shite, youre right. i forgot about that.

wow, HBO could totally tap into that vein and grab some grab stories. I would shy away from the mainstream stuff as thats better for movies and the CW.

id go more for the vertigo or wildstorm type things. Authority would be cool. id also like to see a more twisted version of the x-men.

Vertigo is awesome but the core set of DC comics just isnt that good. The only series that consistently delivers is batman. Swamp thing is good but its inconsistent. WW is over-rated. Flash just isn't interesting. JLA, meh.

I think that american vampire could be a great mini series/tv show. the characters are pretty compelling. Fables could be a great long running series, although it might be too expensive to do with all the creatures.

I haven't read much of the wildstorm stuff.
