  • CORRECTION: The story we ran last update concerning Chris Rock’s online comedy bit was concerning the WB’s The God & Devil show, NOT God, The Devil, & Bob. Our mistake.
  • Variety reports that, after six months of discussion, Columbia has decided to pass on developing the Daredevil movie. The flick will most likely be shopped around to other studios now. Still no involvement from Kev on this, folks, but we’ll let ya know if that changes at all. The next long-awaited issue of Marvel Knights’ DareDevil, #11, hits shelves next week.
  • Speaking of the masked one, here’s some info on that Entertainment Weekly blurb on the DD paperback:
DD IN EW! The excellent Entertainment Weekly magazine has recently increased their coverage of comic books… which makes Your Man a happy camper. The latest issue runs a positive review of the DAREDEVIL VISIONARIES: KEVIN SMITH trade paperback. Here’s what Jeff Jensen had tosay about the red-hot story from Marvel Knights: “Hollywood’s most famous comic book fan, writer-director of Clerks and Dogma, got a crack at writing them in 1998 with this relaunch of Marvel’s blind, billy-club-throwing Man Without Fear. Now collected in paperback, Smith’s saga has a faith-doubting Daredevil who unravels a bloody conspiracy involving a mysterious child who may be the Second Coming or the Antichrist… VISIONARIES is a gripping and even thoughtful yarn… to put it in critical jargon Smith knows well: thumbs up.” And a big “thumb’s up” to you too, EW!”

Have a good one. Only 2 days ’til the weekend!

  • As you probably know, Kevin’s next public appearance is on the schedule for a week from today, April the 12th. We’ve got a few more details for you now. It’s happening at Tulane University, Mcalister Auditorium, and starts at 7:30 PM with a screening of Dogma. Right after the movie, Kevin will go on (a bit after 9:30 PM). Admission is a mere 2 bucks, and trust us, it’s worth it.

You’ll hear a ton of humorous anecdotes, more than likely see the second episode of the Clerks cartoon series (though if they’re showing Dogma that will shorten Kev’s speaking time), and Kevin almost always stays after his appearances to take the time to not only sign autographs, but chat with each and every fan that’s got the patience to hang out. Be sure and pack the room!
