Man, this is worrisome. It could be awesome, right? Like a US branch of Torchwood, would be brilliant but... I... Man, I don't know. I'll expect to see something about this at SDCC if not before. You guys have any thoughts on it?

Also of note, on February 25th, Detective Comics #27, is to go on the block. It has an estimated price of $300,000. Yeah. A comic book worth more than my house. But, man, that would be neat.

It will be nowhere near edgy enough. There is no way in hell you're going to have the flavour of Shagwood on Fox. No way in Network TV Hell.

Yeah. It would have to be on FX to have a chance.

I think the recent failure of Life on Mars US-style says it all, really.

I would note that I am not a collector but that comic would find a happy home with me. Yes, it would. It's the Grail for my species of fan.

Good grief how acerbic was that article? o.O Torchwood was not mocked over here at all! And as for bisexuality being 'catching'.... *grr*

*exhales* I'm uncertain about this idea as well - Queer As Folk seemed to translate better to the US than the UK, but Life On Mars didn't....

Personally I'd love a less edgy Torchwood. It was an interesting show that kept getting distracted by, "LOOK AT US! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT S-E-X!!!!" Ramping that down a little would probably be a good thing.
