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 haven't read Queen & Country either, but Ellen Page as a lady spy from a Greg Rucka comic sounds AMAZING.

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.)

I have the first volume of Q&C but haven't gotten around to reading it yet (partly because I'm worried I'm going to fall and love and immediately need to buy the rest and I can't afford the rest yet) but I love Greg Rucka! And Ellen Page! Even though Ellen looks nothing like Tara at least she's a good actress who will respect the role. And in an interview I read with Rucka he mentioned the Q&C movie has been in development hell for a while and he's had to tell them multiple times that no they can't change the lead into a male character so the fact that it's moving forward is happy making. From everything I know about it I think Tara is a lady we both can love.
