One of my favorite comics, The Last Call (by the extremely talented Vasilis Lolos), is making the jump from page to screen:
Universal has bought the Oni Press graphic novel series “The Last Call” and set it up with Barry Josephson to produce through his eponymous banner.
“The Last Call,” written and illustrated by Vasilis Lolos, centers on two teens on a joyride who get hit by a train – an interdimensional soul carrier – and find themselves on a quest to solve a mystery that will allow them to return to their regular lives.
Congrats, (UPDATE: Harvey Award Nominee) Vasilis!
For the interested, there’s a 38 page preview of TLC #1 here , and if it’s your cup of tea, it can be yours with a bit of clicking:
Issue 2 is due out August 30th:
If you’re looking for me before then, I’ll be where I’ve been since #1 came out – on the edge of my seat.
UPDATE: a software bug is breaking urls with “&” in them. Until we get it fixed, here’s the url for the preview: http://www.onipress.com/preview.php?bid=268&pid=141

NICE call Dan—I just subscribed. Read book 1, loved it, and now will definitely get book 2.
As for the movie, a lot will depend on who they get to direct—this is one messed-up fascinating world that Lolos has created, and I’d hate to see it diluted and dumbed down by Hollywood.
Ah well, as I always say, the book will never change…sweet, lovely book…
I liked book 1 pretty well – I’m not quite as crazy about it as some.
I’ll get book 2, though.
The preview link didn’t work for me, but this one I found seems to work okay. http://www.onipress.com/preview.php?bid=268&pid=141
Yeah, sorry – there’s a bug in the software we’re using… it doesn’t seem to like ampersands in HREFs. Should be fixed soon.
