in issue number 1 they drew Jack/John really well.

Well, I hope you still continue with Arrow, just on a slower pace! It may take a bit longer but you will get there. It is enjoyable after all. And if something isn't, you can always use the fast forward button. Or ask me if you don't understand something.

A new interview with even more details and some more pics of the comic!

<3! im excited, thank you for sharing!
also, may i say, John's hustle is amazing?

dieastra January 6 2016, 21:30:11 UTC

You're very welcome! We knew this was coming, he has hinted before, but it's nice to see official and confirmed, and I hadn't realized how big it really was. I thought just one comic probably. Obviously they have worked on this for a while now ( ... )

kiarrith January 7 2016, 02:44:04 UTC

I've been out of the loop and thus its news [welcome!] to me ;)
that is definitely what I mean by hustle here--always getting things going, really good at coming up with new angles and projects and pushing them into fruition [or trying really hard anyhow].
ya, movie adaptations take forever, so not holding my breath on that one, though i enjoyed the books and think they could work really well on the large or small screen format.

Yeah, it's really sad that the JB community seems to be dead. Where has everyone been gone? Is the problem really that now that John is living in the US, the UK fans have no idea what he is doing? Apparently a lot think he has retired or something ( ... )

Uhhh, das hört sich ja gut an! Werd ich sicher auf die eine oder andere Art zum Lesen kriegen ;) Mich fasziniert ja Malcolm seit seinem ersten Auftritt in der Show, und von seinem Leben vor dem "Dark Archer" ist ja nicht allzu viel bekannt. Bin schon gespannt, was wir da so alles über Mr. Merlyn dazulernen...

dieastra January 6 2016, 22:27:16 UTC

Ich werde es mir nicht digital runterladen, aber das Comicbuch kaufe ich auf jeden Fall! Zur Zeit kaufe ich auch die Comics mit dem neunten Doctor, Rose und Jack. Der fünfte der ersten Staffel ist gerade rausgekommen, und es soll wohl eine zweite Staffel geben.

Ich hab ja überhaupt erst durch JB von "Arrow" erfahren, sonst hätte ich das ja nie im Leben geguckt! Malcolm Merlyn ist eine sehr interessante Persönlichkeit (hab ich dich eigentlich schon dazu verdonnert, all meine Fanfictions zu lesen? LOL) und es wird sehr interessant sein, mehr über ihn zu erfahren. Kein Wunder, dass John und Carole so aufgedreht waren! Hinweise gab es schon länger, dass sie sich mit Leuten von DC trafen und so, aber heute war es dann offiziell.

Es gibt ein weiteres Interview mit neuen Details und auch schon mehr Fotos vom Comic: http://www.mtv.com/news/2726533/john-barrowman-malcolm-merlyn-comic/

Mine has been pre-ordered since it became available to do it this morning. :)
So excited, I can't wait.

bloodsong13t January 8 2016, 00:18:35 UTC

where did you preorder it; cuz i can't find it!?!?

!!

(ps: hi! ;D )

bloodsong13t January 9 2016, 20:29:49 UTC

never mind, i found it! ;)

dieastra January 10 2016, 15:38:40 UTC

Did you pre-order the electronic version or the book version? I want to wait for the book version but it'll be June until I can read it :(

bloodsong13t January 8 2016, 00:19:43 UTC

i thought they said the comics were biweekly? once every 2 weeks??

ARGH!

i don't care! TAKE MY MONEY!

and it's going to be out before the fool show comes back! hahahah!

dieastra January 8 2016, 00:33:32 UTC

That is what biweekly means? I thought twice a week LOL Sorry, translation mistake.
So how long exactly do I have to wait till I can buy the finished comic? 12 parts every two weeks... no, that is too long! I'll kill myself before then. I want my Merlyn fix! And I want to know who he has sex with LOOOOOL This seemed to be very important to John in the interview, as he mentioned it twice.

bloodsong13t January 8 2016, 16:41:42 UTC

IS that what they said? biweekly? but yes, that means every 2 weeks :(

and what? you're not gonna read the digital versions first??

dieastra January 10 2016, 09:12:02 UTC

Yes, in the interview linked above, they say indeed bi-weekly. I must have read it too fast and only saw "weekly" and that's why I wrote "once a week".

So that will be a long wait for me. No, I won't bother with the electronical version - I don't want to pay twice for it? Feel free to spoiler me though if you do read it - especially about the "Pain is inevitable..." part.
