“ Having not worked with DC stuff yet but just reading it, I love that anything can happen on the next page and it doesn’t necessarily — well, to say it doesn’t make sense sounds bad, but like, Wonder Woman can come home and have gorillas in her living room and you go, ‘OK, cool.’ If Professor X comes into his room and there’s gorillas in there, that’s going to be weird ”
Brian Reed on the real difference between Marvel and DC during the “Bendis vs Johns” panel (aka the first ever joint Marvel/DC panel) at Wizard World.
Ten hours of standing and waiting around finally led-up to the Asian premiere of Gotham Knight at the SG Comic-Con today, which, was also watched standing up. But whatever, it was so worth it. My feet are still sore right now but the kickassery of these 6 anime shorts are something to behold. A convention setting is obviously not the most conducive viewing environment because its noisy and busy and tiring and you can barely hear the dialogue but you know what, it STILL blew my mind.
The Brian Azzarello written “Working Through Pain” was by far the best of the six short films. It’s a really quiet piece, similar in themes and structure to Firefly’s “Out of Gas.” As I said the dialogue was hard to catch but it still managed to blow me away. Definitely need to buy the DVD. It comes out July 8th and it’ll come with 4 classic Batman: TAS episodes attached with it too. One of them is “Heart of Ice” (see #4 in my Top 5 Batman Stories)! Can you tell I’m super excited?
Gary Erskine was the only semi-big-name at SG Comic-Con. He was promoting his work on Dan Dare which Garth Ennis (!) is currently writing now. Gary also inks for Army@Love which is fantastic series you all should read.
This Hellboy costume made me laugh. Singapore Comic-Con turned out to be more fun than I expected.
I am about halfway through this book and I’m just enthralled. It creates so much tension for something I already know the ending to. Spoiler alert: Lincoln dies! Also, the book’s narration in my head sounds like the narrator for The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford. That guy is like the Richard Attenborough of historical crime now.
To celebrate The Dark Knight, I will be presenting to you my five favourite Batman stories of all time. Needless to say I’m insanely excited for the movie and this is my little way of focusing that enthusiasm a little.
Although this is mostly a self-indulgent little list, I hope that maybe you’ll read this and be interested enough to go and pick up one or two of the stories and check them out for yourselves.
Sigur Ros vs. My Spell Checker
If you’re a Sigur Ros fan like me and have had real life conversations like: “Dude that new Sigur Ros abum (með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust) which I can’t pronounce is so awesome!” then you’ll find this helpful.
