ComicMix QuickPicks - January 26, 2009
Here is today's list of comic-related news items that might not generate a post of their own, but may be of interest...
* V for ABC: ABC has announced that they've picked up the pilot for a remake of "V". Oh, don't pretend you don't remember the series. If nothing else, we wrote about it back in October.
* Shooting on Spielberg's Tintin has finally started. Although I have to ask-- $100 million budgeted for a motion capture film? Good grief. I would have pegged it at about $80 million.
* Because 6.5 million people haven't gotten their act together, the Senate OKs 4-month delay to digital TV changeover.
* Cripes, now they're laying off folks at Publisher's Weekly, including editor-in-chief Sara Nelson and about 7% of the staff. So far, Calvin Reid and Heidi Macdonald are unaffected directly.
* And finally, Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenbery's ashes will be shot into space next year, together in infinite eternity... unless they were picked up by V'G'r.
Anything else? Consider this an open thread.

I liked the two V mini-series, but the regular series lost its way. Hopefully a new series can remain focused.
I love that Gene and Majel are going to space. This seems to be the perfect way for them to spend eternity.

Love Jane Badler in V as Diana the evil space tart.
