Lean in close. No, closer.
To Get Her is a comic for people who like comics rife with detail and nuance. Set in Montreal, To Get Her chronicles the oft-fought battles of a ten year relationship, and the emotional casualties inflicted on both sides. In this corner, Gordon Kirby, highly sympathetic cartoonist that quits a paying job washing dishes to return to his art. In this corner, we have Janet Ditko (yeah, Kirby and Ditko, I enjoyed that too) the long suffering breadwinner of the couple who longs for a more rewarding existence.
There is also a dog.
More than anything I am struck by the skill with which To Get Her conveys emotion visually. The essence of experience is pumped in to each panel, each line. There are a hundred little details and aesthetic tricks that...

Watchman/ film producer Llyod Levin has acquired the rights to a lesser known older lesser-known 1980's comic book called Mage. This is a fifteen book collection that makes up a story arc called The Hero Discovered.
The story is a reinterpretation of the legend of Camelot, and centers on Kevin Matchstick, an alienated young man who discovers he has superhuman abilities, gains a magic baseball bat and defeats the nefarious plans of a being called the Umbra Sprite.
Levin went on to tell Variety the following...
It has always been a favorite book of mine. It's one of the great untapped comicbooks from the '80s renaissance that also spawned "Watchmen" and "Batman: Dark Knight."
Levin will finance the development of the film production, which was previously set up at Spyglass Entertainment with Zack Snyder attached to direct. He ended up before taking it to a different studio partner for distribution.
