So in addition to the Scott Pilgrim movie being excellent, the video game is a lot of fun. But don’t forget where all of this Scott Pilgrim mania originated – The comics!

We’ve currently got every volume of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series from Oni Press in stock, so be sure to get caught up on what some are calling the next big fad!

Please go read this cool article in the New York Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/27/books/27moore.html?_r=1

This is about Alan Moore’s new project called Unearthing. This is a very different thing for Alan Moore to do, in fact it is not even a comic book. Unearthing is a spoken word interview with weird music and photographs.
We also learn a lot about the history of British comic books.

A Bag, A Board, and a Box

This is pretty much a Part 2 on the Toastmasters’ speech I did on investing in comics. This one is about how to preserve your comics by using bags, boards, and comic book storage boxes. Most people who are into comics know this, but this is for those who don’t.

Westboro Baptist Church Protests At Comic Con: ‘God Hates Nerds’

Kansas’s Westboro Baptist Church arrived at the recent San Diego Comic Con to protest with a big sign that said “God Hates Nerds. Rom 9:13″

Here’s what one of them said:

They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made…

The destruction of this nation is imminent – so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry.”

Luckily there is another group somewhere with a “God Hates Signs” sign:
