The Latest On Kev’s Comics…

  • Green Arrow continues going strong, but a few remaining projects are still nearing release, here’s the latest on a couple of them, thanks to recent AICN reports. We ran a recent story that Kevin would be involved in the “Heroes” book that Marvel’s releasing in the wake of the recent tragedy. However, his name seems absent whenever other sites have mentioned the book, so things may have changed. However, this AICN report seems more promising, and it says Kevin is working on a December shipping book called “Moment of Silence”:
The ‘Heroes’ benefit book will ship on October 17. After taking a look at the preview copy, I was absolutely blown away. On each image, I thought, ‘this is my favorite piece’ only to see something just as amazing when I turned the page. Because Marvel wanted to do something for the victims right away, the Heroes book was conceived. Conceptually, the book had to be more of a pin up book with text pieces in an effort to get it out as quickly as possible, but in December, they will be releasing ‘Moment of Silence’, which contains 4 short stories about the 9.11.01 events written by Brian Michael Bendis, Bill Jemas, Joe Quesada, and Kevin Smith and illustrated by Chuck Austin, Mark Bagley, Igor Kordey and John Romita Jr.

Also, those of you wondering on the status of the Bluntman & Chronic trade that links to the Jay & Bob flick will be interested to read this:

…The number 1 trade was the oft-delayed ‘Bluntman and Chronic’ which Valentino promised would be in stores by the time Jay and Silent Bob hits the ‘Previously viewed’ section in rental stores. The final statement Quesada read from Valentino’s email reminded audiences to think ‘Green’ and watch out for ‘Black Cats’, tongue in cheek references to Kevin Smith’s Green Arrow and upcoming Black Cat series. Joe ended the presentation by stating he wants to work for Image since they seem to be having a lot more fun.

Sounds like we’ll be waiting still a bit longer for that one.
