[Groop] Chakal and questions...

Wow, i didn't know that about the Marvel trades.  No wonder there  is such a 
hold up.   Maybe Marvel's new Icon imprint would be a  possible new home for 
future Groo books since they're trying to tap into the  creator-owned market of 
comics.   Maybe they would have a better  deal/package for Sergio and Mark?   
 
Well,  Solo 11 made the "Best Shots" list on Newsarama  today.  It's real 
good press exposure for Sergio and Mark.    Here's a link below.

 Any good press is always good for Groo's future return,  right?  Hopefully 
this positive media blitz continues with  reports of Solo selling out by next 
week.    Newsarama is  usually the first to announce any sell outs of DC books.
 
 
Hey Gary,  thanks for the Groop card and Booklet!  I  got 'em both it today.  
  Groo for 2007!

Hi Folks!  
 
1.  Have the Chakkal stories from Groo 50 and 51 been  reprinted with her on 
the cover yet?
 
That would be the Groo Maiden.  

 
 
2,  Is there any chance that Dark Horse or Graphitti Designs  are planning to 
make an Absolute Edition Hardcover for Groo?  
 
Probably not or Mark would have told us it was in the works.  
 
3.  Is there any truth to the rumor of Jack Black being the  forerunner to 
playing Groo in the movie?   
 
No, because it's goning to be a CGI movie, like Shrek.  
 
4.  eh Mark?    We need Groo updates......we groopies  are starvin for 
info.....
 
I'm sure Mark will give us something when there is something to give  us.  At 
this point, no news is both good and bad.  
 
In the case of the movie, it's good news because it means that the movie  
plans are progressing and the project has not gone belly up.   Unfortunately, 
it's still probably several years away because that's just how  these CGI 
projects work.  
 
In the case of everything else, it's probably bad news.  The deal  for new 
trade paperbacks and reprints of the first 7 that came out under  Marvel was 
supposed to have been struck a year ago.  The fact that it  hasn't happenned yet 
probably/might mean that DH's commitment is lukewarm and  they won't give 
Sergio & Mark a reasonable deal.  Ditto  with Groo v Conan and any other New Groo. 
 
 
I KNOW that Sergio & Mark would love to do new Groo and could  and would 
despite their busy schedules.  This leads me to conclude  that the business side 
of things is getting in the way, i.e. Dark Horse won't  give them a decent 
deal.   
 
But I am ever optimistic that things can be worked out and we will see  New 
Groo and trade paperbacks in the not too distant future.  
 
Take care -Gary G.

Is there any chance that Dark Horse or Graphitti Designs  are planning to 
make an Absolute Edition Hardcover for Groo?   Like the way DC comics did for 
Alan  Moore's Watchman books?  Those nice expensive,  highly detailed and 
oversized books they do?
 
Is there any truth to the rumor of Jack Black being the forerunner to  
playing Groo in the movie?   (He was rumored to play Green Lantern  too)
 
eh Mark?    We need Groo updates......we groopies are  starvin for info.....
