Thwip
Man, I can't remember the last time I saw a movie tank in the third act as suddenly and as completely as Spider-man 3. Everything was running along pretty smoothly for about 1 1/2 hours -- no easy task when you're juggling that many characters and subplots -- and then out of nowhere, BOOM! Trainwreck! It's like they had a million neat ideas and no plan for how to tie them together and wrap them up. Unfortunately the method they seem to eventually have settled on was "horribly contrived and ridiculously out-of-character cheesy left-field B-movie style."
Man, I know there were a lot of things I really liked about the earlier parts of the film, but the ending was so awful that I'm having trouble remembering what they all were. Meanwhile, it felt like a lot of the story was just... missing. Inevitable extended DVD edition? My money is on "yes."

Sould Out
Man... I totally drew Aaron's robot hand on the wrong side today. How stunned is that? But a dedicated reader noticed right away, and now I've fixed up the comic to correct my giant goof. Gah!
I was very excited to find out today that Matt and Ian (of MacHall fame) have started a brand new comic with a slick sense of slice-of-life humour and an incredibly pleasing graphic black and white art style. Unfortunately, the reason I found out about the comic because of one of the author's totally outrageous personal misfortune. Talk about suffering for your art! Cartooning is dangerous work, friends.
Anyhow, check out Three Panel Soul. Unlike some people, you will probably be able to enjoy it, because you probably have a sense of humour!

That was the Remix
It's been a long day, team. I think I'm going to have to turn in without saying anything profound in this space. (You know, unlike what I usually do.)
Enjoy today's comic! It killed a lot of brushpens. Ha!
