2007?!?!
Are they going straight to a 2-pack DVD release with Man-Thing and hoping people will think it already went to the big screen?!

It already came out! Didn’t you see it?? It was stylistically interesting and featured some fine tail, but was ultimately vapid, predictable, dull, and humorless. Miller raped Will Eisner’s dead corpse! Somehow!
