as for graphic novels being adapted soon, Y the Last Man seems on the fast track. Neil Gaiman is apparently well on the way to getting his adaptation of his own Death: The High Cost of Living made. Hellboy sequel coming soon, and i'm so psyched about that! and of course the long awaited (and in some circles slightly dreaded) adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen, which i'm hoping will be good. oh, and The Dark Knight which looks excellent. i think those are the only ones in development that i'm really looking forward to right now. oh, and Brian Michael Bendis' Jinx is supposedly still coming out at some point with Charlize Theron as the title character...and Mark Millar's Wanted, though some of what i've heard makes a bit hesitant towards it. we'll see. Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's We3 has been optioned by New Line, i believe...but i think they're still drafting a screenplay.
