- HUGE congrats to all-around nice guy Jimmy Palmiotti!!! He took home the BEST INKER OF THE YEAR AWARD for his work on DareDevil at the Wizard Awards. No tracer jokes here, folks, Jimmy’s doing some DAMN fine work. We can’t wait to see more. Kudos!!!
- “Video Store” magazine printed yet another glowing review of the Mallrats DVD. By the way, the DVD IS in stock at DVD Empire as well as Amazon.Com, and we hear it’s starting to pop up in more plentiful numbers at local retail outlets. Keep searching, folks! Don’t miss your chance to own the best DVD on the market. Anyway, here’s their capsule review (our FULL REVIEW is still available in case ya missed it):
Universal delivers the goods on this disc, with an excellent anamorphic widescreen picture and 5.1 surround sound quality, nearly an hour of outtakes and deleted footage, stills, bios, a production featurette and even a funny hidden “Easter Egg” or two.The audio commentary track that includes director Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck is particulary funny, with video clips of the commentators in action available during ceratin portions, accessible by using the angle button.Like the movie or not, the content alone makes this one of the most enjoyable discs of the year. Plus, you get Ben Affleck, Claire Forlani, Joey Lauren Adams (the squeaky-voiced girl from Chasing Amy), and an appearance by the ever-popular Silent Bob and Jay, recurring characters in Smith’s films. Fans of Smith rejoice–this is an outstanding collector’s edition DVD. -Bill Hunt

Jay & Silent Bob #4, the final issue in the series, hitsstands on its own towards the end of August (No official date from Oni has yet been given to us).
- The Unofficial Jason Lee Site just received some “top secret” info onthe upcoming Cameron Crowe flick (Lee‘s current project). Surf over to read all about it.
- Clerks is mentioned in an online poll over at BERSERKER (the trivia game). They ask which flick’s better: Clerks, Empire, or The Goonies. As much as we were (and continue to be) BIG Goonies fans,we’re hoping Clerks can pull this one off. Just because.
- FYI – The Affleck film “The Yards” we discussed yesterday is most likely the codename for his more recent project,the new Pearl Street Productions feature called “The Third Wheel”.
- A wonderful review of Daredevil #7 has been posted on 4-Color Review, a site that contains reviews, message boards,and columns on comics. They give the ish 5 out of 5 possible stars and refer to Kevin as one of the best writers currently in comics. Check it out under the New Reviews section.
