He's the only English-language comic book author I care about... Y the Last Man is an absolute masterwork.
I did not keep up with Ex Machina but enjoyed what I remember.. it's been a very long time since I read any of it though. Very interested in this especially if Legendary are producing -- they won't hold back on budget.
Damn this was good.
Hey, Ex machina is brilliant and Alex Garland is great.
Technically speaking he's ex-Ex Machina and on to the next Ex Machina.
I really don't know how you do this in a way that doesn't feel really really saccharine and awful.
In the first issue it is revealed he BIG SPOILER
at the time it was kind of cathartic and interesting.
I am not sure how it plays now

Stopped the second plane from hitting the second tower on 9/11

Title confusion aside, he's a magnificent choice for the role.
That was a hell of a cool comic book.

The same way any alternate reality/superhero story plays? No one batted an eye when the Xmen were involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis in First Class, or when it was implied Magneto curved the bullet that killed Kennedy in DOFP
I would say those are distant enough to resonate less or to cause less of a stir
Also,
thousands of Americans did not die during the Cuban missile crisis
I don't think it's comparable.
9/11 was almost 20 years ago. There are adults now that were born after it. Not to mention even shows that had similar imagery (Cowboy Bebop for instance had an episode that was pulled from air for having terrorists attack a skyscraper) have long since been airing again
First I thought this was a Terrible LTTP bump..
Then when I saw this thread is from Today I GOT EXCITED because I thought It might be for a sequel announcement.
*sigh* good one OP.
am I'm proud to say I bought the 4K HDR Version of the movie as soon as it released.

OP clearly says Brian K. Vaughan's Ex Machina (which pre-dated Alex Garland's by a decade). They couldn't have done anything differently.
Great comic, but needs to be a TV show. Movie would have to be a pretty loose as fuck adaptation
Dayum. But agreed.
I feel like HBO could do a killer job with Saga. I will admit that I've found that it's been a bit underwhelming as of late.. it felt to me like it was dragging along a bit although obviously there was a huge plot development at the end of the recent book. Anxious for the hiatus to end though to see what happens next.
It's going to be a non-issue, the most you'll see is a couple open-ended worthless articles from vox and a couple others sites and that'll be that
Ha!
I love the comic and this could be great.
I love Oscar Isaac.
(And I loved the unrelated "Ex Machina" movie which is by far the best movie that features both Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Issac.)
I don't know how it could have been clearer. OP specifically said "Brian K Vaughn" which should have implied it wasn't the Alex Garland movie.
He's not a famous name, it's not hard for people to be unsure of who these producers and comic book people are.
I'd argue Alex Garland isn't any more famous. None of his movies have really done well. It doesn't really matter
I didn't imply I knew Alex Garland either, I just know Oscar Isaac is in Star Wars and was in a movie already called Ex Machina
