The Fellowship is pleased to present our quarterly crowdfunding spotlight. There are hundreds of comics projects (and other stuff too) on Kickstarter (and other sites too), and we've gone through and picked out a few that we think look cool. And as always, our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
All movies for the upcoming secret project have been watched (by me, anyway) - details coming "Tre soon"
Comics - The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show (nostalgic fun), Mr. Miracle #1 (reminiscent of recent Moon Knight run)
You Can't Turn That Into A House (TV, FYI Network) - entertaining to see them solve problems

The Fellowship is pleased to present our celebration of the 25th anniversary of Batman The Animated Series. This show broke a lot of ground, jumpstarting Warner animation and cementing Batman (and comics in general) in mainstream culture. And as always, our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Half Price Books haul - two locations, too many books :-)
Alien Legion - collections from Epic Comics; good stuff
The Warlord: The Savage Empire - Mike Grell stuff from the 70s; would make a cool movie
Also caught a Jerry Lewis movie marathon over the holiday weekend (movie geekout tangent)
