The Crow films

[mecha-gino]

@ Watara: sorry, but... Doubted and denied ever mistah butthurt since that time in Mexico. *sniffle sniffle* Sides, hellboy is more awesome then spawn. And what I was referring to with transformers is that before they weren't as popular as they were in the past but now EVERYONE knows who they are now.

@ Alienhulk: yeah... I would say thanks for spoiling that ya douche, but I already knew that.

@ Everyone else: discuss Hulk and everything in the marvel topic.

Sorry mecha-gino, I guess I should used spoilers. I didn't really think of it since what I said happened like earlier this year and being the comic fan you were, well, yeah.

Spawn is a shadow of what he used to be. The main series is lucky to make it above the top 100 comics, and most sales come from the trade paperbacks/hardcovers, plus the McFarlane toys/figures. At least the Hellboy franchise has some of the best performing trade paperbacks in the business, which says a lot. Spawn's heyday was back in the 90's. Invincible rules Image now; he may not sell that much, but at least that book is consistently in the top 200 comics, more than can be said of Spawn lately.

I wish they keep the series alone since their was no point for sequels or a remake of this series.

S Spawn's heyday was back in the 90's. Invincible rules Image now; he may not sell that much, but at least that book is consistently in the top 200 comics, more than can be said of Spawn lately.

I thought Haunt was Image's main comic now? Well Spawn was pretty huge back in the 90's, and early 2000's. I feel like Spawn went down hill after David Hine's comic run. Endgame is pretty dull seeing how awful the secondary cast has been. I think we are going a bit off topic now .

Please... Let's focus on the crow. If you want to talk about image and how it's invincible beig the big wig not haunt, then go into the image comics topic

[The_Olden_Thing]

I'll stop here, but first...

I thought Haunt was Image's main comic now?

Haunt's been inconsistent. Impressive debut aside (50k issues sold, putting it at #29), sales have been diving down (was below the top 100 last time it cracked the top 300, back in March). Invincible, though selling less initially, has more consistent and steady sales and presence, and has begun outselling Haunt (was above the top 100 in March).

Youre the one who said Crow is probably the most popular Indy character. Show me a link to a respected comic resource saying he is, or youre just posting an opinion, which can be debated.

Let's be honest. The Crow - sorta dead. The occassional 1-shot might come out or some reprint but the series and character are probably lost to the comic book discount bins like Ash and Savage Dragon.

The TV series....same plot. Little girl gets in trouble, or little girls' friend gets in trouble, Eric drives in, finds some bad stuff, goes Crow, kicks everyones ass. All along the way, Shelly is teasing him or giving him hints how to solve the case all Zordon style.

[mecha-gino]

So fans of the film, want to read the comics which I'm going to assume is out of print?

Well good news for you... kind of. IDW has gained the rights to the crow and they'll be producing a new series as well as re-releasing all of the crow comics.

Yays, I guess. Though I do believe I saw the first crow book at Barnes and Noble for a good price.

[wataru]

Necro posting AND the wrong forum AND wrong thread?

Three fails in one?

(BTW Crow Novels > Crow comics)

[Stuckey]

mecha-gino, I dunno if that'd be considered necro-posting or what...so whatever.
wataru, quit trying to flamebait mecha-gino so much or you'll get in trouble.

[mecha-gino]

Well this is pretty neat, for those who have a netflix account and never watched the movies all 4 films and the television series is now on Netflix's instant watch. I myself will check out the television series to see how it is.

[wataru]

The Crow TV series is horrible. BUT! Iron Chef America's Chairman is The Crow. But it totally spits in the face of canon of the first film Since the first film has a cult following and is Brandon's last work, it's disrespectful to me.

[mecha-gino]

Since King Caesar is like Steven Blum with voice acting, lazy I'm bumping this but with somethings to add to this. Just kidding on the joke KC.

So there's a different cut of the first film and the second I wasn't really aware of before. Why aren't these on DVD/Blu Ray? Like there's a clip on YouTube involving the skeleton cowboy from the comic who reminds me of a Kamen rider. Also I read in one cut, Draven kills the last guy who wronged him and his bride to be and loses his power just before going after the crime boss.

I can't remember what is different with the city of angels director's cut other then we see a crow image on the yellow ranger's body and the ending being different.

Would really love to see different cuts of those Miramax.

And now onto some cool news: IDW is going to put out a Crow on-going, so yay for more content but we're probably going to see like the fifth version of the original the crow series. But this could lead into various other crow comics making it into print again and I'm for that, ESPCIALLY the one involving the female crow.
