Criminal Macabre

The dude on the cover looks a lot like Thomas Jane. It would be awesome if he could finally attach himself to a franchise.

Paramount has ties to Marvel, Warner Bros. has them to DC, and Universal has Dark Horse. The mini-major of comic book companies signed a three-year deal with the studio over a year ago, and deals between the two companies have been trickling out ever since. The latest is Criminal Macabre, the Dark Horse series about a detective/hitman who takes out the likes of vampires and ghosts.

According to Variety, Kyle Ward will write the script, having recently been hired to write a sequel for the Hitman series over at Fox. As described here, Criminal Macabre sounds like a decent, if maybe more brutal, successor to Universal's own Hellboy series, a cross between traditional mystery stories and supernatural nonsense that's a lot of fun to see on the screen.

It would be awsome if it was Thomas Jane, but no matter what sounds like they will be interesting movie(s)!

I like how he tied himself to the Punisher franchise.

This sounds like an interesting concept, and it would be awesome if Thomas Jane was involved.
