• Thanks to Marvel, we’re pleased to present the Spiderman/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do commercial teaser! This flashy little number was created to promote the book, and, due to last minute complications, didn’t get to air on The Tonight Show last night. Take a look for yourself right here, as Kevin’s next exciting comic book saga begins!

• Green Arrow #14 finally shipped to comic shops everywhere today! Those of you who have been waiting for the drama between the archer and new supervillian Onomatopoeia should be able to pick the book up very today.
• Congrats to Clerks co-creator Dave Mandel for making Entertainment Weekly’s “It List” – Dave and Steve’s Video GameExplosion made the IT Digital list. You can check out their show Thursday night (June 27) at 2:10 am ET/11:10 pm PT.
• Dogma begins airing on Comedy Central again next month, with a showing coming up on July 7th. Check your local listings, TV edits of Kev’s flicks are almost as much fun as the uncut.
• Finally today, check out an interview with the creator of the web View Askewniverse, Ming Chen himself, at this website.

• Tune in your TVs or set those VCR’s (or Tivos or whatever fancy gadgets you folks are using these days), as tonight marks the first time a guest will sit on the Tonight Show to promote a comic book. The comic? Spiderman/Black Cat Issue #1: The Evil That Men Do. The guest? None other than Kevin Smith himself! Tonight, Kev will not just walk in to introduce a short, but sit in the guest’s chair to promote the book. Tune in to see our favorite director and yours make TV history, tonight on NBC! And then, of course, pick up your issue #1’s tomorrow at comic shops everywhere.

• After posting the tentative street date for the “Evening With Kevin Smith” DVD yesterday, we were contacted by Columbia Tristar with the news that the disc, due to its sheer size and length of material, will likely take a bit longer to produce, but will be available sometime pre-Holidays. Kevin is currently working on a final edit with the producers of the set, which will take up TWO DISCS. We’ll keep you posted.

• Don’t forget to pick up your sure to be fast selling copies of Spiderman/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do #1, in your favorite local comic shops and newsstands on Wednesday the 26th! The book has, of course, been reviewed at The Fourth Rail, with 2 reviews HERE (7/10)and HERE (8/10). As usual, the book is well-received, though we’re hearing some rumblings of the content being a bit on the explicit side, which might spark the need for some shops to keep the book out of the kiddies’ hands. With the Spidey movie making the character this popular, though, we’re sure sales will still be great, and with Kevin on Leno to promote the book Tuesday nite (the first Tonight Show guest spot in history for a comic book, by the way), expect a lot of news.

• Early sources are indicating that Kevin’s long-awaited “An Evening With Kevin Smith” DVD, which compiles a bunch of his recent Q&A college tour sessions, will be available on DVD this October 22, 2002. There are no details on special features yet, but the program itself is rumored to run over THREE HOURS LONG — So, whether you’ve seen Kevin live or not, chances are this disc will cover the Kevin Q&A experience quite well. We’ll keep you posted on this exciting disc as we learn more.

• George Carlin’s updated timeline at his official site (georgecarlin.com) now indicates:

• Diamond is now previewing the t-shirts based on the Mallrats comic book covers. UK fans might also be interested in this page which advertises a pre-order for the UK version of Jay & Bob on DVD (not to mention season one of one of the best shows on TV last season, “24” — What a finale that show had!).
• Well, that Australian release of the Jay & Bob DVD is here (read a review if ya like) and, while not ALL the extras are on there, they DID get the commentary track, a rarity for that country.

• We’ve got the scans of the Affleck stuff from Bigraphy now, hopefully clear enough for you to read. Click above for larger versions.

• Speaking of that Biography magazine, a new shot (above) of Jason Lee and Julia Stiles from their upcoming “A Guy Thing” also appears in the issue.

• This site apparently allows you to make lego creations of your own virtually, which someone used to make a lego-like Jay & Bob (seen above).
• And don’t forget, Kevin on the Tonight Show for Black Cat/Spidey promo tomorrow night!

• Kevin, Jen, and Harley attended the Powerpuff Girls movie premiere last week, and WireImage yet again has a couple of nice shots of the them at their site.
• By far the most popular scoop today — The Daredevil teaser and official site www.thedaredevilmovie.com are now online. If you caught Minority Report this weekend, you may have seen it there as well. The flick definitely looks dark and rather cool, those with this early of a teaser it’s hard to say what’s to come. We’ll be lightly covering the film due to Affleck’s involvement and Kevin’s cameo, though not as extensively as, say, Jersey Girl. If you’ve missed any of the cool publicity shots from the film, this site seems to have a lot of them as well.
• Here’s the text from Jason Lee’s “It-List” blurb that appeared in this week’s Entertainment Weekly (mentioned earlier last week).
• We’ve also got the text of that excellent O’Halloran article we mentioned. Here’s a snippet:

Check the whole piece out HERE.

• Which recurring Kevin Smith character are you? Take this quiz and find out!
• The latest issue of Biography magazine features Affleck, with mentions of Mallrats, Chasing Amy, & Dogma. If anyone’s got scans or text of that stuff, please send it on.
• Fans of Joey Lauren Adams might want to check out a new page dedicated to her right HERE.
• Finally today, this local commercial for a used videogame store put out a HILARIOUS commercial that any fan of Clerks: The Cartoon just has to see. You’ll love it. Enjoy.

• We’ve been holding onto this one in hopes to learn more, but alas, it’s just going to be something that’s whispered about for a while — During Marvel’s talk at a recent comic show in the UK, Joe Quesada said that one of their editors is currently working with Kevin on a top secret project that ISN’T Spider-Man…and that’s all he would say. Could it be the much rumored Daredevil hardcover sequel to “Guardian Angel”? Time will tell, we’ll be watching for this one…

• Could this one be Kevin’s best selling project yet? It’s sure looking to be a cool book, and one you just can’t miss owning a copy of. If these 4 steamy pages don’t get ya wanting more, we’re not sure what will — “Spiderman/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do #1” hits store shelves everywhere next week. Story by, of course, Kevin Smith, and way cool artwork by Terry and Rachel Dodson. Thanks to Comics Continuum for these excellent captures.
