- A new Daredevil from Kevin? Maybe! Check out this excerpt from an interview that Russell Lissau conducted with Marvel Knights editor Stuart Moore:
RL: When I last spoke with Joe, he said there might be a Kevin Smith-written “Daredevil†hardcover. What’s new there?
SM: That’s a speculative project at this point. Both Kevin and Joe want to do it, but they’re both insanely busy. Obviously I’ll be happy to stick my nose in and “ooh†and “ah†over the pages whenever it comes about.

- News Askew reader & View Askew fan Ryan McLelland’s new book, “Still Waiting / Wise Intelligence: Two Screenplays†was released today. One’s a crass comedy, other one’s a drama, four years in the making, finally coming out in one book for all to read. The book features an intro snippet that features how his first screenplay came about. From the intro:
My buddy and I were invited to a sneak preview of New Jersey prodigy Kevin Smith’s new movie, Chasing Amy. Kevin Smith has always been an idol of mine. For years, working late nights at a crappy video store, my co-workers and I would throw on Clerks night after night, relishing at its brilliance. The movie was great for 3 reasons (1) It really showed the crap you went through in a dead-end job like a convenience store or video store (2) It WAS Jersey. All those curses, vulgar material, just the way people spoke to one another, the movie captured New Jersey attitude at its finest and put it on film. The movie might have been “original†to some, but for me, it was everyday Jersey life and (3) It was made by a guy in Jersey! An everyday guy who worked in the convenience store, wrote a script, raised money, and filmed his own movie. After meeting Kevin, it gave me exactly what I needed, a jumpstart in my writing. And there, in Red Bank, New Jersey, my screenplay Wise Intelligence was born.
Read more about his book HERE or buy it online at the usual haunts.
