• Askew alums continue to fare very well in the television world. UPN’s “Everybody Hates Chris” has also just been given a full season order according to the Hollywood Reporter. Congrats, Chris!
• And just a final note today — Those of you who know who “Wallace and Gromit” are will already be in line — But seriously…”Curse of the Were-Rabbit” lives up to the hype. It’s a movie that young and old will enjoy, even if you’ve never seen any of their previous adventures. Either way, it’s well worth your box office cash this weekend. Trust us.

• Man, we’re excited to see Kevin returning to the comics realm, and every tidbit that comes out just ramps that up even more. You’veseen the pencils, NOW take a look at Team Dodson’s beautiful finished product — The full color covers of Spidey/Black Cat issues 4, 5, and 6! The Dodsons truly are among the elite working in the industry today, and these covers speak for themselves.

But hey, let’s just ramp up that excitement even MORE, shall we? Wait until you read what Kevin has to say about the end of the series:

Here they are: the three covers to issues 4, 5, and 6 of “Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do”. Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff.

As with most comic book covers, the image up front doesn’t really tell the story inside. These covers aren’t spoilers at all; they reveal nothing about the plot. As with the covers of issues 1, 2, and 3, they’re just striking, iconic images of the titular (pun intended) character. So for those who speculated, based on the cover of ish 5, that Nightcrawler “saves” Felicia from the events at the end of ish 3, all I can say is “You’re not even close.”

The Marvel Must-Have that collects issues 1, 2, and 3 hits the stores in November. Issues 4 and 5 will ship bi-weekly in December, and the unforgivably late mini wraps with ish 6, hitting shelves in January.

Once again, I can’t apologize enough for how late this whole series has been. I’d completely understand some folks not wanting to bother with the rest of the story at this point. However (and this is not meant to incentivize; it’s more just a heads-up for hardcore comics fans), if you’re a Spidey-verse follower, nothing can prepare you for the Marvel U-altering turn-of-events that happen in ish 6. Expect some major mainstream press on that one, as well as “wall-book” mark-up prices.

So there you have it, folks, Christmas comes a bit early, then extends a bit late with what sounds to be an amazing issue #6. Kevin had some fun with the Marvel-U with the groundbreaking Daredevil: Guardian Devil series, now let’s see what he’s got up his sleeve for this one. The man hits you with a comic book sucker punch like no other. We’re waiting…impatiently!

• Okay, folks — This one is gonna floor ya. It’s truly a crowning achievement of editing genius, obviously an extended labor of love, and, dare we say, another View Askew first. This new Clerks 2 teaser does what you may think impossible – Breaks the profanity sound barrier. Well, if such a thing existed, anyway. We gotta assume that every single obscenity from the film is included in this clip, which, almost certainly, has to set some sort of record for the amount of profanity in such a short span of time (yeah, we’re even looking your way, “The Aristocrats”). So, what can we say, but watch, listen, and enjoy. And if you’re at work, we STRONGLY suggest strapping on some headphones. Enjoy. All courtesy the new Clerks 2 Vlog website. In Quicktime .MOV format only.

• Filming hasn’t even started on “Clerks 2” yet, and we can already confess – This new Video Blog is an addiction. The latest installment is the best yet, and takes you right into the stylist’s studio as Kevin and Jay get their manes prepared for filming. Yes, folks, movie magic as you have never seen it before. What’s going to be fun about this series, it seems, is the fact that it’s going to go in unexpected directions. We won’t be seeing the typical side of making a feature, but rather, some stuff that you’ve never seen put to film before. We’re hoping this is just a taste of a much larger collection of footage for a future documentary, as we’re betting it would be a classic.

You can, of course, watch this flick in a large or small format over at the Clerks 2 blog site, with Apple’s Quicktime. The quality is excellent, and for those of you with high speed lines, the startup on even the largest files should be almost instant. The “Train Wreck” saga continues, as we present “Revenge of the Mullet”!

• We’ll make this short and sweet. Kevin fielded a couple random questions regarding Clerks 2 that had some interesting, telling answers.

First off, Clerks 2 will have NO SCORE! We think that’s just perfect, especially if they go for an all album-oriented soundtrack throughout the film, much like the original film. We’re hoping for a lineup of new talent, as well as a return of some of the classic artists who helped make that first soundtrack such a success. Let’s see what we can dig up for ya.

And second, where will the film debut? Turns out the aim is the festival of festivals, Cannes! This would make a lot of sense for the film, given the original was there over 10 years ago at the same time. We’re sure they’ll make it, especially with Kevin and Scott’s speedy and diligent editing talents on board.

• We know that you LA west coasters were disappointed by the lack of Veronica Mars last night, as the Angels game prevented the show from airing. It WILL air on the west coast at 8 PM on Saturday if you wanna catch it then. In the meantime, why not take a look at our clippage right here?

Hot off the presses, we’re proud to present the full footage of Kevin’s guest shot on “Veronica Mars”! While not an HD capture, we think you’ll be ok with the quality, enough until we can get something digitally sourced, anyway. Again, we remind you, we’re using the DIVX format to keep the size down — You can download a free player for any operating system at the Official Divx Site. Think of it as the MP3 of video. Clean, compressed, quality for your PC.

Kevin surprised us by appearing in not just one, but TWO scenes of episode 2 of Veronica’s second season. The first season is available on DVD this Tuesday, by the way. Fans and critics hail it as one of the best on the tube right now.

In the first clip, you’ll see Kev’s initial appearance on the program — On television. The second scene, where Kevin and Kristen Bell (Veronica) share the screen, is where Kevin hits his stride. Watch him joke about weight, Goth kids, serve a slushie, and even do a little flirting. It’s another great turn for him, and runs a full 2 and a half minutes.

Oh, and by the way, folks, if you want a nice clean alternative to Divx that works on ANY system, and plays a TON of formats, check out the VLC Media Player. You’ll dig it. It’s free, too.
