I tend to be a believer that truth will out--either here or in the eternity to come. I also have experienced many a time when the truth sets you free but takes all the sham and pretenses with it.

I discovered something today on the internet that will send a wave of either glad outcries of jubilation or shrieks of despair among the Litnetters that grace this site from years before or years ahead.

It will depend very very much on an individual's ability to accept that art can be portrayed or reimagined in new formats and still take no glory from the source material.

Many Litnetters who perruse these meandering entries may be somewhat bemused that I rarely mention the classics. Mostly because I haven't been reading any lately. I often find it ironic that my vast knowledge of American comic book history and pulp hero magazines let alone 1950s/60s TV series make me woefully unqualified to say much of substance on this literature site.

The Countess already knows and Virgil suspects something is up. They move to the last paragraph to get to the point already guessing Mtpspur is padding the blog so MotherHubbard will not complain about the short entry--a scar that has yet to heal. (Note to MH--you are respected and sorely missed by me.)

Yesterday Newsrama.com (scornfully known to me at the Newsramawhores.com) posted Marvel Comics solicitations three months down the road (yes that is the word used thus my retitling of their site when I think about them) for I believe material that will be out around April or May.

Quickly scanning through the listings for Avengers and Thunderbolts information I discover buried way way down the listings is a announcement that Nancy Butler will be writng a five issue comic book adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Now I love the Greer Garson version and Stephanie Barron's Jane Austen mysteries and I have tried harder then usual to read a real original Austen novel. But thus far I have utterly failed to have finished one. I've started P&P a couple of times here on Litnet but reading online has been an invitation for eye strain after about a half hour though I did get through Sea Wolf last year. Ah the memory comes back--so I have read a classic lately. Wahoo--not a total loss then.

So Austen devotees, something to look forward to or signs of the Apocalyspe -- you decide.
