Carnival of souls

* Joe Quesada talks digital royalties with Kiel Phegley. Kiel swings by the comments of my related post on Robot 6 to explain why he asked what he asked and didn’t ask what he didn’t ask. Warning: horrifying fanboy entitlement ahead!

* Also on Robot 6 today: Tom Brevoort vs. Wizard.

* My chum Jason Adams saw Neil Marshall’s Centurion last night–JEALS–and begins his review thusly:

I went into Centurion last night with my friend Sean’s Manly Movie Mamajama series on my brain, and ended up judging it by those exacting standards. As such, it’s pretty successful.

SOLD!

* I was travelling today so I haven’t had a chance to sink my teeth into Jog’s interview with Bryan Lee O’Malley…raincheck!

* Ditto (for the most part) Matt Seneca’s look at Josh Cotter’s masterpiece Driven by Lemons. I still think it’s a little hard to believe that my two favorite comics of last year, this and Al Columbia’s Pim & Francie, were both the products of debilitating mental illness.

* I got a kick out of this Cracked list of 5 ridiculous things guns do in movies that they don’t do in real life. I wonder how many untold millions of dollars have been thrown away on the great silencer scam. (Via Jason Aaron.)

* Wait, Jeffrey Brown is illustrating that Paul Is Undead Beatles-zombie book?

* Really digging the look of the cover for Geoff Grogan’s next project, Mystique. No, not that Mystique. Well, not quite.

* I cannot in any way endorse the writing attached to i09’s gallery of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe concept art by Earl Norem — it’s frankly shameful — but I sure as shit can endorse the gallery itself. (Via Kiel Phegley.)

* I can’t post Rickey Purdin’s Matt Furie/Boy’s Club fanart on this blog because I need to keep it a vomit-free zone for the Missus, but it’s somethin’ special.
