You have to admire Kevin Smith. Growing up in New Jersey, he found himself a circle of likeminded friends who took his scripts and performed them in a sort of comedy revue that wowed audiences in Red Bank. Inspired, he went on to Vancouver and film school where he met his producing muse, Scott Mosier. Back home, they scraped together $27,500, recruited Smith’s friends and shot the semi-autobiographical [[[Clerks]]]. The black and white film, mostly a series of vignettes tied together by the two leads, wowed audiences and became a cult hit.

The eagerly anticipated [[[Batman: Cacophony]]] #1 finally hit shelves this month, and, on many levels, it did not disappoint. The three-issue series is authored by famous screenwriter/director Kevin Smith, and his signature style is evident. Smith, as always, manages to weave in a healthy dose of crude, sexual humor, and it is surprisingly successful coming out of The Joker’s mouth. The tone of the book, however, is not as dark as one would think. The atmosphere created by the creative minds at work is more a cartoonish, brightly colored Pulp Fiction than the noir-esque Batman of years past. A color palette of burnt oranges, yellows, and primary colors adorn the pages in the book, and this tone nicely compliments Kevin Smith’s clever, quick witted humor. 
With tongue in cheek, Kevin Smith pokes fun at when we can expect the next two issues of this week’s Batman mini series, plus:
The CW’s Reaper gained a lot of fan press when last season’s pilot was directed by Kevin Smith. Now, after a bout with the Writer’s Strike, the show is on its way back for Season Two and we get the inside story from Satan himself, series regular Ray Wise, plus:
I recommended this comic to a friend of mine. She wrote back that her office’s content filter blocked it as "tasteless and offensive."
