I whole-heartedly approve of Improv Everywhere’s latest mission, which took place in the main branch of the New York Public Library.

Amari’s “Tiger”
(via) This video? This video right here? This is wacky.
Directed by Francesco Calabrese, it repurposes loads of 80s scifi movie imagery to
visualize the song “Tiger” by Amari. And, as mentioned, it is wacky. -
iZombie #4 cover
Speaking of covers, Vertigo has posted a whole slew of them on their Graphic Content blog this afternoon, including one near and dear to my heart. Behold the sublime majesty that is Mike and Laura Allred’s cover to iZombie #4.

Dour Puritan
iFanboy has posted a whole host of splendid Mike Mignola covers for upcoming Dark Horse releases, and among them is this little gem, featuring everyone’s favorite dour Puritan adventurer. It’s the cover to the second collection of the Solomon Kane series with scripts by Scott Allie and art by Mario Guevara. It’s due out October 20, 2010, with a $15.99 pricetag. Kane is my absolute favorite of all Robert E. Howard’s characters, I must admit.
How awesome is that?

First iZombie fan art
As far as I know, Terry Blas’s portrait of Gwen Dylan eating a brain is the very first piece of iZombie fan art.
Come on, internets. Where’s all the rest of the iZombie fan art at, already?

Total Recall: The Musical
(via) Bravo. My hat is off to Jon Kaplan and Al Kaplan, who have managed to improve on Total Recall by making it (a) just over three minutes long, and (b) a musical.

A Small Announcement
It’s been making the rounds of the internet, but this birth announcement is too good not to share again. Congrats to the lucky couple, whoever they are.

iZombie #1 free at Austin Books
Have I mentioned that the first issue of iZombie is on stands tomorrow, May 5th? Well, it is. And for a measely one dollar, too!
And if you’re in the Austin area and want to save a buck, come on by my favorite comic shop on the planet, Austin Books & Comics, where they’ll be handing out a free copy of iZombie #1 to every customer (over 17 years old) who walks in the door. And if you want me to deface your copy, show up between 4 and 7 PM, when I’ll be on hand with Sharpie at the ready
If you’re not in the Austin area, of course, the first issue will just set you back a buck, so what do you have to lose?
