  • Zee’s back with a summary of the Kevin & View Askew stuff you’ll find in this month’s new issue of Wizard. And yet again, there’s a ton:
Page 24 – A quote by Kevin from early in the year about the impending birth of his baby : ‘”The wife loved the Harley character when I first started subjecting here to episodes of ‘Batman.’ For that reason alone we are praying for a girl.”

Page 32 – A picture of Jay and Silent Bob from the cover of J & SB #2. the aritcle itself is a profile on Oni, and of course mentions the fact the Kevin is a big part of that companies success.

Page 34 – Not really a specific Kevin story, but Wizard gave a thumbs down to Marvel for letting Mysterio die in Dardevil, but then having him reappear right after in the other books They even add the following comment (which seems decidedly pro-Kevin): “Note to Marvel: Dudes, the guy’s dead.”

Page 65 – This page shows that Kevin has definitely become established in the comic community. While profiling some up and coming comic book pros, J. Michael Straczynski ( of Babylon 5 and Rising Stars fame) is listed as the “next Kevin Smith.”

Page 102-103 – The big Dogma article that you guys already mentioned, including two pictures (Loki and Bartleby & Rufus, Serendipity and jay).

Page 145 – Kevin drops to #6 on the Wizard top 10 writers list.

Page 155 – A quick interview with Kevin. Here’s a few snippets:

“…I’ve had fans shake my hand, then tell me they’ve just given me one [a stink palm] and act like I’m supposed to have a good sense of humor about it because it’s in the movie”

“They’re [the sex stories from Chasing Amy] all made up.”

“I swear he [Ben Affleck] tried to get tongue in there [at the MTV Movie Awards] , but then again, he swears it was me.

“Salma’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and I can’t imagine anyone being that much smarter than her.”

“No ad libbing. I hate ad libbing.”

Page 166 – There is a fake cover for Green Arrow #1 which is written by Kevin. It’s titled “GA & Silent Harper” and has Silent Bob with a Green Arrow beard along with Jay posing as his sidekick. Very cool. Someone send us a scan!
