Well hopefully it works out for all involved. I'd definitely watch it.
Why aren't you reading Winter Soldier? You should be!

Last year this time, you could buy the first issue really cheap. I bought a couple after hearing a TV deal had been done. While I don't expect to see it go up like Walking Dead, I did see today that the couple of first issues on Ebay were already rising in price and way out of what I paid for any.
Today, I make no demands... no threats! But, one day, I shall voice demands -- and all shall obey them!

sounds neat, but I've been wary of nbcs shows of late.
they ran heroes into the ground.
they had that wierd alien show that went no where.
and the less said about revolution, the better.
here's to hopefully good storytelling and and awesome ride. :)click here for some characters to use in rumbles

The Sixth Gun is great and its creators deserve the added spotlight of developing the book into a show. BUT...NBC has been canceling shows left and right and executives have said they want more broad and less niche shows. What is more niche than a supernatural western based on a comic book? I hope it makes it to series and works out for all involved.

When people who don’t read comics ask me what they should dip their toe into I have a list of about 30 titles for them, depending on their genre preference. Sixth Gun is high on my list and, I’ve always thought, naturally cinematic.
But many years of bad experiences has taught me it’s never worth keeping my fingers crossed for TV/movie adaptations - the odds against it even being halfway watchable are astronomical. Seriously - does anyone need two hands to count decent comic book adaptations? I may hope for good but I expect BAD!

Yes, but it has certainly kicked into overdrive the past 10 - 20 years. Originally Posted by Sighphi
