COMIC-CON: DC COMICS' VERTIGO PANELFilmmaker Darren Aronofsky said that The Fountain graphic novel will be a very different experience from his upcoming movie of the same name.
The 180-page, oversized book is painted by Kent Williams from Aronofsky's original screen play.
"They're totally separate," said Aronofsky, joining DC Comics' Vertigo panel on Saturday after a presenation of the film -- starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz -- from Warner Bros.
"Normally when there's a graphic novel with a movie, you'd see the likenesses of Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz running around in a comic book. But this is totally Kent's interpration of the screenplay."

COMIC-CON: MARVEL'S HOUSE OF M/X-MEN PANEL A new X-Factor series written by Peter David was among the highlights Friday at Marvel's House of M/X-Men panel.

COMIC-CON: ASPEN COMICS PANELAspen Comics' Michael Turner said that the Fathom live-action movie at 20th Century Fox is "as close as it's ever been" to becoming a reality.
"We have new writers who worked on King Tut (Sean O'Keefe and Will Staptles)," Turner said on Friday at the Aspen Comics panel. "I'm meeting with them on Tuesday and hopefully the script will be done the first week of August.
"The script looks really good. It's more of a Fathom prequel with Aspen, not quite as big as before, so it's not this crazy movie."
