• Holiday weekends are always tough with family commitments and other things getting in the way of updates, but we did manage to get fairly caught up today with a few things, so read on for lots of coolness. ALSO, we WILL have a Clerks DVD review added as soon as possible, so look for that. We need the day to do a comparison against the laserdisc, so it will take some time to compile. So, dear readers, scroll on…We’ll talk to ya later.

• Been wondering what’s going with release dates on the latest Oni & DareDevil books? We took the time to check in on the latest status of View Askew comics with Joe at Oni Press, and Zee also elaborated with a post that Joe answered over at the WWWBoard. Here’s a rundown:

• The Mallrats comic is expected sometime early next year.
• The Bartleby/Loki One-shot: Hopefully in November.
• Bluntman & Chronic, Part II: Not scheduled, but it’ll definitely happen sometime.
• Jay & Silent Bob #4: This August.
• DareDevil #7: This week!

Also, we forgot to mention, in the latest previews: “Daredevil Visionaries: Kevin Smith” is listed. “Collecting “Guardian Devil,” the critically acclaimed eight issue saga by Kevin Smith, Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti.”. The Format: A 192 page trade paperback (with new cover by Joe Q. & Jimmy P.). The Cost: $19.95. For Kevin to be considered a “visionary” before his run is even complete is quite an honor. This puts him upside writers like Frank Miller and such. Very cool. Anyone would be crazy not to order the book at this price. It’s been an excellent series thus far, and to have it all in one nice package would be a real treat.
