* Here’s the trailer for the Green Lantern movie. I think it looks good as far as the notoriously unreliable medium of trailers goes. Iron Man In Space strikes me as the right tone to establish for civilian audiences.
* This is just a great interview with Lisa Hanawalt by Ken Parille. I had no idea she’d done a Boy’s Club tribute strip! One thing I’ve always wondered, and it’s one of the few questions Parille doesn’t ask, is why she publishes mainly in print vs. online. I feel like an I Want You weekly webcomic would get a lot of attention.
* Grant Morrison updates my pal Rick Marshall at MTV Splash Page on several of his film projects, including We3, Joe the Barbarian, and the BBC series he’s working on with Stephen Fry.
* Christopher Allen on the Blakean blend of innocence and experience that is CF’s Powr Mastrs Vol. 1.
* Benjamin Marra draws ROM Spaceknight! Draws the shit out of him, too.
* Michael DeForge’s new comic Spotting Deer made me a bit nauseous just now.
* The shirt Simon Pegg is wearing in the poster for his new movie Paul features the Death Ray from Daniel Clowes’s Eightball #23, which leads me to ask the question, why doesn’t Fantagraphics make t-shirts? Is it a hassle to get the individual creators to go along with it? Did they used to do it in the ’90s and got burned when their t-shirt distributor went under? Because seriously, wouldn’t a line of Maggie and Hopey shirts basically be like backing up the money truck to the Fanta front door?
* If Bruce Baugh keeps WoWblogging, I’ll keep linking to it. Right now I’m digging the way the game’s makers are doing a lot of prelude-to-Cataclysm stuff, like it’s a big comic-book event or something.
* Finally, am I the only person who was at times genuinely disturbed by this gallery of children’s drawings of the monsters of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos? They look like something the police ask a victimized child to draw to describe their attacker or work through their feelings, or like the automatic drawing a child in a horror movie might do of the entity only she can see, so far anyway.

Knowing that you’re on a Batman jag at the moment, Sean, I’m urging you to go and have a read of Andrew Hickey’s thoughts on RoBW6. Annos are fun and kinda useful, but Andrew’s post goes rather deeper in a way I’d think you’d dig
Thanks! Ah, but see, I feel that victory over depression is a mug’s game since we have so much to be depressed about. 🙂
1) That GL trailer is just fine. I think Blake comes across pretty awful in it, but we’re talking, what?, fifteen-thirty seconds of screen time? GL suit’s growing on me, though.
2) That ROM pic is epic. I’d hang that on my wall above the computer in a heartbeat.
The Marra Rom pic is too awesome
