Make THESE Comics Into Movies (feat. Umberto Gonzales, aka El Mayimbe)


Listen Later

This week, we talk about comics that deserve to be movies with TheWrap's comic maestro, Umberto Gonzales - aka @ElMayimbe.

We talk about why Ninjak, Ann Nocenti's X-Men spinoff "Beauty and the Beast" (featuring ex-disco star Dazzler) and Calvin & Hobbes should be movies. And why Dazzler should be played by Janelle Monae, not Taylor Swift.

Here's Ira Madison III's piece on Grace Jones' influence on Dazzler:
