It looks like Green Arrow will be the special guest on the next episode of BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE OLD on the Cartoon Network, Friday, January 2nd. Here are 2 videos showing them teleported back in time to the days of King Arthur & they meet Merlin The Magician. It looks pretty good & I can't wait to see it. Part One: Part Two:
ICv2 has posted their list of the top manga properties for fall 2008, and the chart makes interesting reading. Naruto continues to rule at the top of the charts, but Fruits Basket has been displaced from the number two slot by Vampire Knight. This is interesting as I think Vampire Knight appeals to a slightly older reader than Furuba. Bleach is number four, then comes Queenie Chan’s In Odd We Trust, one of only two global manga on the chart (the [...]
Seasonal Short from Trevor Van Meter on Vimeo. Oh no, is it too late for a piece of seasonal holiday animation? I don’t care, because I simply adore this short from one of my favourite creative minds, Trevor Van Meter. And I think you’ll adore it, too.

I enjoyed the first FOT short from New Zealand animator Alex Dron (previously blogged here), but this trailer for the next short, The Next Big Thing, is pretty great. Flight of the Conchords fans may recognize the voice of Rhys Darby, aka Murray.
Billy Mavreas has scanned in several American joke book cover illustrations from 1905, published by Wheman Bros. of NY. Says Billy: I think they rock. The line work is reminiscent of 60s undergrounds. But i must warn all viewers, some are blatantly racist/offensive.
Enjoy what illustrator S.britt refers to as a “blow-by-blow” of a recent commercial illustration job. On Flickr he has posted the various stages of the job from the client’s initial sketches to the final pieces. Great stuff as always! Previously: S.britt’s New Doodle Room S.britt B.logs S.britt

© Will Eisner Studios. Issue 20 seems to be the last for the art team of Paul Smith and Walden Wong, who did a fine job of capturing the style of Spirit creator Will Eisner, though with a slightly modern feel. The new art team of Chad Hardin and Wayne Faucher is a definite step away from Eisner and toward modern superhero comics, though still with a good dose of humor and caricature. Here’s a sample. Not bad, nice layout [...]

If you recall, I did my Top 10 Comics of 2008 a week or so ago. I did it at that exact point in time because Comic Book Resources was asking staff members to give in their lists of their Top 10 books of 08, with the composite votes becoming a Top 100 list. That Top 100 Comics of 2008 list began its countdown today, with #100-81! Check it out here. And my best guess is that you can bookmark this [...]

Crossovers. Why’d it have to be crossovers? Crossovers are one of those occurrences in comics where a character from one title appears in the pages of another title and vice versa. Generally, these events happen in the pages of titles from large publishers, and is a way to remind readers that the company’s universe is big

Well, the holidays ended up being quite a bit more whirlwind than I anticipated. I took the S.O. up to visit with my family for Christmas. My brother, his wife, and their brood were in town, as were some of my mom's family. It was definitely interesting, I think, as S.O. normally doesn't really celebrate Christmas, plus most of said relatives she was meeting for the first time. It could've been extremely awkward for her, but she took even the most [...]

Watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special with the kids on Boxing Day. I liked it, but kept expecting it to turn a corner and for me to love it, which it, and I, never did. Possibly because the clanky high tech Cybermen have no hold on my heart in the way the silent bacofoil ones did and do, and possibly because of spoilery reasons having to do with never really buying the David Morrisey plot to begin with. Loved the moments [...]

Yes, it is the international trailer, and you’ll need to understand Japanese to get the full meaning, but it’s got Kristin Kreuk in it, so that’s like a double bonus.

Theo Ellsworth .I love Theo Ellsworth's Capacity graphic novel. The art is often intricate and ornate and its one of the most imaginative, magical books I've ever experienced. It's full of strange creatures, bizarre happenings and complex contraptions for a beautiful final product. I really like how Capacity is a lot about the creative process, how it works, where it comes from, and the author's personal experiences with the demons associated with creating. It was very encouraging and thoughtful and left [...]

The reviews are in — 15% on Rotten Tomatoes, a mere 6% among Top Critics — and the box office is in: 9. The Spirit (Lionsgate)$2.1M Saturday… $6.5M 3-day weekend… $10.4M 4-day holidayNot every comic book can become a hit movie. Movie analysts didn’t expect much life from this adaptation of Will Eisner’s graphic novels despite a flashy marketing campaign. Lionsgate shouldn’t have tried to brave the Christmas competition. …and the verdict is…THE SPIRIT is a big flopperoo. Before we [...]

§ After last nights press deadline, The Comics Reporter posted another holiday interview, this time with writer Kurt Busiek, in a thughtful talk that explores many aspects of his work. However, the pull quote we’ll use covers the matter of the day: I’m worried about the economy in general terms, but I don’t really know what it means for comics. I keep hearing people talk about how in troubled time, comics do great, but I don’t know why they’re saying that. [...]

As you may be aware, LA Judge Gary Allen Feess delievered a special Christmas Eve gift to Fox by abruptly announcing that they were the winners in the closely-watched Watchmen lawsuit. You’ll recall that even as Warner Bros. has been rolling out the eagerly awaited Zack Snyder film for a March 3 2009 release, Fox filed a lawsuit saying that Warners never had the right to produce the film since producer Larry Gordon had not properly regained them from Fox. The [...]
