Queen & Country

Ellen Page to star in Queen & Country movie.

I am super excited about this. I have yet to read Queen & Country (although it's been on my to-read list for years) because the library either doesn't have this and/or doesn't list these comics in a way that allows me to figure out the reading order.

That said, lady spies! Ruthless lady spies! Greg Rucka! Ellen Page! These are all things that I like!

I'm happy this is finally getting made. (And for the love of God, can it please be a more faithful adaption than Whiteout?) Page is between five and ten years younger than I'd pictured Tara, but--acting. She'll make it work.

So, FOX announced tonight (in no way hoping to upstage Agents of SHIELD) that they're developing a Jim Gordon TV series, which I am meh about, but if it incorporates any of Gotham Central? I will be over. the. moon.

To return to Q&C, you can pick up the first omnibus for $20 or less, so give it a try. It's not my faaavorite of Rucka's work, but, as you say, lady spies! Just be warned that you're supposed to pause in the middle of third omnibus to read a (non-graphic) novel. Then there are two other Tara Chase novels after the comic ends. (The fourth omnibus is backstory for characters other than Tara, so it's skippable in my book.)

Ugh, another series based around an older white dude? Yipee. Instead of the show I would commit blood sacrifice to see, which is the tv show based on the Robins.

.....That said Gotham Central would make a great tv show, especially if they but Renee Montoya front and center and non white-washed and not straight.

...except I just read a post saying that it was going to be set pre-Batman, which, why? Everything interesting and new was about regular cops working under the shadow of Batman.

Okay, noted.
