"We've gotten some interest from Hollywood, we've talked about doing a comic series," Madureira told VG247. "We" being publishers THQ, of course, not Vigil. "At least a couple of those things have to happen, I'm sure". Seeing as he only listed a couple of things, maybe they're both a go!
For those who haven't played the game (http://kotaku.com/5439223/darksiders-review-harbinger-of-the-apocopylypse), Darksiders is the story of one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, War, who has to clear his name by finding, then killing, everyone and everything responsible for triggering the end of the world.
Seeing as Madureira made his name in the business, you'd expect to at least see a comic series starring the bulky horseman and his fire-breathing horse.
Hollywood interested in Darksiders, confirms Madureira (http://www.vg247.com/2010/01/05/hollywood-interested-in-darksiders-confirms-madureira/#more-72335) [VG247]
