We’re Going To Have a GN Party Tonight

ICv2.com reports that a never-produced 1990s, Alex Cox-penned, sequel script to Repo Man, an amusing 1980s indy film that was scoured for meaning like the Talmud by Mid-western kids on their family's first VCR desperate for an entry point into west coast punk music, will now become a graphic novel. No word yet if there's a similar treatment out there for Walker.

Clumped together with news that DC/Wildstorm is moving ahead with a Veronica Mars comic, the recent Buffy and Dark Tower success stories and the ongoing value the Dark Horse comics have had to the Star Wars franchise, and it seems obvious we're sort of well into a period of perceived franchise-goosing value by comics that far-outstrips the actual ability of those comics to reach a wide audience. If I were a freshman at Comics University, the folks in my dorm would be sitting in the hallway late at night, talking in an noodly fashion about what all this means.
