“Most of the great graphic novels are gone, and ‘Youngblood’ is one of the few comicbooks left with tentpole potential,” Ratner told Daily Variety. “It was a real personal passion project for me, and a lot of people wanted (‘Youngblood’), but the amazing thing about the guys at Reliance is the speed with which they’re able to move.”
I would love someone (not Ratner) to try and bring Squadron Supreme to the big screen. It was a pretty awesome mini series.
And John, thanks for that link. I have never been a fan of Liefeld's work and they are spot on with every critique. Liefeld just doesn't understand how the human body is supposed to look.

Huh.
Gotta say though, given their resumes to date, Rattner and Liefeld are a natural fit. Not a good natural fit, but there it is.

Shockingly, real women, even real women with implants in multiple places, can't look like a Liefield drawing. Human women have human spines... |
