Great Advance Buzz On DD #2…

October 4th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Nolan Reese

  • Some very promisiing news about the upcoming Daredevil book and the series as a whole from CSN:
DAREDEVIL #2

WHAT’S HOT: Daredevil… and ain’t it about time?

WHAT’S COOL: Kevin Smith, Joe Quesada, and Jimmy Palmiotti have reboundeed the Man Withought Fear, giving us the most compelling Daredevil since the Frank Miller days. The art is superb, and the script…heck, this Smith guy is so good he oughtta’ be writing movies!

DA BUZZ:

If you read the first issue, you know how good this series is; if you didn’t , you’re probably not going to find one now, bub!

It definitely sounds as if this is gonna be one series to follow. Be sure and grab your copies before they’re gone! Comic retailers and Kevin himself tell us that these books just do NOT stay on the shelves for long.

  • We’ve taken the liberty to give the summaries yet another facelift, as well as update some information, with new Q&A, changed answers, and more! Be sure and stop by and read EVERY page if you’ve never visited them, or, if you’re an old summaries fan, let us know what you think! The Crossovers Page has gotten an extensive update with all the comics info, plus the Dogma Page now features more accurate stuff (though Dogma: Rumor Control is still your best bet!). Anyway, hope ya like them. This was long overdue, we apologize, but we DO want you to know that the summaries haven’t been forgotten and will continue to live on through News Askew!

'Good Will Hunting' DVD Cover

  • Wanna see what you DVD owners will be searching the shelves for come December 1st? Take a first look at the Good Will Hunting DVD cover right here —>
  • A scooper reports seeing a TON (practically ALL) of Dogma’s effects on display at a Scream Queens Festival at the New Yorker hotel last Saturday. We’d go into details, but trust us, it will MAJORLY spoil the film for you to know what these effects are. Sorry, no pics! Trust us though, they’re VERY cool. We’ve seen them all, and you’ll love them.
  • Our scooper was watching a rerun of the “New Batman/Superman Adventures” and it was a Supes day. The episode he saw was about Braniac’s first encounter with big ol’ Blue and he noticed that the plot had striking similarities to the screenplay that Kevin wrote for the now-dead “Superman Lives”. It included Braniac meeting with Luthor and Superman learning about his past and the destruction of Krypton. Kind of interesting…We wonder if this was the impetus for Kev’s screenplay, or came AFTER it was written?
  • Finally today, Vincent Pereira tells us that this bastard over at The Casting Couch NEVER returned his master beta tape of “A Better Place” (apparently, the guy, Edgar Morroquin, basically steals ALL movies he gets for his own personal collection)…PLUS the guy never paid Flixtour for bringing in the film. What a bum! View Askew is taking action against this place, but all we can say is, boycott the Casting Couch in San Francisco. This guy is no good.
