Zune Arts to Release Graphic Novel

Zune Arts is producing a graphic novel titled The Lost Ones written by Steve Niles, author of 30 Days of Night. The Lost Ones chronicles the adventures of Duncan, Roxy, Rasheed and Cynthia, who leave their Earth and are swept up in an epic intergalactic adventure. A different graphic artist will illustrate each of the four chapters, creating a genre-bending take on visual storytelling.

On an semi-related note - who's cooler: Ironman or Batman? Discuss.

The book sounds like a very interesting idea!

And Batman is definitely cooler... He doesn't have to have a technically advanced suit or super powers, he just fights crime the good ole fashioned way: with a good punch to the kisser.

Iron Man wins because he is Tony Stark. And he has a badass theme tune.

whle iron man's theme is kick a$$, it is deffinetly the boy wonders sidekick, the dark knight. he just uses tools and more ninja skills the anybody else. between that and the batmobile ,any of them, is just a bitchin' ride.

Andrex

Batman. Iron Man may think he comes close, but he doesn't. Not by a galaxy.

Matt

So will this be a downloadable video sort of like that Avril Lavigne thing that came with the Zune? Or will it only be available online?

Iron Man IS Batman 2.0

Instead of a belt though Tony Stark was smart enough to build an entire suit...point, Stark.

Iron Man also flies, not glides...point, Stark.

Batman has a butler and a pretty sweet cave, Iron Man has Pepper Potts...close, but point Stark.

Game, Set, and Match! No question about it Stark is the victor.

I'll be sure to check the book out next month.

I can't seem to decide between the two. Sure Tony Stark is Iron Man. But George Clooney is waaayyy better (even though Batman & Robin sucked). So I guess I'll have to go with Batman.

BTW Cesar, my mom says that if you ever plan on having another Zune meeting, she'll have a McDonald's with a private meeting room reserved for you.

I am sort of upset...I ordered a ZUNE Originals with the laser engraving...last saturday may 3rd.  Still not here, zune told me there would be a delay...and latest would have been this tuesday I recieve it.  Well, im going to las vegas and looks like no zune player on the ride with me.  This sucks. :(

Mark

You have to go with the Bat!

"Batman... Batman... Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in, where a man dressed up as a *bat* gets all of my press? This town needs an enema!"

ManMythLegend forget about Potts, batman has alllllllll those hot women!!! Remeber when he was partying in his last film. point Batman...

Dan D
