Phew...for a minute there, I thought Hollywood was remaking the John Woo movie.

I thought so too Ed

Naw, this Hard Boiled was a very cool, very detailed series of three high quality books (oversize, awesome color). Darrow is a Heavy Metal magazine artist, and his illustrations are extremely detailed and often two-page spreads. He will pack hundreds of people, buildings, expended ammo shells - you name it - into every page. It took a long time for these books to come out because of his artistic style.
That being said, the story was merely ok. The art is the reason to own these books. You can look at them a hundred times and still see something different each time you look.
This comic had NOTHING to do with John Woo.
I have no idea how they would pull the look off, what with all the detail. Anyone who has seen this comic will agree. Best of luck to them on this one! I dunno...

Same here Ed I was like WTF? he woulda f-ed it up

Yup, which director "baby-sat" Frank for The Spirit?
