As cool as it is that  WOT will be a comic book, I think Mistborn would be a much more interesting graphic novel.
The fight scenes alone seem to be made for comic book format.

I did a short story where i had 6 guys that served an emperor and i called them Patriarchs. I kinda thought that was a cool title. If your planning on making the queen a kinda of  "Mother to the nation" for her title that kinda goes with it.
You could name the women Matriarch.

So i just finished MB2 and have a few questions about all this. First when alendi and TLR went to the well of ascension was that the first time that it had happened. If not, and if it was preservation that was in the well, would that mean the world that they lived in was influenced more by ruin. This makes me think that it couldnt of been preservation in the well then.If this wasn't the first time that ruin or preservation was fighting to keep away/bring some one to the WOA how many times has it been done before. If this was the first time how did these two powers come to control the world like they did.
 The mist spirit(whether or not it is preservation or a servant of some sort) was trying to stop them from using the well but failing that wanted the power used instead of set free. Does this mean that being trapped in the well gives the opposite power to whoever uses it instead of lets it go.But that would mean the mist spirit would want it used instead of as a last resort so im not sure what im saying here.

Im still a novice at making these theories up so you professionals feel free to correct me.

Who wouldn't love to see the lord ruler show up in AMOL. Thats a battle i would like to see.

I just have one more question concerning hollywood. If Brandon were to sell rights to a mistborn movie or mini series or the like, would he be able to keep some kind of control over it like J.K. Rowling has done with the harry potter movies or does he not  have that kind of control over the franchise(im not sure how Tor handles those kinds of things). It seems to me that when the authors have some kind of say about the final piece it stays truer to the books and the fans are not as disappointed.
I hope it goes well with the movie deal. Best of luck to you Brandon.

i was wondering why Hollywood would pick up a short story written ten years ago back when the author was still in high school and (to my knowledge) only released to the public like 2 monthes ago.

And if he says its not the series we would expect dont we all expect that its not going to be mistborn so it might actually be the one we hope for but dont  expect. . . that made more sense in my head.(translation=it might be mistborn)

Anyways whatever book it is i hope he gets to help the movie and have some control over it so it doesnt turn into another Eragon.

Maybe inquisitors can be something a mistborn can become at a certain lvl like  class change.
