ComicMix Quick Picks – March 8, 2009
The weekend’s list of quick items:
- WATCHMEN WEEK: Where Were You in 1986? Part 1 | Comix 411
- Golden Age Comic Book Stories: Wally Wood does an EC story, and Frank Frazetta makes notes on redrawing it himself. Take a look and watch how the masters did it.
- Amazon Kindle is now also an iPhone App. But it still can’t do images yet. When it does, the comics industry changes forever.
- And while we’re on the topic, Barnes & Noble is back in the eBook Market with the acquisition of Fictionwise. Here’s hoping it works better than what they did with MightyWords… or am I the only person who remembers them? God, I’m old…
- Leonardo DiCaprio teams with ‘Dark Knight’ director Christopher Nolan for the sci-fi action film Inception, his next directing gig instead of doing the next Batfilm right away. Also, ‘Watchmen’ star Jackie Earle Haley stays with comic books, joins ‘Human Target’ cast.
Anything else? Consider this an open thread.
Danny Fingeroth, best known today as editor of Write Now!, will be speaking on the topic of graphic novels at the Court street Barnes & Noble in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening at 7 p.m.
