There seems to be a lot of these 'samey' graphic novels. You know the type I'm talking about. Those with street-based Constantine-type stuff going on.

How's about someone taking on the sublime 'Y - The Last Man'? That'd make one hell of a movie, methinks?

Or if us Brits had any money, what about 'Zenith' or 'Caballistics Inc' from the 200ad stable?

Ah, I'm dreamin' again...

That should've read '2000ad'

The hook that makes the story different is that the main character is cursed. If he is dead and someone touches him they are die and he comes back to life. Because of this, several demons use him to settle various debts and carry out jobs no one else wants. A particularly funny part was when the main character is confronted by a huge demon. It hits him twice. The first time killed him, the second time brought him back to life and killed the demon. The book reminded me a lot of Millers Crossing so I'm not at all surprised to see it being made into a film.
good for Dreamworks

they seem to take more risks than most major studios, but then I might just be hallucinating RICKY SHORE SINGS THE BLUES
The Walking Dead would make a great TV series.

Not really a horror comic at all

More of a crime comic with demons. Nothing all that scary about it although there are some big monsters. Think Men in Black in the criminal underworld with demons instead of aliens.

Really? Dreamworks takes more risk then most major studios? At first maybe with American Beauty, Mouse Hunt, Paulie, Small Soliders, Galaxy Quest and In Dreams. Yeah there were on a hot streak for a while. Now all they do is sit back and wait to see whats popular and try to do it but with more money. The only risk they take now is by throwing MORE and MORE money at Ben Stiller and keep putting Rescue Me on the air (which I am glad they do). But it just seems like now they are all about Shrek like buisness with their cartoons (while at first they had creative and different cartoons (not very good)) but like Prince of Egypt came out the same year as Rugrats I think and that was a big year for cartoon, because they both grossed over 100 million, something that no other non-disney cartoon had done. Proving that Disney was not the end all (but still is light years better) for cartoon movies. Actually Rugrats and Prince were 18 and 17 on the top movies of 98 list. Both beat by Mulan and Bugs Life, and Antz did pretty well. I think at first Dreamworks was all over the map trying to find their niche, which was cool. Now it just seems that once they have a hit in a certain genre they make more and more and more of the same crap. See after Prince they followed up with The Road to El Dorado which floped but Chicken Run and Shrek did well so they continued with Clay and CG but not hand animation. I still don't understand the amount of money they give to every Ben Stiller adventure. Looks like we'll get some pay off this year, but don't know if Tropic Thunder will bring them Meet the Parents returns though.
Also I prefer
