Yeah. Doing a show like this is like throwing a wedding (or some other similar metaphor).
Mignola's got a gallery show (and accompanying catalog/artbook) this fall, and that may occupy the lion share of his year.
God, I have an insane backlog. Take a year off and maybe I'll have caught up.
Maybe Mike's putting his all into a solo project? That'd be neat.
Love Popeye. A million ways this could go wrong, high probability it doesn't even happen at all... nevertheless, I'm tentatively excited!
I wonder when that Hermes Press Popeye visual history book...
What are the chances we'll see a Jack Cole Plastic Man omnibus? It's my favorite golden age hero and the Archive editions (two decades on, now) leave something to be desired in the reproduction...
Stan Sakai is the book. I think, along with Jaime Hernandez, he's probably the greatest living American cartoonist.
... but seeing a little bit of someone else playing with the character? Seems...
Huh, this and Jimmy Olsen are the castings that make me most excited!
Those episodes back in the day dropped Usagi off in the modern world, and that storyline was never resolved. If i'm reading this correctly, this one-shot will be the resolution showing Usagi...
A proper new Uncle Scrooge comic is a dream come true! Love Uncle Scrooge!
Will the Traveling Wilburys stuff be phase 2 or 3?
Seeing reports of people going to this in groups and laughing their butts off. Is this dull bad, fun bad, or funny bad? Does the audiences' sobriety at time of viewing change this equation?
The emperor ape leering, saying "you will die!" is giving me goosebumps. I feel that the last few decades we've gotten away from classic, scenery-chewing villainy. We've forgotten how satisfying it...
Holy mackerel! An in-production TV series sequel quickly repurposed as a movie?!
The '90s are back, baby!
I was raised by Cartoon Network. Sure, I'd seen and enjoyed the occasional import as a kid in the '90s (like Speed Racer, Voltron, and Samurai Pizza Cats), but it was around age 10 to 11 that I...
The best part of Oscar season is them putting stuff I missed the first go-round back in theaters.
Pretty great year for movies! A decade ago you'd see all the categories filled with...
Hmmm... if Popeye becomes public domain soon that means Olive has been for a while, right? She was introduced in the comic like a decade before Popeye popped up as a bit part and took over the strip....
If these companies want to keep making money off of these characters after they become public domain the obvious solution is just to make good new movies/shows/comics with them.
Imagine Godzilla...
Speaking of woke... you know, Universal Studios released Dracula in 1931 and then Frankenstein later that year. Frankenstein has got a gay director (James Whale) and a gay lead actor (Colin Clive as...
My boy Anguirus should be in one of these.
Intersting public domain thing: whoever owns the rights to the classic Laurel & Hardy silent movies has been sitting on them for decades, but now, as they fall into public domain in waves year by...
Good.
Being in the public domain hasn't stopped multiple restorations and releases of Buster Keaton's films. It hasn't hurt Dracula or Ebenezer Scrooge. If Disney wants to still make money off...
I loved that. In the 1954 film there's no indication Godzilla is anything but a legend on Odo Island, and they name the monster after the legend. Similar backstory in Shin Godzilla. Happy to see the...
The black and white version of Shin Godzilla has also been playing in Japan recently and it looks pretty great. Would love to see that!
Love seeing Miyazaki and Godzilla hanging in there so well!
