I thought about being a journalist dick and leaving this up, but I’d rather see an old friend succeed. If you’re reading this, you know who you are and good luck!!!
(Before this week’s column, I’d like to say that I got the first third of the Assholes #2 script… WOW. Hysterical stuff. I can’t wait to draw it).
ANYWAYS….
The Sopranos ending — cut to black — couldn’t have been better foreshadowing for the writers’ strike of 2007. Read the rest of this entry
Last month, Janeane Garofalo half-apologized for liking a comic book (sorry, “graphic novel”) on an episode of “Real Time With Bill Maher.”
To whom is she apologizing?
Certainly not her Hollywood bosses, who circle comic book conventions like vultures every year. Certainly not her fans — she starred in “Mystery Men,” loosely based on “Flaming Carrot Comics” back in the 1990s. Certainly not every college girl who fell in love with Seth Cohen, the comic book-loving schlub on “The O.C.”
Okay, maybe that’s overreaching — for everyone who bought a ticket to see Spider-Man 3 (and I do mean everyone), only a small fraction will buy a Spider-Man comic book.

Al,
Hey, it’s Josh. How are you? Pumped for “The Dark Knight” next summer? I know I am.
But, I have to say; I’m a bit worried for Superman. Screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris just bailed. The next sequel’s due in 2009, and with the impending writer’s strike… well, there’s cause for concern!
Luckily I know one writer with some great ideas for the character.
