To answer the questions...

Ender's Game... no. It's based on a book series from the 1980's and was adapted to comic book form in 2008. The film seems to be largely based on the books and not the comics. Whereas the Conan films were heavily influenced by Marvel's comic version of the character or The Shadow is largely considered a "comic book hero" despite originating in radio serials, I do not feel that Ender's Game falls into a similar "gray area." It's clearly a book series first.

As for Noah... that's a tricky one. The film is based on the graphic novel interpretation of the film's original screenplay, meaning that the original idea was that this story would be a film first. However, the whole thing is based on a story from a little something called the Book of Genesis, which I don't believe was a "comic book," despite certain characters having what some might call "super powers." I think because the whole thing is based on a bible story, it would disqualify it from my collection, despite the screenplay's adaptation to graphic novel format. I'm really not sure how to handle this one? :shrug:

And even though THIS was a comic book at one point, I have no intentions of adding it to the collection...

not that i am in any way expecting covers, but the original 1980's transformers was a comic before it was a cartoon, cause the comics promoted the cartoon and the toys to my understanding. sometimes with this collection it can get very nitty gritty with what's cased a comic besides the obvious things. But kernie has done a superb job with this collection

Another gray area, but I'm omitting Transformers because the four-issue comic that you speak of was designed to promote the cartoon and toy line, and was not originally intended to be solely a comic book.

Per Wikipedia (if one can trust such a source)...

QUOTE
The Transformers toyline and cartoon/animated series was inspired by the Japanese toyline, Microman (an Eastern descendant of the 12" G.I. Joe action figure series). In 1980, the Microman spin-off, Diaclone, was released, featuring inch-tall humanoid figures able to sit in the drivers' seats of scale model vehicles, which could transform into humanoid robot bodies the drivers piloted. Later still, in 1983, a Microman sub-line, MicroChange was introduced, featuring "actual size" items that transformed into robots, such as microcassettes, guns and toy cars. Diaclone and MicroChange toys were subsequently discovered at the 1983 Tokyo Toy Fair by Hasbro toy company product developer Henry Orenstein, who presented the concept to Hasbro's head of R&D, George Dunsay. Enthusiastic about the product, it was decided to release toys from both Diaclone and MicroChange as one toyline for their markets, although there were eventual changes to the color schemes from the original toys to match the new series.[5]

By 1984, U.S. regulators had removed many of the restrictions regarding the placement of promotional content within children's television programming. The way was cleared for the new product-based television program. Hasbro had previously worked with Marvel Comics to develop G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero for a three-pronged marketing scheme - the toyline, a tie-in comic book by Marvel, and an animated mini-series co-produced by Marvel's media arm, Marvel Productions, and the Griffin-Bacal Advertising Agency's Sunbow Productions animation studio. Given the success of that strategy, the process was repeated in 1984 when Hasbro marketing vice president Bob Prupis approached Marvel to develop their new robot series, which Jay Bacal dubbed "Transformers."[3]

Marvel's Editor-in-Chief at the time, Jim Shooter, produced a rough story concept for the series, creating the idea of the two warring factions of alien robots – the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons.[6] To flesh out his concept, Shooter called upon veteran editor Dennis O'Neil to create character names and profiles for the cast, but O'Neill's work – for whatever reason – did not meet with Hasbro's expectations, and they requested heavy revisions. O'Neill declined to make said revisions, and the project was turned down by several writers and editors approached by Shooter until editor Bob Budiansky accepted the task. Hastily performing the revisions over a weekend, Budiansky's new names and profiles were a hit with Hasbro, and production began on a bi-monthly four-issue comic book miniseries, and three-part television pilot.

Besides, there are a CRAPLOAD of Transformers series out there plus the movies, and to put that much time and effort into covers for something that technically doesn't qualify for the collection in the first place is not something I fancy doing.

I think we're starting to split hairs now about what qualifies for the collection and to be honest, it's becoming a bit overwhelming. Could we perhaps shift the topic away from possible titles and implied requests? Thanks. :D

I realize you weren't making a request, I just didn't want the thread to turn into a bunch of requests/discussions for "gray area" titles. No hard feelings, buddy. :D :D :D

Nice to see my Hitman cover on your shelf! :)

Have you printed any other custom covers from the HiRes community?
