i’d love to tell you ALLLL about comic-con 2008 but the con is cracking down on “small-time press.” nuts!* thankfully, entertainment weekly is doing the job for me with this week’s issue (above) and continuing with live updates on their website.
*i’m heading out there anyway of course. i’m sure i’ll find something nice to say even if i don’t get my magical press pass.

light night rains: TICKET : HOW & WHY
Purchase TICKET at Cory’s shop.
Cory Godbey has just released a 28-page paperback picture book called “Ticket“. From the teaser:
Ticket is a story in pictures and a collection of all things Cory loves to draw. From windmills flying above grassy hills to massive birds landing in Grecian vineyards, Ticket follows the story of a girl, her hat, and the curious events which transpire.
Cory posted the epic illustration mentioned in the teaser as his entry for Illustration Friday’s “Enough” theme. I’ve been grooving on Cory’s whole exploration and documentation of Ticket on his blog, it’s absolutely captivating. I can’t wait to read it!
View the short commercial for TICKET that takes you through the book page by page. Music by Matt Silver

in an ideal world, scott pilgrim will replace archie comics at grocery store checkout stands everywhere. like archie, scott is young, needs a job, is in a band, and is stuck in a love… er, quadrangle. unlike archie, scott has to battle his true love’s seven evil ex-boyfriends before he can date her. and his comics are fun-fun-funny!

now that heath ledger has demonstrated how bat-$#!t crazy the joker can be, check out the book (one of them anyway) that inspired the lunacy: batman: the killing joke. it’s disturbing.

if you have any reluctance to see the new hellboy movie, hellboy II: the golden army, zip over to the cinema right now! what i thought would be a silly beat up the monsters movie was actually an endearing, beautifully imagined fairy tale with puppets, tooth fairies, trolls under bridges, a magic bean and a giant beanstalk, all woven onto a pop culture rollarcoaster. not at all the GUILTY pleasure that i thought it would be.
