- Entertainment Weekly had a nice little spot giving a plug to Oni Press’s new Clerks book, as well as updating the massses on Kevin’s other dealings in the comic book community. We’re convinced that these guys are tapping our site for all this info, but we’ve just got no proof, dammit! But hey, that’s alright, we’re sure they’ll come to their senses and mention us sometime…Here’s the article!
Director Tim Burton may have eight-sixed his script for the next Superman movie, but that hasn’t stopped writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) from living out his comic-book fantasies. In addition to owning a comics store (Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, in Red Bank, NJ.), Smith has written two titles of his own: a Jay and Silent Bob series (based onn the ubiquitous stoner duo seen in his films) andClerks. (The Comic Book). which furthers the adventures of Dante and Randal. Continuing his comic escapades, the writer recently teamed up with artist Joe Quesada for six issues of Marvel Comics’ Daredevil, with the first due out in September. And Smith has also agreed to write for DC Comics’ popular Green Arrow. “It’s always been a dream,” says Smith, whose upcoming comedy Dogma starts shooting in March. “And at least now I’m working in a medium where I know Tim Burton isn’t going to come in and go, ‘Let’sshitcan this thing and move on.'”
Our Oni Press page will be seeing some nice updates this week, we hope. Be sure to check it out later this week!
