After the rush of San Diego Comic-Con last week, it’s a bit of a mellow week this time, which means it’s a good week to step out and try some books you may have missed or try some new things. Since we’re all a little worn out from a busy weekend, I’m going a little light this week. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to catch up on some sleep while you dive into The GoD List!

BOOM! Studios already has one pretty successful comic book adaptation of a John Carpenter/Kurt Russell 1980s movie under their belt with Big Trouble in Little China. Now, the publisher has officially announced a second series based on another cult classic, Escape from New York.

Starting in December, writer Christopher Sebela (High Crimes, and Dead Letters) will chronicle the ongoing adventures of Snake Plissken, ex-soldier and all around badass. The original film detailed his adventure to save the President after Air Force One crash lands in the now prison island of Manhattan. I say continuing adventures, although I’m not sure if the series will be a retelling of the original movie or a sequel, and if it is a sequel if they’ll continue the story on from the actual movies sequel, Escape from L.A.
