An excellent source of free time destruction: Quotesoncomics.com provides a steady stream of, um, quotes about comics. Just click “Give me another random quote!” over and over and then wonder where the hour went.
Not this again: The Independent on that stupid British legal effort that “will make it illegal to own any picture of children participating in sexual activities, or present whilst sexual activity took place.”
Stop the presses!: Warner Brothers will continue to release PG-13 rated superhero movies, the rating they and every studio assigns to 99% of all superhero movies. This is bad news for fans hoping that the upcoming Green Lantern movie would feature a full frontal Hal Jordan shower scene, or that if they ever do get around to making a Wonder Woman movie, it would include a scene of the Amazing Amazon smoking a cigarette topless in bed.
“If there is one thing the director of The Hobbit cannot be without while based in Wellington…”: It’s drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. No? I guess not. Guillermo del Toro may be busy making a live-action version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s least boring book, but he still finds time for comics, reports The Dominion Post of New Zealand, which I believe is in the southern hemisphere of Middle Earth.
Forget Watchmen, look what they’re doing to Dragonball!: School Library Journal on Dragonball Evolution, its manga origins and Viz’s plans for film tie-ins. The movie doesn’t sound/look very good, does it?
“I know he works in mysterious ways, but if I worked that mysteriously, I’d get fired”: Here’s a brief interview with New Yorker cartoon editor Robert Mankoff by The Boston Globe’s religion reporter on the subject of Jews in New Yorker cartoons.

Not all comic stories in Britain are doom and gloom, although the UK tabloids do like to vent their fury at any comic that doesn’t involve Dennis the Menace misbehaving or the honest British Tommy saying, “It’s the end of the war for you, Fritz.” For good UK comic news check out these… well it looks like I won’t be leaving you any links because every time I do a message pops up and says I’m trying to spam you. Can anyone help me out here?

For similar lenghty Q&As with Tim Sale and Kevin O’Neill on the same site, in which Sale talks about the Killing Floor and his love Matt Murdoch’s hipster twin brother and O’Neill drops some hints about League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century and lambasts the censors and the makers of LXG, try:

and finally to hear Mark Millar describe the Kick Ass movie as “Superbad meets Spider-man” and a film that makes “Wanted look like the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” try:

Who gives a rat’s ass about Dragonball?

Lots of people do, Ed. I don’t, but a LOT of other people do.
And I saw the movie last week in Malaysia, expecting it to be bad. It was terrible. Career-killer bad. (Though no one will recognise James Marsters under all that makeup, fingers crossed.)
