First up, a Two-Disc Special Edition DVD that we were pleased as punch to see on the News Askew office desks today — “A Threevening With Kevin Smith”. It hits stores on Tuesday the 21st – It’s hitting our DVD players tonight. Sure, we were there in person, but we can’t wait to see it all cut together. The disc art is sweet and promises over 5 hours of uncut material. Goodbye, sleep. We’ll have an advanced review and new screenshots before the disc hits the streets. Thanks to our friends at Genius for sending these on. Wanna see it early? More details in an upcoming story. Read on.

Then, of course, there is the View Askew event of 2008 – “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” hits theaters in North America on Friday, October 31st. Be there. We’re smelling a record-breaking weekend here.

Finally, rounding out the big three, early November brings Kevin’s long awaited return to comics, with art by Walt Flanagan – “Batman: Cacophony”. Not only is it the first time Kevin has written for the Batman character, the book returns his unique Green Arrow villain. We’re gonna be scooping up variant covers galore where we can. A few more details on the books in a story below.

Kevin’s latest blog entry today has a few words on everything. Among the post, he reveals that we’ll see him on The Tonight Show this Friday, October 17th. The film’s got a few premiere events happening next week as well. Here’s a sample:

We’re inching ever closer to that October 31st release date, folks. I’m doing “The Tonight Show” Friday, then the junket all weekend, and the Premiere on Monday the 20th at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. After that, I head east for some Devils’ games and a NY premiere at CMJ on the 23rd, then a homecoming of sorts in Pittsburgh, where we’ll debut the flick we shot there last winter. Then, back home for release week.

Meanwhile, in the midst of all this “Zack and Miri” stuff, I forgot this



was coming out as well – That’s the birthday Q&A from last year’s Count Basie show. Hits stores a week from today.

And for you comic book folks, this



comes out at the start of November.

Big month around here. Hope ya’ll can come out and support the flick
