Deathlok....Possible Movie Based On Comic Books...

Deathlok, ("The Demolisher"), is a Marvel Comics anti-hero cyborg, co-created by Rich Buckler and Doug Moench. The first Deathlok appeared in the comic book title, Astonishing Tales #25. There has been several subsequent characters that have used the "Deathlok" name since then.

I found that a Deathlok feature film is in pre-production by Paramount Pictures. Although no information is currently known about the latest script draft by David Self, previous rumors and scripts suggest that the movie may be using the Luther Manning Deathlok from the Astonishing Tales series, while adding in some of the personality and background traits of Michael Collins from the 1990's title. There is currently no known estimated release date.

Deathlok has appeared in one form or another in the following comic book titles:

• Astonishing Tales #25-36 (August 1974-July 1976)
• Marvel Team-Up v1 #46 (June 1976)
• Marvel Two-In-One #27 and #54 (May 1977,August 1979)
• Captain America #286-288 (October 1983-December 1983)
• Deathlok #1-4 (July 1990-October 1990)
• Deathlok (Vol. 2) #1-34 (July 1991-April 1994)
• Deathlok Annual #1-2 (1992-93)
• Deathlok (Vol. 3) #1-11 (September 1999-June 2000)
• Beyond! #2-6 (August 2006)

I personally missed out on the original Deathlok when it was first published, but have read them since, and was there for the 1990's version which was ok for the first early issues. Then it fell into the 1990's publisher craze for foil covers, special guest stars, even more high priced special covers, etc.
