20 "Repo Man" sequel GN set; "Mars" lands at Wildstorm?

Alex Cox, who directed the cult 1984 movie "Repo Man," has signed on with Australia-based Gestalt Publishing to turn his unfilmed sequel screenplay into a graphic novel. The book, titled "Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday," is set for release sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. The book will be drawn by Chris Burns, and you can take a look at some of the art at his website.

And E! Online's TV guru Kristin posts the following missive on the "Veronica Mars" comic series, ostensibly sent by someone at DC ...

J in New York: I work at DC Comics, and you've got some big love here. There's a bunch of us who take your word for gospel, and though it's already sorta out there, we just wanted to send some info your way on the Veronica Mars comic books. They'll be published by our Wildstorm imprint, which is based in San Diego, and R.T. is looking to be firmly on board. We're even hoping for a late fall release of the first issue. Hopefully, more to come...Keep up the good work!
