S.A. Bennet was wondering in his review of the Kingdom Hearts Manga why Disney hasn't turned this into an anime. The answer probably lies somewhere in the fact that Disney doesn't have the rights to all of the characters. KH was originally a Playstation 2 video game (and a danged good one) co-produced by Disney and Square Soft; the latter owns the Final Fantasy characters like Yuffie, Aerith, and Leon (originally Squall from FF8) that show up in the series. I'm not sure who owns the rights to Sora, Riku, Kairi, and the various new characters. Regardless, that's probably why.
Oh, and I can't recommend the game, and its sequel, enough.

The review of Rich Corben`s Edgar Allan Poe Tales from Marvel says that the stories are reprints from Warren Magazines.
I don`t believe this because the style is completely different. I own most of the old Edgar Alan Poe Adaptations from Warren and the reprints as well and there was never a similarity in style or an identical story.
Can you please check the facts ?

I may have read some of the Corben Warrens in the past and assumed they'd covered these same stories. Doesn't change my review, really; I still feel the adaptations are, for the most part, ponderous and poorly paced, and have an out-of-date feeling. Corben's art, of course, is the saving grace, making just about anything he works on worth glancing at.

So boring I will never read them again.
