Weird Video of the Day

I was led astray to this by Edgar Wright’s twitter feed. He said it was the trailer to the Scott Pilgrim movie he’s working on. It’s not. But it’s just as awesome:

Hostile Hospital Visit

Hey all! Sam here.

I named today’s page “Hostile Hospital Visit” such because I wasn’t sure if we were all 100% clear that the last two panels (this one and the last panel of the last page) were in a hospital. I think it’s clear, but you never know with some people.

So, if we want to be technical, this is the end of the first “issue” of DropKick, were it a normal comic book. It’s not, so there will be more pages. I’m doing an epilogue page to this “issue” next week, and that will be the final page of DropKick that will be featured in color. Yes, folks, we will be scaling back to good old Black and White for here on out. This allows me to spend my coloring time on other projects and we can get more DropKick pages churned out consistently. It’s all for the best, but I will miss the bright and shiny colors of the DropKick universe. I’ve actually learned a lot about coloring just from doing this comic alone, so that knowledge is priceless and will be put to good use.

In other news, I’m not sure what Andy’s up to, but my other comics have been coming along in fine style. I might be able to share some of my other comic book with you guys pretty soon. Of course Meaningless gets loving every day now, so that’s good.

I’ve been reading a lot of the internet lately, due to being unemployed.  In the world of comics and movies, it looks like they really are making a freaking Green Lantern movie, as concept art has crept up out of the dark void of someone’s portfolio.  Here’s a link to a story in io9 about it, featuring said art (I don’t want to steal their thunder).  I love the director, Martin Campbell, but if they can pull this off without making it totally ridiculous, I’ll be damn surprised.  The Green Lantern, like most DC Comics characters, is a relic of another age of comics and should have never left the 1960’s.  If the movie’s good, awesome, I’m all for movies about space cops, but space cops that fight with silly rings just ain’t my style.

Judge Dredd is a space cop with style I like.

Guy Ritchie is jumping back into another Sherlock Holmes movie, which means his version of Lobo isn’t happening, and is either postponed or canceled.  Man, that’s just so terribly sad that they just couldn’t get a movie of goddamn Lobo off the ground.  In other news, the sky is up, water is wet, and the ground has shit in it.

If the Green Lantern belongs in the 60’s and Superman belongs in the 30’s, Lobo belongs in the 1980’s as a really bad, coke-fueled dream in the head of whoever created him.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another weird video of the day.  To tide you over, here’s this thing I found today:
