Just grabbed another 5 copies before they demand and news cycles. Good series IMO.

[Hurtszick]

I'm now regretting not buying those cgc 9.8s for 40 bucks last week...

[IntoAnother]

So stoked I sold all mine already!

Southern B announcement + Scanner Nightmare + Stagnet sales thread =

[Grahf]

The regular cover there is already 100+ 9.8's with many more that could be 9.8's think the regular cover can only go so high, variants however..

Whatever happened to SCALPED and the TV show?

[Hurtszick]

SCALPED was picked up by WGN last year? I don't believe a time line from pick up to tv can be achieved under 2 years. Remember walking dead took 5 Years.

Bout time, I think this will translate well to TV.

I do too. It may fill that hole left by Sons of Anarchy going off the air.

The Strain?

[Point Five]

I hope the series is as edgy as the book, and doesn't tone down the ugly stuff. I could definitely see this working well.

Daredevil?

Remember how many copies of SB #1 has back cover spine grabber marks the day it was released? Not saying that 9.8s are rare, but harder to find than the average new issue

Talking about big budget production houses in Netflix + Marvel and FX - Don't get me wrong but I'm pretty sure 2 years min is not out of the norm for most programs.

The difference is the term "optioned". When some things are optioned they come with a writer and/or producer. Sometimes it takes a year to get those two on board. That's where the real difference comes into play.

Guillermo Del Torro turned his -script in for the Justice League Dark movie in Nov. last year and nothing has been announced since then.
