Marvel Character Live Action TV Projects in Development
Alter Ego, Blade, Skrull Kill Krew


a while ago I remember reading at Morrison's site about a treatment of THE KULT for Don Murphy in 2000, but that was it then. that was a fun mini-series and it would be cool if the authors were compensated in case it gets made...

Well, it's not actually that good of a comic (despite possessing Brendan McCarthy character designs,) but I could imagine it'd mebbe make for a decent series or two of hi-octane, bleak humour telly.

Isn't it one of Morrison's joke series? Like the Doom Force one-off and Seaguy?

'Joke' as reading: funny? Comedy?

SKK was a humor(ous) series, to be sure, in some very subtle ways, at times, which most likely flew over the head of much of the people buying it at the time.

It was also flat-out serious, in other ways. Captain America was so pure, so boiled down to essentials, he was like anti-parody, which made him amusing, but not necessarily mocked.

Our darkening white supremacist with his hammer... well, y'know?

Being goofy or amusing does not make something a 'joke' necessarily. Nor, does it invalidate. Not anymore than being witty invalidates something's impact or significance.

This sounds like a bad idea. My favorite stuff from that series was the blatent way characters would make references to the Marvel Universe (stuff like "You know? Captain America? Living legend of World War II? Or is it all mutants with you kids these days?") and I'm assuming that will be jetisoned since Marvel usually divorces each project from the rest of the Marvel Universe.

well, maybe there's a slight chance it comes across as the lovechild of INVADERS and THEY LIVE...
