Co., Everett, WA Lines: 17 Now that I've seen the movie, I have problems with the idea of the BB comic by Marvel. Frankly, I doubt that the House of Ideas has the talent to bring something as well-written as this to a comic; unless they can find someone who can do detail and humor and atmosphere at the same time, they won't be able to do it justice; and they haven't got many who can do any of those these days. Besides, they'd have a problem with much of the raunchy humor of the movie, unless they release it through EPIC. "Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!" Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
