Veronica Mars: The Comic Book?

[paper]

From AICN:

“I had a meeting with DC Comics last Monday and they want to do (Season 4) as a comic series," “Veronica Mars” mastermind Rob Thomas tells The Toronto Star.

DC’s move may have been inspired by Dark Horse Comics’ new “Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season Eight” title, which has been burning up the sales charts.

Thomas also offers his take on why The CW passed on another season of “Mars.” "At the end of the day [CW programming chief] Dawn Ostroff doesn't get to make the final call,” Thomas tells the Star. “Hers is an important voice in the room. But they're the little sister company of CBS. There was a pretty strong feeling that [CBS CEO] Les Moonves didn't want to do the show." CBS and Time Warner co-own The CW.

Never seen the show, I hear that the main character is doing voice over for Assassin's Creed (one of my most looked foward to games)

May have been inspired?? Ha ha ha. You think?

[paper]

It'd totally work as a comic. I'd definitely pick it up.

[kahunablair]

I've heard nothing but great things about the show. I'll probably catch up sooner or later. It's my luck though that I finally getting around to watching a show after it gets cancelled! (Firefly anyone?)

The comic unfortunately won't have the best part about the show. Hint - it rhymes with Histine Well.

[paper]

This is true. But maybe we'll luck out and the artist will be a tracer. This is one case where photo-referencing won't bother me in the slightest...

that's one of the single hottest images that I've ever seen

[jimski]

Would you rather see Kristen Bell on Lost or on Heroes?

Because both of them sought her, but only one of them got her.

... God that picture is hot.

[esophagus]

Also, Kristen Bell was born to play Black Canary. This neeeeeeds to happen.

Edit: Excuse the size.

[conorkilpatrick]

Please don't be Heroes.

It's a few episodes of Heroes. She turned down Lost to do a play in NYC.

EDIT - Apparently that was just a rumor, it seems she turned down Lost beacuse she didn't want to leave LA and was friends with people on Heroes.

[esophagus]

It's a few episodes of Heroes. She turned down Lost to do a play in NYC.Daang. I don't wish heroes upon anyone. I just can't stand it.

[conorkilpatrick]

Daang. I don't wish heroes upon anyone. I just can't stand it.

If Bell had been in that Birds Of Prey show maybe I would have watched it. Bloody hell, she'd make a perfect Black Canary.

[esophagus]

If Bell had been in that Birds Of Prey show maybe I would have watched it. Bloody hell, she'd make a perfect Black Canary.The resemblance in that picture is ridiculous. I had to google around to make sure it hadn't come from her being cast as Dinah somewhere.

[paper]

I'd rather her be on Lost too. You're in the minority on Heroes, Esophagus, but you're also in good company, brotha. :D

Kristen Bell is astonishing. Even if she decided to take on a regular role on Two and Half Men, I'd become a devoted viewer.

I dug Heroes when it first started up. The premise was intriguing and I thought the show had a lot potential. As the show went on it got progressively worse. So much of the show felt rote and uninspired at the end. That many of the characters were so uninteresting I wanted Peter to blow them up isn't a compliment.

I was stoked when the show when it was announced. Then they filled the cast with everyone they could, added characters by the gallon, and left people enjoying the show up to superpowers, relying very little on writing, or plot.

[briangilmore]

Kristen Bell is my entire Top 10 list right now.

She's going to be on Heroes, so there is NO reason to pick up the comic if it comes out, unless written by someone worth reading.

I'm not picking it up unless it's great or is manga.

[briangilmore]

Manga Heroes. That would look great in the fire next to my Avril Lavigne manga.


Sorry, did I say manga? I meant hentai. It's late.

[scoobydiesel]

I dont come in here offten...but noticed veronica mars.

Man i will miss this show so much.
I will pick the comic up if i can find it and such.

As for being on heroes...Hope she does good the show left me going meh

[conorkilpatrick]

If nothing else, Heroes will be good exposure for Kristen Bell.

[paper]

That's certainly true.

I like to wonder what it would have been like if she had had the opportunity to play Buffy instead of Sarah Michelle Gellar. Not saying SMG was bad, but Kristen Bell is a little more...you'd root for her a little more.

She was on an episode of Deadwood, right? I gotta get on that.

Oh, and everybody should check out Reefer Madness The Movie Musical. She's great in that.

[conorkilpatrick]

She was on an episode of Deadwood, right? I gotta get on that.

Yes, she was in two episodes... uh, yeah... *makes uncomfortable face*

[paper]

Is she not good in it, or does something terrible happen to her?

[conorkilpatrick]

Is she not good in it, or does something terrible happen to her?

Everyone was great on Deadwood.

I've already said too much.

[paper]

Everyone on these boards has the power to shift the order of titles on my Netflix queue. The first three discs of Deadwood have been fast-tracked to my top 5.

[mister-s]

Oh, and she's from MI.

Just had this IM convo with my friend in California:

Danielle says: oh, i saw your lady kristen bell friday
Conor says: you did???
Danielle says: yep, she was stading right next to me
Danielle says: i was like "it's veronica mars!"
Danielle says: in my head of course
Conor says: where were you??? did you tell her i love her?
Danielle says: i was at a restaurant in the valley
Danielle says: i was so tempted to get her autograph for you
Danielle says: i was going to try and take a pic with my phone but i didn't want to look like a weirdo
Conor says: you should have told her "look, i've got a friend who loves you and he's awesome"
Danielle says: she was having lunch with the asian guy from heroes
Conor says: you're kidding!
Danielle: it was really sweet too cause he waited and made sure she got to her car safely
Danielle says: total gentleman
Conor says: wait, were you stalking them?
Danielle says: no, they were literally 5 feet away from me
Danielle says: so i sat and pretended to read my LA weekly
Conor says: sigh... again, you didn't hook me up?
Danielle says: i was going to text you but i didn't think you'd care
Conor says: WHAT?!?
Danielle says: and i didn't want to ask them for anything because they were out having a good time with each other
Conor says: no, i wouldn't have either
Danielle says: i should have tired to sneak a pic
Danielle says: or at least shown her a pic of you

[esophagus]

Danielle says: or at least shown her a pic of youYou need to give all of your friends multiple prints of you in a leopard print speedo. Everytime they see Kristen Bell they can give her one with your phone number on it.

[labor_days]

Danielle says: i was going to text you but i didn't think you'd careThe cruelest cut, man.

[paper]

Danielle is actually a double agent. She texted me.

There is one Kristen Bell, and two of us Conor. There can be only one Highlander.

[mister-s]

Nice Paper.

Dude. I'm also TERRIBLE. Usually I'll have a sex dream about a celebrity I have a crush on (she's my first legitimate celebrity crush since high school), but the other night, I had a RELATIONSHIP dream about her.

A ****ing RELATIONSHIP dream. What the HELL is wrong with me?!

Waking up SUCKED

Kristen Bell interview. (http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Exclusive-Kristen-Bell/800020731)

Highlights:

How many episodes are you committed for?
Bell: I think I'm doing 13 as of now.

Anything you can tell me about your character Elle that wasn't in the press release? (We know that Elle has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.'s past and Claire's future.)
Bell: I know a a lot. I think I know everything. But I think the only things that are allowed to be [out there] are what was in the press release. It's going to be a really, really fun character -- that much I can tell you.

There's buzz that you might be the show's new baddie since Zachary will be taking off to do Star Trek.
Bell: That is a possibility. It's going to be fun for me to see where she goes. I kind of hope so. It would be really nice to play the bad guy.

Do you have a power?
Bell: Yeah, I do. I have a really awesome power.

And to bring it back to the title of the thread:

Are you still, like me, mourning Veronica Mars?
Bell: I'm definitely still in mourning. I miss the character, I miss the people, I miss the consistency of that family. Lots of mass e-mails is how we're all dealing with it. We're all still in touch. Everyone is moving on up and doing great things, but we're all still communicating. I just had lunch with Dan Etheridge, who was sort of our physical producer [down in San Diego]. Everyone's really sad.

Rob Thomas told me he'd like to do a Veronica Mars feature film at some point. Any interest on your part?
Bell: Oh, absolutely. I'd do anything Rob asked me. I think we'd all love to work together again.

Have you spoken to Rob about it?
Bell: Not as far as locking down dates or anything, but before we left we were like, "OK, I guess our only option now to keep it alive is somebody's got to write feature!" We definitely all agreed that we would want to be involved in it.
