"Then, Of Course, There Are The Commies"
Just when I was starting to shake the fog of the glum, idiotic Fantastic Four out of my brain, here's Michael Chabon, showing how much better it could have been.
His pitch is muddled (are the Communists working with Dr. Doom?) but the writing already suggests an art-retro visual style, not entirely unlike a live-action Brad Bird. The characterizations have scale -- these are icons, in a very mid-century way -- and the effect is something bright and original and lost, like a billboard for a theme park that was never built. I'm going to go weep now.
