Alan Moore’s ‘Fashion Beast’: Comic Vs. Screenplay
Alan Moore originally wrote Fashion Beast as a screenplay back in his 80s hayday at the same time he was writing a little book called “Watchmen”. Now, Avatar is publishing a comic adaption of Moore’s “Fashion Beast”, the first issue of which will be in shops this week. The screenplay has been adapted by Antony Johnston and Facundo Percio, with Moore’s involvement throughout. Turns out the comic is pretty spot on adaptation. Below you can check the first page of the screenplay alongside the first few pages of the comic. All credit for this goes to Bleeding Cool, and I thank them wholeheartedly for sharing it with us.
Well, it’s finally happening. It was only a matter of time before Disney-owned Marvel characters and the Disney-owned Xenomorphs came together for an epic mashup, and Entertainment Weekly has announced this morning that Aliens vs. Avengers is coming soon!
The upcoming series from Marvel Comics comes courtesy of writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic, and Entertainment Weekly has shared cover art and details today.
Here’s the official synopsis from Marvel Comics…
“It’s all led to this: Xenomorphs reach Earth! The perfect organism meets a planet of superhumans. Who will be first to fall?”
“I’ve never worked on a licensed or ‘non-superhero’ property the entire time I’ve been at Marvel, so when all of this came together almost two years ago, I kind of jumped at the opportunity,” Jonathan Hickman tells EW. “I love the Aliens universe and the mythology, and obviously just how atmospherically and well-designed everything is has always gotten my creative juices flowing. It was tricky finding a way to make these two things work together, but I think Esad and I landed on something that works for fans of both franchises.”
“Probably one of the coolest things about the project is how we’ve found really fun ways to ‘Avengerize’ Aliens and ‘alien-up’ Avengers,” Hickman continues. “I think fans will be surprised at how elegantly some of those things fit together. It really turned out to be a chocolate-and-peanut-butter situation.”
Aliens vs. Avengers #1 will be hitting comic book shelves on July 24, 2024.
Check out the issue’s official cover art below, which features Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Captain America… and a Xenomorph! Note the clever twist on the iconic Weyland-Yutani logo…
