Commentary…

April 8th @ 11:52 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Just wanted to check in and say a few words, though we’ll have another pre-holiday update or two for you as well. As you can see, Jay & Bob have gotten into the holiday spirit as well up in the corner there, with thanks again to Matt Sullivan for another fun creation (lots more to come!).

There’s a lot of coolness abound lately, so it seemed appropriate to say a few words this evening. First off, anyone see that Spiderman 2 trailer that aired during The Apprentice tonight? WOW. Does that flick look killer or WHAT? By the time you’re reading this, the trailer’s probably making the internet rounds. WATCH IT. With Kill Bill 2 just a week away, commercials and trailers are popping up everywhere, but that’s something that we’re trying to avoid. No need to spoil a flick that’s so close. Early word has it as being amazing. Thank you, Quentin Tarantino, for making movies. And on the music side of things, if you want a rockin’ disc, check out “Get Born” from Jet. It’s been in the CD player for months and it’s tough to switch out. Just some good ‘ol fashioned rock music there. Great stuff.

So, we hope you’re enjoying the new site, and that your browsers have gotten used to the graphics, thus speeding up your load times and such. All the little bugs that were lurking about should be squashed, so you should be seeing the site as close to intentions at this point. If there’s anything majorly wrong, be sure to let us know. New features are being worked on and will arrive in the coming weeks.

Oh, and a quick word about the Hornet site — Yes, the stories are the same as the front page here. For now, the site will store only Hornet stories, but that doesn’t mean they won’t show up here on the front page as well. We’re sharing one big database for everything. As the film draws closer though, we’ll have a lot more exclusive material over there.

Alright, just one bit of news to share this evening, so let’s get to that…

Kevin NOT Coming To WizardWorld Philly…

April 8th @ 11:46 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Occasionally, we gotta bring some bad news up here at the site, and sadly this is one of those days. Unfortunately, due to an incredibly busy schedule, Kevin won’t be able to make a trip in for Wizard World Philadelphia this year. This isn’t a cancellation, mind you, he was never on the books, but many (including us) hoped he’d be back for another Q&A, signing, or the like.

Kevin’s been running around more these past couple months than he’s ever before, so we can certainly understand him lightening up the schedule a bit as he focuses on writing Green Hornet and finishing up some comic projects. We’re sure you’ll understand, as well. However, View Askew fanboys out there may be pleased to know that lovely J&SBSB vet Eliza Dushku will attend the event on Saturday. Fans of Kev’s Daredevil run can also catch Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti throughout the weekend.

That being said, we’re not sure if the View Askew booth will be set up with swag at the con this year or not, but once we get that info, we’ll be certain to let you know. We’d say it’s very likely, at which case we may pop back there for a day or two and help sell some swag to ya’ll. Hope to see you there.

We’ll be back with more news tomorrow.
