New comics publisher Virgin Comics is to launch a “Director’s Cut” series of comics. The idea is that famous directors will come up with their own comics, the first in this line of mighty story-tellers being John Woo. Garth Ennis, famous for various things including Preacher, is going to be scripting “Seven Brothers”, as Woo’s comic will be called.
I checked the Virgin Comics web site and I have to say the rest of their stuff looks like arse, so this is going to be a blessing for them I suspect. And yes, Richard Branson does have something to do with it. As of yet, the web site has nothing on the new range.

I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe.
