The Big News Is Coming…MONDAY!

  • Yup, that’s right — And if you’re REALLY intuitive, you might be able to figure out what it already is! But hey, by the time you’re reading this, you can wait another DAY or so…Can’t you? Here’s Kevin with the official word:
THE BIG NEWS…

…will hit this board on Monday.

But there’s a hint of it out there, already. Would-be Sherlocks might be able to piece two and two together based on an article that ran in one of this country’s biggest newspapers earlier this week.

Feel free to start with the guessing! We’ll of course have the official answer for ya, right here, on Monday. Until then, be good.

  • This Wizard sidebar, which you can get a better view by clicking, announces that Kevin & Joe indeed have talked about bringing another superhero back from obscurity in a new comic book project in a year or so. After the amazing “Guardian Devil” run (which we still think could somehow be worked into an excellent DD 2 film, with the proper amount of flashbackage), we’d be the first in line to pick up a new book featuring Kevin’s words and Joe’s awesome artwork. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one, for sure…

  • We dunno if this was mentioned elsewhere, but it’s the first we’ve heard: Apparently, at last week’s Nuart “Clerks” screening, the theater manager announced that he hoped to be doing the screening (and possibly Q&A thing) with the instant classic, “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back”, the first week in May. Man, if this coincides with the Stash Bash for the West Coast store opening, that’s gonna be SOME party.
  • Kevin’s currently appearing briefly in an episode of “Super Secret Movie Rules” on VH-1, commenting on “The Big Lebowski”.
