Hmm. I mean, I love westerns in all forms really, but Cowboys vs. Aliens? Not sure about that. I'm sure it's a decent piece of work, and based on your review I may eventually read it. But when I read the title, it just reminds me of Zombies vs. Robots vs. Amazons, which had to be the worst idea ever. I didn't read any of the issues, but the title alone was enough to keep me from even trying it. http://www.amazon.com/Zombies-…..1600101631
I do appreciate you taking the time to review such a book as this. I just can't take it seriously, you know?
Then again, most of my reading is about various men and women in tights sometimes fighting aliens, so I'm contradicting myself here. :)
I definitely would pay $4.99 for this novelty of a book, but $50? No can do.

haha don't get me started on how sick I am of zombies.
I think I felt exactly how you feel (and this book is closer to your thoughts. it's ok, but it's just not great. Kind of a punchline and then they filled it out with a standard action movie plot.)
But the trailer actually looks like it has some potential. I mean, why shouldn't aliens have come down to earth while we were in the 1800s? It makes as much sense as any other alien invasion movie, haha

Yes, I did! Long time ago, though I still listen to the amazing soundtrack from time to time.
One of the few anime shows I really remember fondly.

I LOVE cowboy bebop because of the fond memories haha.
I remember one line when one of the cats got killed in some spaceship fight: "Omg they killed kenny"
"you bastards!"
And that late night marathon at Umass.
Thanks for the review Ian – I'll prob pass on this comic and just go straight to the theaters – Yay for Harrison Ford!!

Interesting link over at Bleeding Cool:

Apparently my hunch based on the content and packaging (Creator bio) was correct: this was entirely an attempt to get a movie made right from the start.
The only real surprise here is that the comic is kind of enjoyable.

I've always wondered about this book, and my curiosity only grew when the trailer came out (which looks surprisingly good, in my opinion). That's hilarious about the comic's origins, though. Now I'm really tempted to come up with a plot summary for a fake comic book and see if I can get someone to make it into a movie!

hey, it could happen.
The movie looks really fun. I saw an interview recently that had them confirming my take on it – they originally had Robert Downey Jr. cast in Craig's roll, but realized that the movie would be a lot more enjoyable if they played it straight and let any comedy come from the natural clashing of the genres and cast. So casting Craig was a really good move there.

I've been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, but I never found any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the net can be a lot more helpful than ever before.
