  • Dynamite Entertainment presents Kevin Smith’s “Green Hornet”, issue #6, in stores today. They say:

      We’re in the home stretch of the biggest superhero launch of the year as Dynamite continues to proudly present Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet! The dark forces that took the life of the original Green Hornet now set their sights on young Britt Reid Jr as he takes up his father’s war on crime. With the help of the Kato family Britt begins to grow into his role as hero. But a larger, more sinister game is afoot, one that could cost our new Green Hornet not only his life, but the lives of everyone in Century City.From the unproduced screenplay by fan-favorite Kevin Smith, featuring the careful had of Phil Hester and artist Jonathan Lau! And check out that strong of all-star covers!

    The Stash will have signed copies for ya, or of course, you can always pick up a reader copy at your local shop/retailer, then do like we do — Get a spare signed copy for safe keeping.

    While the book represents Kevin’s vision for the Hornet on the big screen, you can now also see how Columbia Pictures decided to go with their version — The first two official promo images were released yesterday, quickly followed by the film’s official trailer today. We love Rogen, but we’re also stoked to see how Christoph Waltz takes on the role of the baddie.

  • Malcolm Ingram’s “Bear Nation” premiered at the SXSW 2010 film festival, and Malcolm Ingram had a few words to say about it on the scene. Check out the trailer HERE. Plug In Music also has a nice piece on the band “The Order of Good Cheer”, whose track “Be My Cub” serves as a theme for the film.
  • FilmSnobbery Live recently interviewed producer Bob Hawk, who is often credited as the reason “Clerks” got seen by the Weinstein’s and thus the world. Check out the full length video via blip.tv. Bob had a ton to say, and chatted for a full hour and 4 minutes – Lots about Clerks and Kevin, and just overall interesting info. In August, they’ll sit down with director Malcolm Ingram — We’ll let you know when you can catch that, as well.
  • Finally today, due to Banky’s classic “Archie” comics rant in “Chasing Amy”, we found this panel particularly amusing. See ya next time…
