Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
Yep, DD Bullseye (from the wiki): Daredevil/Bullseye: The Target is an unfinished limited series comic book from Marvel Comics featuring the superhero Daredevil in pursuit of nemesis, the assassin Bullseye. The series was written by Kevin Smith with illustrations by Glenn Fabry. It is known for being quite delayed, with the first issue coming out in November 2002, and the second issue never being released.

Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
He did a Spidey/Black Cat series with the Dodsons. The first 3 issues came out, then there was like 2-3 years before the remaining issues came out.
He also did a couple Batman minis and the second one ended on a huge cliffhanger. He intended to do a third one, but never got around to it. Widening Gyre and Cacophany were the two series.

Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
The last one, Bellicosity, is still supposed to be released.
Smith/Flanagan have both been busy making movies and tv shows apparently. I guess when you film 16 whole episodes a year, you need months of downtime.
The one time Kevin Smith replied to me on twitter was in June 2011, when I asked him about it. His response:
"Getting 'em all done before we solicit. Just started 3 issue of Volume 2."

Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
I'm watching Yoga Hosers on Netflix.
Kevin Smith, what the fuck happened to you?
The single solitary moment I kinda sorta chuckled at was Kevin Conroy's cameo. Only because I'm sure 98% of the audience wouldn't recognize him (then again, the target audience is the 17 die hard Smith fanatics who still look forward to his films and they probably know who Conroy is).

I will still watch most episodes of Comic Book Men once they make it our streaming service. I also appreciated his unabashedly fanboyish review of Rogue One.

Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
Yeah, Yoga Hosers is fucking awful. There are a few humorous moments, but yeah...painful.
I'm a huge fan, but I nearly turned it off.
The guy seriously needs to lay off the weed.
Red State was a nice departure for him and Tusk was fun because it was just so damn weird.

Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
So, it appears that Clerks 3 is back on. Kevin says he mended fences with Jeff Anderson and they agreed to do a new version of Clerks 3.
I'm hopeful, but we'll see.

Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
If Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was a love letter to the fans, then J&SB Reboot is a love letter with a nude selfie.
A TON of in-jokes and references, cameos galore, very meta, and a lot of fun (for Kevin Smith fans)

Re: The Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread
Just watched it this afternoon. I would say a solid 85% of the jokes you wouldn’t get if you weren’t well-versed in the mythology/trivia of all the other Smith filmography. I think nostalgia helped me enjoy it a lot more than it probably deserved, but I did enjoy it. I say this in the most loving way; it was stupid as fuck. The “Clerks” reunion gag made me laugh out loud.Diabolical wrote:If Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was a love letter to the fans, then J&SB Reboot is a love letter with a nude selfie.

Yeah, despite my favorable review, I have not rewatched the film since seeing it in the theater, despite owning it on Blu-Ray.Tom Foolery wrote:Just watched it this afternoon.
