I for one am not terribly excited about this. I may be only one of a handful of individuals who aren't happy with how HBO ruined my once favorite Song of Ice and Fire series. I hate the way they handle nudity and "adult" content on that and a lot of their shows, pretending that it's artistic, and I think Simmons could go that route, too.
Hope I'm wrong though. Been reading Simmons since The Nomar Redemption when I was a sophomore in high school.
