The Middleman
(重定向自Noser)
The Middleman is a comic book series written by Javier Grillo-Marxuach with art by Les McClaine and published by Viper Comics. The series was initially intended to be a television pilot. Grillo-Marxuach decided he wanted to write a series that represented all of the things he grew up loving (what he calls the "Javi-centric World View"). With a little coaching from Paul Dini, he realized his dream in the medium of comic books –for several reasons, not the least of which was how much it would cost to produce a "tentacled ass monster" for television. Despite this, a single season of a television adaptation was picked up for the 2008 season by ABC Family.
