• 4-Day Memberships Are Sold Out!

  6 Nov 2009 | 9:00 am

  We said it would happen, and boy did it ever -- we've sold out of 4-Day Memberships both with and without Preview Night, the fastest we have in our history. But that doesn't mean you can't still get a membership to Comic-Con. We'll be selling One-Day Memberships for each day of the show in the near future...so stay tuned to our feeds (or now at Twitter) for announcements.

• In Memoriam - Shel Dorf

  5 Nov 2009 | 9:25 pm

  Shel Dorf's love of comic books and their creators had no equal. It was his appreciation of this art form and his keen foresight that helped to create what is Comic-Con. It is with a heavy heart that we -- the Board of Directors, Committee, Staff and Volunteers of Comic-Con -- mourn the passing or our dear friend Shel. Follow the link to read a tribute written by Shel's longtime friend R. C. Harvey (Comics Journal).

• Attendee Preview Night Memberships are Sold Out

  7 Oct 2009 | 10:30 am

  Because of the increasing number of attendees on Preview Night each year, we have decided to limit attendance for Preview Night in 2010. It is impossible to accommodate every person who registers for a four-day badge on Preview Night, so we made available four-day memberships with and without the Preview Night option. While no more Preview Night badges are currently available, regular four-day memberships are still available.

• Mail-In Form for Comic-Con 2010 4-Day Attendee Memberships

  1 Oct 2009 | 12:15 pm

  We've provided a downloadable PDF Multipurpose 4-Day Attendee Registration Form for those who'd like to register by mail with check, money order, or credit card. The 4-day membership form is valid only while Comic-Con 4-day memberships (with or without Preview Night access) are still available. Once they're sold out, the form is no longer valid and will be returned. Memberships are selling quickly, so if this is your preferred method of purchase, you should send it in FAST! Online purchase is still the quickest way to assure that you can purchase your 4-Day Membership with Preview Night.

Or Martian Manhunter? Or.....I digress.Here it is! A rather new edition to the hoodie collection, which I am not quite that certain who all is collecting these. However! Like the Batman Hoodie, this too has a cape! A CAPE, I Say! But if you look, this one does not have a mask!I think that I prefer one with the mask. Now if I could only get permission to buy one.

  Hey guys and gals, just wanted to take a second and announce the relaunch of the Saturday Supercast podcast here at Sugary Serials.  Starting with Episode 19 we’re introducing a new format for the show, taking time out between creator interviews and news for the all-ages comic anthology to delve into one of the main influences behind the stories at Sugary Serials: cartoons!  Basically we’re going to try and set up a roundtable discussion that seeks to deconstruct the various cartoons we love, taking them apart and seeing what makes them tick; what works well, what doesn’t, and what it…

• P&P Book Still On It's Way

  5 Nov 2009 | 1:29 pm

  Just a quick update - I found a spelling mistake on the back cover of the book and had to send new files to the printer. I'm waiting on the new proof at the moment, so hopefully soon I'll be able to order a bunch and have them up for sale :)

• Page One Panel One

  31 Oct 2009 | 6:43 pm

  It's as good a place to start as any :)I've toyed around with P&P as a graphic novel and I really like the format. Even the strip itself was a serial, and I tended to have narratives lasting over the course of many episodes. I'm not finished writing the whole story (it's gonna be epic!), but I have the first chapter scripted (and outlines for the next 3) and wanted to sit down and flush out some scenes as I write. I'm excited about doing an actual story, and wanted to get some pages drawn to help motivate myself :)

  24 Oct 2009 | 1:21 am

  Things have been busy lately! Not a day goes by that I'm not drawing, writing, and designing things for the comic. But admittedly there's been a long silence since the last story update, so I'd like to clue you folks in on what's new. Why is it taking so long? Plain and simple: I've been working nonstop on the Random House book. There was a period in October in which some part of my workload absolutely needed to wait - and unfortunately, it was the next update. I had already finished all of the penciling, too, so it was particularly frustrating to have to put it on hold! But I'm just one…

I met lots of old friends, made lots of new ones, and genuinely felt the love among comics people.

• A 'Ghost Rider 2' Update, A 'Dr. Horrible' Sequel, And War Machine News: It's The Back-Issue Bin!

  Rick Marshall

  6 Nov 2009 | 3:16 pm

  Another busy week draws to a close here at Splash Page HQ, with bunches of exclusive interviews and features climbing their way into the week's top stories. Not much separated the most popular posts this time around, with the wealth of attention spread evenly among various topics. Here's how the week's Top 10 posts shook out: 10. In an exclusive interview with MTV News, Sam Rockwell explained the nature of Justin Hammer's relationship with War Machine in "Iron Man 2." 9. The latest (of many) deaths of Nathan Petrelli in "Heroes" got us thinking about how many times he's passed into the…

• 'Yogi Bear' Movie Adds Justin Timberlake, Dan Aykroyd And Anna Faris

  6 Nov 2009 | 2:31 pm

  FROM MOVIES BLOG: Remember kids, the truth is always far, far stranger than fiction. It was a little more than a year ago that we found out the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series "Yogi Bear" would be getting a big screen treatment. There was no casting announced or anything like that; just that the project was happening with "Surf's Up" director Ash Brannon at the helm and that it would feature a mix of live-action and CG animation. Well today, the plot thickened. Variety reports that Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake and Dan Aykroyd are all in negotiations to join the cast of the movie, which…

• Lionsgate Launches Official 'Kick-Ass' Movie Site

  6 Nov 2009 | 1:47 pm

  Earlier today we got our first peek at a new set of "Kick-Ass" movie posters featuring the film's costumed vigilantes, and now Lionsgate has launched the official website for the big-screen adaptation of John Romita Jr. and Mark Millar's ultraviolent comic book series. Debuting today at iamkick-ass.com, the site doesn't offer much at the moment aside from a look at the same four images from the new posters and a countdown to the "Kick-Ass" trailer debut—which will apparently hit MySpace.com on November 15 at 1 AM EST. However, the site does feature a cool introductory animation that sweeps…

• 'Sin City 2' Producer Options Joe Casey's 'Full Moon Fever' And John Romita Jr.'s 'The Gray Area'

  6 Nov 2009 | 1:01 pm

  “Sin City 2” producer Stephen L'Heureux’s Solipsist Films has picked up the options for two more comic book adaptations: Joe Casey and Caleb Gerard’s “Full Moon Fever” and Glen Brunswick and John Romita Jr.’s “The Gray Area.” According to Mania.com, Casey and Brunswick are both attached to adapt their respective titles. “Full Moon Fever” was originally published as a graphic novel in 2005 by AiT/PlanetLar. The story follows an interstellar plumber—or “lunar waste disposal technician”—named Zeke Kirby who encounters a werewolf on a moon-based space station.

• Is John Cusack Chasing A 'Preacher' Role?

  Rick Marshall

  6 Nov 2009 | 12:16 pm

  With all the hub-bub surrounding the 20th anniversary of "Say Anything," it seems a little weird to think of actor John Cusack as a potential lead for "Preacher," Sam Mendes' in-development adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's very adult-oriented comic book series. However, that could indeed be the one comic book movie he's chasing these days—or something very similar to it. In an interview with io9, Cusack described a comic book movie floating around Hollywood that he's trying to get involved with—and the description sounds an awful lot like a certain story about an ex-Preacher,…

I'll get into more detail later, I think, but did want to draw attention to this bit from the opening credit sequence: If this segment from the show's opener was taken from an actual episode, and Titano turns up later on one of the two discs in this DVD set, I will be a very happy man.

  To start things off, I’d just like to say that I originally started reading Witchblade with issue 1 up until about the 40 mark and returned to the title with the $5 TPB. Overall, Witchblade has changed from the lightly storied T&A book to a book with an in-depth story which keeps you coming back from month to month.Issue #131 is the final issue in the "War of the Witchblades" storyline where we see the fall out of Sara and Dani’s fight to control the Witchblade. For a bit of history for those that don’t read the title or didn’t pick up the story line, The Witchblade is the child of…

Sure, Witchblade is one of the hottest heroines out there but she kicks serious ass in addition to looking good. Well that entry created a mini-firestorm of controversy if you will, and Sablik believes so strongly in his views that he's offering a free way to agree or disagree.Through a partnership with Discount Comic Book Service and InStock Trades Top Cow is offering free copies of the original…

  5 Nov 2009 | 9:00 pm

  Sorry this was a little late! (But you can kind of see why, I suppose.) The Kickstarter project just passed $9000 last night. I've got a little incentive/pledge drive thing going right now where, for every $250 we raise above $8500, I'll be giving away a free copy of the Multiplex/Memento parody mini-poster and a set of five buttons to one lucky backer. If we reach $10,000 by the time the strip goes up on November 12th, though, I'll give away ten copies. (Everyone who has pledged to date is eligible — except for people who have won previous giveaways and close personal friends…

I'd really like to push for the $10,000 level over these next couple of weeks, so that more of the print run is covered by the Kickstarter funds. Towards that end, for every $250 we raise above $8500 I'll be giving away a free copy of the Multiplex/Memento parody mini-poster and a set of five buttons to one lucky backer. If we reach $10,000 by the time the strip goes up on November 12th, though, I'll…

Well, did you know that you get a free button with every order? No, of course not, because I never told anybody. Well, you do, and now you know. But, just because I feel like it, any T-shirt orders through Monday will get four free buttons, instead. (That's per T-shirt, so if you want eight…

And to think I was actually kind of anxious about getting to $7500 last week! I love you guys. (That's a gender-neutral "guys," by the way.) Okay. Anyway. I swear, I'll stop pushing the Kickstarter thing quite so hard for the near future, but please keep those pledges coming if you can, though! Here's why: even the current $8000 from Kickstarter will leave me with nearly a $3000 shortfall, based on my…

The bad news is… that's only if the Kickstarter project succeeds! Without the Kickstarter funding, the book will not happen. At least not for another year or so. No time to create all the new material for the book, no time to put it all together, and certainly not enough money to pay for…

  Wil Wheaton is something of a fanboy favorite for the people. He's a former child star, best known as the lead in the Rob Reiner adaptation of Stephen King's Stand by Me, and also as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. He's done tons of other stuff along with these two better-known titles, but the best thing about him is that he's grown into a regular everyday guy and fan of many things geek, which puts him high on our list of coolest celebrities in the universe. One thing that we didn't know about Mr. Wheaton -- and you probably didn't know it either -- is that he was actually…

  I haven’t had much luck with eavesdropping. Any time there’s a conversation I wish I could hear it doesn’t work out. On the other hand I’m constantly being clobbered by people’s personal conversations that I really don’t want to listen to. I understand that you are excited to tell your wife about the new cat box but can you do it at a volume slightly under the music pumping through my headphones?

  I wonder if things like Google maps and GPS has changed the food delivery business. I know cell phones were definitely a big deal. It used to be if they couldn’t find your place you had to wait for them to get back to home base before you found out. Now the driver can call you direct to fine tune the details. “Look to your left… see the guy jumping up and down and waving? Yeah, I’m one house to the left of him.”

  There are some scenes in movies now that seem so foreign. It usually involves the main character realizing his plane leaves in a half hour, driving crazily down the highway, running full speed through an airport and down the jetway to make it to the plane just as the door is closing. They of course open the door back up after all the furious knocking and let him on board. I think there are now robotic dogs that will taser you if you so much as jog in a terminal.

  There are so many fast food restaurants around but it’s amazing how scarce they suddenly become when you would like to just use their bathroom. A few times I’ve considered pulling off on the side of the road and running into some bushes. So far, I’ve always made it somewhere without having to also purchase new clothes. So far.

Yet it’s like Elaine just pulls random things from my horror movie collection for them when I’m not looking, judging from the drawings that come out of their imaginations. The 5th picture below looked to me like some sort of H.R. Giger inspired Alien; thanks to reader Wendy for pointing out it’s a dead ringer for Onyx from Pokemon. Happy Halloween!

In 1997, 3 Chicago-area men sued Hooters for discrimination because they couldn’t get jobs there… and as crazy as it sounds, it settled for $3.75 million. The upshot of it, apparently, was they were able to “continue luring customers with a female staff of Hooters Girls. But the chain also agreed to create a few other support jobs, like bartenders and hosts, that must be filled without regard to sex.” Then earlier this year, another…

With my life basically falling apart these last few months (which is a long story that I know you’re not interested in), most of my time these days spent rebuilding that life and spending time with my family, and the lack of anything truly capturing my interest in comics these days, comics just are not a priority.

Secondly, Umbro-sponsored Darren Bent contacted me about helping him get to 10,000 Twitter followers and I ended up working with he and Umbro to create a custom cartoon wallpaper for his Twitter page. Lastly, and most relevant to all of this, is that I really liked what they have been doing with the recent release of Speciali’s.

Getting back to the comic… While she wasn’t related to me, I think of Thathi as my “Grandma”. I’ll never forget how kind, sweet and affectionate she was. She couldn’t speak much English (only Tamil), so in order for me to communicate with her, I would have to speak in Tamil. To this day, she remains the only person I have ever spoken Tamil…

The reporter—a tall, lanky, and enthusiastic fellow named Tommy Hill—interviewed Ben Katchor, Columbia professor Richard Bulliet, and me. It's a terrific piece of writing, engaging and thoughtful; you can read it here.

  Almost every comic artist I know wants to write really, really long stories. Hundred-page stories. Thousand-page stories. Jeff Smith's Bone at 1,300 pages, Dave Sim's Cerebus at 6,000 pages. Long page counts are a comic creator's badge of honor, and they also speak to something fundamental about comics: they are a solitary art form (unless you share a studio) and they take a long time to draw. During those days hunched over the drawing board, with ideas transferring to paper at slow upload speeds, your thoughts wander, simple plots get more complicated, and soon you're plotting a…

  Stonee’s got a point, the better control you exercise over your machine the better your ride. One of the ways to improve that control is to have a precise feeling of what’s happening with your bike. Being able to feel every pebble in the road, knowing exactly how much traction you have going around every corner only adds to the complete mastery of have of your bike. I guess that’s why I see some guys riding around with flip flops on their feet.

  Riding bikes is one of the most fun, adventuress, addictive things that a person can do. Part of the enjoyment of riding and the biker lifestyle is customizing your bike and to a certain extent what you wear when you ride. And for the most part there’s nothing wrong with that. But come on, there’s a point where we can get just a bit carried away. I have to admit there are some things that just bug the crap out of me. That stuffed bear on the back of a bike, never quite understood that one. Fringed leather hanging off of the grips, nope, don’t get that one either. Fingerless…

  It’s getting to be that time of the year, less time riding due to colder weather and fewer hours of daylight, and more time on the web and looking thru the catalogs. If you’re like me this is the time of year when you start spending money on bike stuff. Winter projects, deals on last years goodies, ebay finds for those who have decided biking just isn’t for them. I hope you can find some cool stuff, about all this biker can afford this winter will be a set of used fingerless gloves.

But while the first 2 are still thinking, I figured a toon wouldn’t do any harm :-) Also thanks to @Surekhapillai who planted the seed and then spent the next 30-40 minutes figuring out the details.

  I drew this one in early 1998, during my first months of living in Manhattan. I liked all those intense, late-night random conversations with all sorts of equally random Manhattan people– especially at first– but of course, after a while they all start to sound the same. This is the kind of drawing one does sitting on a New York barstool, when one is not liking one’s day job nearly well enough. That was my situation at the time, anyway. If today I met my younger self from back then, I’d say to him, “You’re just paying your dues, Kiddo. Frickin’ get over yourself…”…

  Third post as PopMuda at PopIN: Google “Malaysia” and “evolusi” together, and the first link that comes out is for “racing”-flick Evolusi KL Drift. FML. This is where tackling the issue of evolution in Malaysia becomes rather tricky—it’s rarely because so many people oppose it. We just don’t talk about it much. So let me get the ball rolling. What is evolution anyway? To put it simply, theory of evolution explains how animals and plants change over time. This process of change is driven by a concept called natural selection, which means whichever species suits their…

  Here’s my 1st post as PopIN’s PopMuda. Tune in at PopIn’s Facebook page and Twitter for updates on my posts this whole week! Face it, we Malaysians are such a superstitious lot. Admittedly, it adds a certain flavour and colour to our culture, but there are some instances where the superstitions border on being absurdly ridiculous. Let’s take a look at some of the stuff Malaysians take to heart: 1. Numbers Countless Malaysians suffer from an irrational fear for numbers. The result: we have floor 3A instead of floor 4. Also because of this, car plates that contain variations of…

Credits go to designer Azlan Ab. Malek and the Marketing Executive Producer (EP) Sabrina Hanim. Things have not always been this awesome for MFest. However, the renaissance in the quality of marketing and promotion in MFest can be attributed to Sunny Tan, who was the Marketing EP in 2006.
