* The Divine Invasion is the website put together to auction off art and comics to help pay for Dylan Williams’s cancer treatments, and it’s quite striking. It’s moving to see what a wide range of comic book people have contributed, from Periscope to PictureBox, from Matt Fraction to Michael DeForge. That money is still needed, so please bid if you see something you like.
* Here are your Ignatz Award winners.
* Top Shelf’s holding its annual $3 Sale as we speak. At the link you’ll find my recommendations for how to spend your money. Kolbeinn Karlsson’s The Troll King for $3 is basically the deal of the year.
* Tom Devlin spotlights Pure Pajamas, the new collection of comics from Marc Bell. Marc Bell comics are by far the best Marc Bell anythings, so I’m excited to read this. Tom reports that Bell may be working on a graphic novel for Spring 2013, too.
* Kiel Phegley interviews Jaime Hernandez in video form.
* Highly relevant to my interests: The Descent/Doomsday director Neil Marshall will be directing an episode of Game of Thrones Season Two. Oh, indeed.
* Brian Chippendale reviews Justice League #1, Animal Man #1, and New Avengers Annual #1 as only he can. UPDATE: Brian says the post wasn’t finished and went up accidentally; expect a reboot sometime next week.
* Scott Tobias’s New Cult Canon column on Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead for the Onion AV Club is good, but the best part is this line about what Wright and Pegg do: “If you ever wonder what’s missing from a Kevin Smith film, watch one of theirs.”
* God, I love it when Dave Kiersh posts his old comics.
* I’m excited to (one day, probably years from now at this rate) see David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method. Kiera Knightley looks older and somewhat fleshier and kind of tired in this promotional picture, which as it turns out is a very good look for her.

I dont see Chippendale’s post at his blog. Did he retract his review? Mysteriouso Marvelous Coma!
mistake post. i was messing around with the new blogger layouts and got confused. Thought i was saving something but i was posting something. Fake out. total wipe out. tripped down the stairs. head over heals. through the frozen lake. trapped under ice. 4 horseman. one. Master of Puppets was pulling my strings.
Yeah, but I really really really want to know what you think of these comics! couldnt you just make all your thoughts public, so sean can link to them and I can read them and be amused, amazed, amusazed?
Give me another week and my thoughts will be spread upon the screen. Sean saw a real post, just not a finished one……I’ve been trying to tweet all my thoughts on everything but my fingers only move so fast….
The Justice League post is now living and breathing
