On the subject of comics I read today that JAL wasn't too happy with the LMI crossroads adaptaion.
Original author John Ajvide Lindqvist said "Nobody has asked me about [doing a comic] and I think that the project stinks. I am looking into this matter and hope that they have no right to do this."[52] Later, he informed fans that he had in fact unwittingly sold the rights for the comic to be made, stating that the producers had misinformed him as to the nature of the contract he had signed.

Does anyone know any more on this, or whether there is any truth to it? :think:

It's the truth, he also wrote it here on the board.

What he opposed, I think, was his characters appearing in new "adventures" not penned by himself, not the comic format per se.
