In Stores Now: ‘EZ Street’ trade paperback
It had completely slipped our mind to tell people that the print collection of EZ Street came out in stores last Wednesday, but then we saw this rave review from Scoop:
Both Tinnell and Wheatley are at the top of their game in EZ Street.
They neither pull their punches nor strike out at things in an
unwarranted fashion. Instead they pull back the curtains and offer
rather unvarnished look into the world of entertainment creators who are
also brothers….This one has been a long time coming, but we are very glad to finally
see the Harvey Award-nominated graphic novel by Robert Tinnell and Mark
Wheatley finally in print in a regular edition. EZ Street, which
is hands down one of the most insightful and honest works we’ve read
about the frustration that comes with life as a creator, is the story
of two brothers and their struggles, ambitions, and dreams.While Wheatley has touched on elements in this story previously in a
very different way with Radical Dreamer, this reads like it was
both new ground and familiar territory to both of them at the same
time. It was one of the best stories we read the year they finished it
online, and now that it’s in print we’re willing to that it’s one of the
best graphic novels we’ve read this year, too… if not the
best.
If you didn’t pick it up in stores last week, you can do it this week, or you can always pick it up at Amazon. And don’t forget about the sideways sequel, Lone Justice.

Less than five years after his introduction in comics, [[[Steel]]] made it to the feature film pantheon of super-heroes. At one point, Warner Bros. was intending to produce a film adaptation of the best-selling [[[Death of Superman]]] storyline and it was decided that a Steel spinoff movie made sense. When it became clear that major [[[Superman]]] buff Shaquille O’Neal was serious about an acting career and that the Death movie was not going to happen, Warners decided to go for a modestly budgeted film anyway.
If you were looking for that little special something for your own bridge recreation, here’s your chance.



Science fiction followers take note: The 2010 Hugo nominee list is out. For those not so in-the-know, the Hugo awards (named for Amazing Stories’ creator Hugo Gernsback) have been recognizing great work in Science Fiction or Fantasy since 1955, and have recently added comic books to their categories under consideration. This year’s nominees are an amazing bunch; Allow us to share some highlights.
Let’s see if we caught them all– there have been some real gems this year:
Ralph Bakshi has been a visionary filmmaker and animator, whose ambitions always seemed larger than his talent. After cutting his teeth at Terry Toons, he talked his way into running Paramount’s dying animation arm before moving on to work such as the ABC Saturday morning [[[Spider-Man]]] series. He finally gained recognition when he set out to make feature-length films, beginning with the X-rated [[[Fritz the Cat]]].
