People genuinely believing that the remake is going to follow the graphic novel closer. As someone who’s read it and seen the first look images… no the fuck it’s not.

#I feel like it following the comic was preposed way back in the day but it is NOT #looking at it and all the stuff I’ve heard it’s further from it than the 90s version #the crow #the crow 1994 #the crow graphic novel #the crow 1989 #james o'barr #bill skarsgård

🐦‍⬛ The Crow by James O’Barr

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“Life is lousy with hurt but it also shimmers with beauty. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of that beauty. You may not get another.”

“The Crow” is a story of exacting vengeance from the grave as Eric Draven is brought back from the dead and starts killing off gang members one by one- people who had murdered and raped his fiancé before killing him.

I had no idea that the amazing 1994 movie was based off a graphic novel- a movie that really shaped me when I saw it as a preteen. So when I saw the special edition graphic novel at my comic store I knew I had to have it and read it. And read it I did. This story has so much more meaning now after hearing that James O’Barr wrote this in a state of turmoil after his own girlfriend was killed in a drunk driving incident. Not to mention the tragedy of Brandon Lee’s death on set of the movie.

Reading this graphic novel was a thing of beauty to me. James O’Barr’s art is classic and it’s hand drawn and penned and inked and it’s original. The story wouldn’t be the same without his ingenuity, his poetics, his artistic flair. I highly recommend this graphic novel, although I will warn people that it is pretty violent and there is drug-use in it, so practice self-care if you choose to read it.

One that should’ve been forever and one that could never be.

I don't know who needs to hear this

But there was nothing creative or unique about Christopher Nolan's Joker design concept.

It's literally just a Technicolor rip-off of The Crow.

The Crow: Comic vs Movie (trigger warning: SA, Murder, Death)

In the movie, Shelly and Eric are tenants in an apartment who get targeted cuz they won't leave. Eric dies instantly when he's thrown out a window. In the comic, Shelly and Eric are driving back from the countryside when their car breaks down in the rain. T-Bird and his gang show up and shoot Eric in the head but don't kill him. He's alive but paralyzed, forced to watch as T-Bird and co. rape Shelly. He dies later in the hospital. The creator of The Crow comic-- O'Barr-- wrote the story after the untimely death of his own fiancée; drawing & writing the comic was his form of art therapy. His fiancée was killed in a drunk driving accident, a random act that took the love of his life from him, and it's mirrored in the tragedy Eric goes through (except Eric's tragedy is dialed up to 11). In the comic, Shelly's assault & death is spur-of-the-moment since her and Eric just so happened to meet the wrong people at the wrong time. The movie makes their death part of a grand scheme by the bad guy to get a hold of some real estate so Eric and Shelly's deaths aren't just random acts of murder and violence. The movie elevates Eric from a depressed, grief-stricken revenant to all of that but now he's blatantly a dark superhero. The reboot is supposed to stick closer to the source material than the Brandon Lee movie but idk I feel like studio execs are gonna chop the movie to pieces to make it a typical blockbuster instead of the moody, morose tragedy that it is.
