Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - Official Trailer (via UniversalPictures)
New trailer for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Secret confession: I wasn’t really a fan of this book. It’s done well enough, but the art style always kept me away for some reason - I couldn’t make it and the story match in my head. At any rate, the movie looks really, really good. And I love how Edgar Wright has used motion graphics to incorporate sound effects into the movie. It’s a neat way to interpret a comic book on the big screen. Obviously, it wouldn’t work in a movie like Iron Man that requires a certain degree of verisimilitude, but in a quirky story like Scott Pilgrim, it’s fun and inventive.
A friend of Sara’s named Baxter got a page from Craig Thompson’s great graphic novel, Blankets on his arm!
Hulk by *Fonografiks on deviantART
Really awesome treatment of Incredible Hulk as an old book cover. I love this.
This is becoming a really nerdy hobby.
“Casanova” returns from Icon this year as well, first in trade form with remastered colors and new material before the Matt Fraction, Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon series starts up again with new stories.”

New comic coming from Rick Remender, the genius who turned Punisher into Frankenstein! Don’t know what it’s about, but that’s a beautiful promo piece right there!
Okay, this one HAS to be about Casanova. We’ll know by the time the weekend’s over!
Gughk!
I’m guessing hoping this is good news for Casanova fans!
I’m not a big fan of the Punisher. He’s one of those characters that can be used to great effect by a good writer, but on the surface there’s just not much about him that appeals to me.
That being said, I’ve really enjoyed Rick Remender’s take on him in the new Punisher series. Especially the bit where Punisher’s arsenal is made up of lost and discarded weapons that once belonged to various super heroes and villians.
The latest issue of Punisher takes the character in a really fun (but I assume temporary) new direction. Basically after a life ending injury (decapitation) the Punisher is brought back as a Frankenstein-style monster by a group of Marvel’s monster characters. Nothing about that says it should work. It’s kind of a little too high-concept and the kind of thing you expect all the oh-my-god-ninjas-vikings-robots-zombies-oh-my-god crowd to get all frothy about. But rather than spend time telling you AWESOME!!! it would be if Punisher was a Frankenstein monster, Remender just writes and interesting story with a nice hook and lots of nods to Marvel history.
And the art’s by Tony Moore of Walking Dead fame so it’s really, really good obviously.
13 Days of Halloween continues! This time with a little Rockwell meets Spider-Man.
The word “nurp” colored purple and used as a sound effect for twisting someone’s nipples. Genius. Way to go comic books!
