    I swear, these stories always break when I’m least ready for them. From Variety this morning:



    Newly minted banner Vigilante Entertainment is launching operations by developing Warren Ellis’ comicbook series "Black Summer" with Ryne Pearson ("Knowing") tapped to adapt.


    "Summer," published by Avatar Press in 2007, centers on superhero team the Seven Guns, a group of scientist-adventurers who modified their own bodies for street-fighting in order to take back their West Coast city from a corrupt police force, criminal local government and rapacious private security forces.

    BLACK SUMMER remains available as a single graphic novel collection from better comics stores and, of course, Amazon.

    Well, of all the single TPB stories you've published, this is the one I like the most. And therefore the one I dread to see made as a film. Still, I'm always willing to be pleasantly surprised, but can anyone see an American film company starting a film where the president is killed by a member of the good guys?

    Congratulations (again), Warren! Seems Hollywood loves you now, that needy bitch.

    Warren, I really hope this means you will be able to afford that Scrooge McDuck-style money pool you have always wanted. Congratulations

    Wow. If it actually goes ahead are you going to be touching the screenplay or is it all going to this Pearson fellow?

    Congratulations!

    Excellent!

    I wait for this with baited breath, as long as someone doesn't try to dumb it down.

    Hey Warren, lend us a tenner eh? Nice one.

    Congratulations, sir. With all the Hollywood work, perhaps you should consider writing an Oscar speech now and save yourself some time later.

    Congrats! :)

    I'm disappointed they didn't use the above cover on the Variety site, but not surprised.

    Good luck, Warren and congrats. That probably means even less time for comics, I imagine.

    All Right! Good things for you. Congrats.

    "Black Summer", starring Eddie Murphy and Marlon Wayans.

    "Once upon a time in South Central L.A. ... This Summer is about to get Black!"
