Hollywood Daze: Kill Whitey Donovan
.
Deadline is reporting that the new Dark Horse Comics series Kill Whitey Donovan has had the film rights acquired by Hideout Pictures who plan on turning the comic book series into an action film.
.
Is this the first time you’ve heard of the Kill Whitey Donovan series? Well that’s because the first issue, Kill Whitey Donovan #1, comes out this week, December 4, and since the news first hit the internet, the first issue has sold at the distribution level.
.
Kill Whitey Donovan is the first comic book series by Sydney Duncan, described as the author of the “critically acclaimed fantasy trilogy The Revelation Saga“. The book does look interesting, the Dark Horse Comics solicitation details the books plot as “After Anna Hoyt’s sister commits suicide, she sets off for Atlanta to kill the man responsible for destroying her family–her fiance, Jim ”Whitey” Donovan. But Anna, a spirited though pampered daughter of a prominent doctor, can’t do it alone. To get through the hell that lies between her Alabama home and Atlanta, she makes a deal with one of the Donovan slaves, Hattie Virgil, who has an agenda of her own. In exchange for a chance at freedom, Hattie, a survivor, will lead this unlikely pair on a quest that will change them both forever.”

I guess it is a good pick up if you can find it at cover price but it seems just about every other comic book property is getting optioned.
I wouldn’t buy this book. They are just trying to jack up sales to me.
