  • We’re happy to announce a 10-issue hardbound collection of Kevin’s Green Arrow run, “Quiver” is now available from the Stash and in comic book shops everywhere! Here’s details:
Writer/Director Kevin Smith delivers an awe-inspiring tale which resurrects DC Comics’ original Emerald Archer – the legendary Green Arrow! Stunningly rendered by the top talents of Phil Hester and Ande Parks, Green Arrow: Quiver follows Oliver Queen through man’s most uncharted realms – life, death, and back to life again. This deluxe hardcover edition collects the first ten issues of the best selling Green Arrow monthly series, includes the original painted covers by Matt Wagner and features a new introduction by Kevin Smith.

The book costs a mere $24.95 from the Stash, and is an excellent way to catch up on the story if you missed some or all of the first issues. Quiver marks another excellent superhero arc for Kevin, and this hardcover is a must-have for any View Askew comic collection.

  • A music director for a small radio station has alerted us that a new country artist named Brett James from Oklahoma City put out his debut single recently, titled “Chasing Amy”. No real relation to the film itself, though.
