Cerebus on list of "Comics that should be on the big screen"
http://www.geek.com/news/comics-that-should-be-on-the-big-screen-1649648/
From the article: "I will defend up and down the quality of his epic 300-issue series, Cerebus. I'd hate to be the person that had to decide how to adapt it, as it is so uniquely a comic book story, but I'd gladly cross my fingers and hope for the best when it hit the theaters."
