Greg Land has quit CGE, following the shelving of his “American Power” series with Chuck Dixon. No more is known at this time.
Requiem for a Dream director to helm “Watchmen”?
Aronofsky to Direct Watchmen? That’s ICV2’s link to the scoop by Aintitcoolnews. I dearly wish Terry Gilliam’s “Watchmen” had seen the light of day, since an early 1990s film could still have worked. But I fear any film version of Watchmen not set during the Cold War is going to be a failure. I’ve caught…
Lemmiwinks’ journey is not at an end
South Park Studios reports that their previously-announced, promoted and overhyped “Return of Lemmiwinks” has been…well, I’m not sure what you’d call it. For whatever reason they won’t make public, it will not air with these first six episodes of Season 8, nor will it air in the fall. Yet they say Lemmiwinks will return. Curiouser…
Raven House changes
Raven House rescheduled with new artist. The gothic horror miniseries will now premiere in August with Mike Perkins (of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) instead of Leonardo Manco as the artist. Will Perkins be changing books? What does this mean for his spy series? CGE isn’t saying. Newsarama has a good interview with Chuck Dixon about…
Latest AVP featurette
The most recent Alien Vs. Predator online featurette is not only illuminating but it makes me hopeful that this film is up to snuff. Goodies: the characters and actors look better than the casts of Alien 3 and 4 (though Ron Perlman was good in that one; no slam against him intended), and the billionaire…
Metro Med site is up
A bare-bones web site has now been posted for Metro Med. It’s very basic at the moment, but it contains the pinup, pitch and detailed instructions for voting for us in the Small Press Idol. It’s now 2:30AM and Phil and I are departing at 8:00AM to attend MicroCon up in White Bear Lake (north…
Today is 24 Hour Comic Day
Scott McCloud created 24 Hour Comic Day and it seems to be an event that is growing in participation. This year, participants include a few of the comic pros I keep tabs on. Scott Kurtz of PvP is going to do 24 strips in one sitting. He claims to have gotten some complaints that he’s…
You can’t say S.O.B. on the comics page!
That wonderful guy G. Trudeau decided to broaden the horizons of American tots by putting the spelled out curse S.O.B. in today’s Doonesbury in very large print. In the Minneapolis Star Trib the cartoon ran right next to Family Circus. Nice. Makes me wonder if the comics editor even read it. Many other newspapers around…
If we win the Olympics…
…thank Spider-Man
I think I’ve read this one already!
The whole time I’m watching the trailer for The Terminal, Steven Spielberg’s new movie, I keep waiting for the announcement that this is based on a true story. I know I’ve read the story somewhere about a foreign guy who lived at an airport for years. BUT, in the trailer I see the date “2004”…
