Web comics, events, cult movie musicals, wood cuts!


FreakAngels. A new post apocalyptic, steampunk, superhero-y (I think?) web comic.

If you're in New York Wednesday the 27th, you might want to stop by Kinokuniya at 6:00 pm for the How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded America! event, hosted by Kinokuniya Bookstores and Tokyopop.

Troma's Lloyd Kaufman when asked about Toxic Avenger: The Musical - "Yes! Some excellent theatrical producers, the folks that brought you DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, and I believe the Harriet Tubman story, the musical of course, they are going to be producing TOXIC AVENGER: THE MUSICAL." With music by David Bryan from Bon Jovi. Huh.

Not to be outdone is Spider Baby: The Musical, based off the 1968 cult flick.

Movies(Terminator, Matrix, Harry Potter, etc.) as faux Russian wood cuts (the site's in Cyrillic). The idea is what they would look like as passed down folklore.

Another relatively recent webcomic which may be of interest is Darths & Droids. Here's the start of it.
