Stand-Up Comics Weekly News, 6/23/09
Posted by Eric on Tue, Jun 23rd, 2009
First off, I apologize for the lateness of this email; we've been
without internet all day and it got restored about 5 minutes ago.
Sorry folks! Anyway...
The Short of It:
1. ComicMix and You
2. New This Wednesday
1. By now, dear readers, I'd imagine you are familiar with local
creators Unshaven Comics and their relationship with your favorite
comic shop (us!). They've been signing, drawing, and selling their
books in our store for the last couple Free Comic Book Days and if
you're lucky you might catch a glimpse of them in here on a Wednesday
or Saturday… if you're lucky. Well, in addition to being a
stellar comic creator and hilarious stand-up comedian (did you come to
the comedy festival Saturday? No? Shame!) one of the Unshaven crew is
also a columnist on the website ComicMix, which is one of the cooler
places I've found on the web for comics news. If you get a chance,
mosey on over to www.comicmix.com and browse around, and make sure you
look for the articles by Marc Alan Fishman. This week he's got a
series of matchups between Michael Bay's Transformers and their 1980s
counterparts which I find very entertaining… check them out and
comment (Roger Ebert trashed the new Transformers film, by the way. It
was one of those scathing reviews that's so harsh it's funny).
