Looks like some of the New 52 Issue Twos are rolling out. Artist Adam Hughes tweeted:

While comics and graphic novels being optioned for film are practically a daily occurrence around here, there's one movie that we would REALLY like to see get made, and that the planned BRAT PACK film from Ars Nova (BLACK DYNAMITE).
