Ive read V a while back and yes its a great Story.. If you like the That i recommend Watchmen, by Alan Moore. The same man who wrote V. Pretty much you cant lost with Moore, all his stuff is top Notch.

There are a number of albums taken from the monthly Elric comics done by Pacific Comics and First Comics as well, of course, as the current Elric:The Making of a Sorcerer, which is appearing from DC. First also did a superb Corum series by Mike Mignola (currently famous for Hellboy) and I did an original EC story with Howard Chaykin for Heavy Metal called Swords of Heaven, Flowers of Hell. There's also two very good Hawkmoon comics, one done by Jim Cawthorn for Savoy and one done by First Comics. The first ever Stormbringer was Jim Cawthorn's definitive version done for Savoy. Check out the Savoy website for details.
AudioRealms currently have a very good audio version, on five CDs, of Elric of Melnibone and are currently preparing the second Elric book for CD. These are available through Amazon and can be ordered through bookstores and, presumably, record stores.

Wachowski brothers? Oh jeeeez :(

I hope they do it justice - The two matrix sequals were shockingly awful IMHO. I also seem to be one of the few people on the planet who didn't think that much of the first one.

Anyway, here's hoping they pull it off and produce a stunning film :)

[Michael Moorcock]

I'm with you, pard. My main feeling about the first movie was a sense of irritation.

i think i would rather they did not make a movie of it at all i bet they will ruin it by giveing v a identy which is kind of missing the point of it i think some books should be left as books

As far as what Ive heard, Alan Moore doesnt want anything to do with Movies based on his comics. I cant say i blame him though, considering how badly hollywood butchers great comics and books. I Enjoyed From Hell and LXG, but theyre a Farcry from what the Comics were like.

[Michael Moorcock]

Alan and I are in some agreement about this. It can be very depressing and frustrating to watch bad movies made from one's work. I found this with The Final Programme, for instance. You're used to controlling your own narratives and when the narrative goes out of your control it feels very odd indeed -- you almost feel sick. I think he shows considerable common sense in his attitude.

So youre not gonna let us down with Elric right???
