Yes, its obscure comic book adap time again! But this one I have actually heard of, and read a little bit of too. Its seemed pretty good. According to Heatvision...

The producers are hoping to launch an action-adventure franchise in the vein of "Men in Black," this one focused on mythological creatures. The story focuses on a young man who reluctantly becomes a member of an elite secret order charged with protecting humanity from the beasts of folklore who invade our world.

The producers being Andrew Lazar and Circle of Confusion's Rick Jacobs. Cory Goodman(Writyer of Priest) and Jeremy Lott will write the screenplay. The comic itself was written by Metal Gear Solid comics illustrator Ashley Wood and his wife T.P. Louise.

Like I said, it seems to be worth a read although it doesn't hold up too well when compared to similar stuff like Fables. I'd say it will make a good movie though.

This is actually one of my most favoritest "comics" of the last decade. I say "comics" because it's mostly just text.

And according to the press release they've already screwed it up, or they're doing a prequel. In the book it's an old man, and a young lady. They're called 'Shepherds' and their job is to protect the nodes in the ley-lines that go throughout the world and keep them closed so things from the other side don't spill through.

Sounds more like Hellblazer and the look of John Constantine... throw a trenchcoat on him you cant tell the difference. Love Hellblazer.

Hellboy is different cause he is a demon protecting man.
