Carnival of souls

* Stop your grinnin’ and drop your linen—there’s a veritable bumper crop of new Kevin Huizenga comics, including the new Or Else and the debut of Fight or Run, available for purchase at this weekend’s SPX, where I and my wallet will be in attendance. Good stuff from PictureBox, too, including Powr Mastrs Vol. 2.

* Looks like Zack Snyder did one of those Fellowship of the Rings deals where a goodly chunk of Watchmen footage was screened for critics, to seemingly uniformly positive reactions. The movie’s gonna be 2 hours and 43 minutes long or so, while the length of Dr. Manhattan’s visible cock was unverified at presstime. AICN’s Moriarty has a lengthy review.

* Speaking of Snyder, at the Watchmen sneak peek he revealed he is in fact planning a 300 sequel based on an as-yet-unfinished, and most likely un-started, new Frank Miller graphic novel about a subsequent battle between the Greeks and Persians. I’m looking forward to both.

* Joe “Jog” McCulloch seems less high on Batman #680 than I was–I really quite liked it; the sinister ambiance of that comic was really something–but you should read his review anyway.

* Finally, Happy 40th Birthday, Night of the Living Dead!
