Yeah, that pretty much confirms my impressions. When the first trailers came out, my immediate reaction was, "Hey -- I've *read* that!"
It looks like they used the comic as the official storyboard, so that the discussion was always of the form, "How do we do *this*?", not "What should we do?" Very interesting stuff. I never thought I would see a comic adaptation to film that was truer than Hellboy, but this seems to go several steps further...
