The Doom That Came to ELFQUEST.

Geektyrant is enthusiastic about this news: “Fox is producing an animated series adaptation of the epic fantasy adventure comic series Elfquest. The series is created by Wendy and Richard Pini, from Rodney Rothman and Adam Rosenberg’s Modern Magic. The series will be written by Susan Hurwitz Arneson (The Last Amazon) who will also serve as showrunner and executive producer.” I am… not.

I mean, don’t get me wrong. I hope the Pinis squeezed Fox until it screamed, so they can use the money to have an epic retirement. I am not confident that Fox will be able to do ELFQUEST. Shoot, the series started in 1978: I am thus not confident that Fox will be able to understand ELFQUEST. It was a whole different world, back then.

But maybe I’m wrong. I’m not, but maybe I am. It could happen.

The ELFQUEST: THE COMPLETE DARK HORSE COLLECTION Humble Bundle.

Elfquest. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Decades, in fact. I’m torn about getting it from Humble Bundle: I have no idea how well or badly that series has aged since then. Which is kind of unfair to Elfquest. A lot of what it did back then got repeated by new artists, sometimes ad nauseam. That ain’t the original’s fault.
