YACB Bulletins

ITEM! Everybody else has already linked to it, but just in case you haven't seen it, here's a link to the Superman Returns trailer. I'm so there.

ITEM! Looking for more chances to win free comics? Comic Book Galaxy is teaming up with cool new publisher First-Second Books to give away five complete sets of their inaugeral graphic novel line.

ITEM! More free comics? Must be something in the aether! Mark Fossen is celebrating his birthday by giving away copies of Gray Horses, Midnight Kiss, and Battle Royale.

ITEM! More FCBM2 linkage from David and Rob. Thanks!

Yet Another Music Moment

I'm totally digging the video for Sandi Thom's "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)". It looks like the single and the album will be UK only for the time being, but thankfully QuickTime and the Interweb know no international boundaries. (if you don't like QuickTime, you can view it other formats here.)


Speaking of UK only, Sing-Sing and I is the second album from the group Sing-Sing. You can't buy it in the U.S., but you can listen to the whole darn thing via streaming QuickTime from Sing-Sing's site. I highly recommend it for alt-pop fans of all stripes.

I really wish that record companies would stop with this whole business of trying to restrict music to certain geographical regions; it just pisses fans off.

FCBM2 Day 3

It's day three of the second annual YACB Free Comic Book Month!

Today's selected entry comes from Dave Prosser. The five comics that Dave listed are:

1. Scott Pilgrim
2. Acme Novelty Library
3. Anything by Jack Kirby
4. All Star Superman
5. Runaways

Dave seems like just the type who will get a kick out of Steve Emond's Emo Boy #1, so that's what I'll be sending on to him.

And like all the selected entries, Dave will be receiving a special Dark Horse promo-priced comic, in this case The Goon 25¢ Edition by Eric Powell.

Dave's comics should be in the mail by the end of the week. Enjoy!

There's still time to send in your entry for the YACB Free Comic Book Month; details are here.
