    Revenge of the Homicidal Pumpkins? Tromaville may want to take a gander over that way.

    Tessyleia 2.0 was kind of interesting as well. Reminds be a bit of Ghost in the Shell. I wouldn't mind seeing Goldilock and Tessyleia as complete comics.

    I scoured Zuda fairly well, and damn near gave up. Then I came across Bayou, and was impressed by great story and art. ([zudacomics.com])
    I don't think the Zuda model of marketing webcomics is very good yet, and the "prize incentive" isn't very good incentivisizing... how about a -paper- comic publishing contract instead like Platinum Studio's ComicBook Challenge? I know webcomics isn't dead per se, but even with rock-solid talent, it's not worth much other than name-dropping and page hits. Much like the post-Napster progressives who thought the music industry will be taken back by the people via the internet, webcomics are a ridiculously inefficient medium (output energy from creators =/= net gains).
    You don't need to show me the money, just show me the value, credit, or networking that justifies making these funny-pages. [/whaaambulance?]

    The backstory seems influenced by 1984, HG Wells, and Carol Kapek. It looks like Shane Acker is influenced by things other than the old movies he's seen, which is a nice change.

    Elijah Wood referred to his character (and the others) as "Stitchpunk"? Seriously?

    As much as I am looking forward to the film, please-oh-please let this not be a new genre buzzword.

    Is there someplace to see where the screenings are in each city, or LA in particular? Depending on where it is, I could easily be in traffic for 2 hours; at which point I would skip it and pay to see it the next day...

    These costumes were spot, and most of the actors look like who they are portraying; esp. 9th. And kudos to them for including 8thie, he always gets left out....

    Ahh... if only those wonderful old halloween costumes from 4th, 5th, and 6th grade still fit me.


    Alas, I grew out of them, even if I never grew out of it, as my wedding pictures will clearly indicate:
