I'v never forgiven Azzarello for that Luke Cage miniseries he did a few years back and he also likes the n-word way too much. That said 100 Bullets was great and his other work is always interesting if not my cup of teaa. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Kelwyn ravena...@... wrote:

The story says she's a yet unnamed female co-lead. Tom Hardy(Star Trek: Nemesis, Rock N' Rolla, Bronson) is cast as Max. I guess the raves Hardy's gotten for Bronson gave him the edge over Aussie Sam Worthington who I thought was dead solid perfect for the role. --- In
