Not to much in SFC News. This comic I think was a litte less sinister when I wrote originally. When I looked at the finished comic I was morbidly chuckling. I like what Don did here. Nothing like sharing a little vomit with the stars.

I will be in Seattle later today for my Pax trip. If you are signed up for Pax Assassins, Jeremy, his brother Jason, and I will be there to kill you. If you are not mine enemy, feel free to twitter @straightfacing and we can meet somewhere at Pax, bullshit about the comic, or whatever. First person to do so and find me will get a Post Card Sized mini print of our Truck Nutz Make Me Giggle comic and Bazooms! I’ll even sign it if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
Like so many businesses before it, Disney chomps down on the power pill that is Marvel. What can I say that hasn’t been said? Pixar making near replica perfect Graphic Novels would be swell. It’s going to be cool, that if they wanted to, Disney is a large enough company to fund Marvel printed comics even at a loss. This kind of reminds me of when Wizards of the Coast bought Dungeons and Dragons from TSR. It preserved something I loved, that didn’t seem like it was going to last on it’s own. Sure it changed, but at least it’s still around. I’m not a fan of fourth edition and it’s combat system. But then I’d still run games using THACO, if people wouldn’t stone me to death with pocket protectors filled with d20s and lead miniatures. For now my Tuesday game is being played with 3.5 rules. Looks like we’ll all play the waiting game and see how much change Disney will wrought.
Just a heads up, if you didn’t get it yet watchmen director’s cut is available. Finally sitting down to watch it this week, I didn’t think the directors cut made a huge difference. Hollis’ death is highlighted more, and you get a little bit more Rorschach (from what I’m told). Honestly, I’m not sure where and when it happened from watching it once in the theater and once at home on Blu-Ray. Sadly no deleted scenes other than those added to the Director’s cut already. There was quite a few making of vignettes about individual aspects of the movie. There’s a couple of documentary shorts I haven’t watched yet and a dvd mode where the director comes on screen and talks about scenes as they are happening. Like super commentary I suppose, I will be watching this soon, sounds interesting if not silly. From what I’ve read they will be trying to sell you another version of the movie with more extras in time for Christmas so you may want to wait if you haven’t made your purchase yet.
