Extras Extras Read All About it!

I wanted to push the DVD extras toward comics and comic fans.  To a certain extent that was accomplished.  There's plenty of time with Mike and there'll be more of his interview on Blood and Iron.

The DVD crew even flew up to Portland, Oregon to interview Dark Horse publisher, Mike Richardson.  They also talked to Mike Mignola's editor, Scott Allie, and his colorist, Dave Stewart. I could listen to this

kind of stuff for hours but there's enough on the disk to understand the esteem these guys have for Mike.

The actors talk about the process of voice acting and what they find hard about it.  Selma is very open about the self consciousness she feels about her voice.  Veteran voice actor, Phil Lamarr, who you might know as Samurai Jack talks about the challenges of voice acting in general. 

Of course you learn a lot of the thought process that went into making the movies.  There's way too much of me, mostly because I provided transitions between the subjects they wanted to cover.  There's plenty of storyboard sketches and interviews with some of the crew and a special section on Cheeks.  All in all it's a pretty sweet package of extras.  But on top of that there's a 32 page comic put together by Dark Horse.   But if you're reading this you're probably already buying  a copy... so tell a friend!  -- Tad

Nice, can't wait for that DVD to land in my mailbox. Though my enthusiasm is slightly dampened by the fact that Peri Gilpin looks eerily like Celine Dion in that picture. Just sayin'.

LOL

Yes, counting the days untilit arrives here. Will have to devote a day to get through it all.

Thanks for the tireless devotion, Tad. It makes a big difference.

Peri Gilpin looks like CELINE DION? Nay, sir! I will have to duel you over that, for Peri's honor.

Pistols at dawn! Or coconut cream pies at dusk! Or FIM-92 Stinger surface-to-air missile launchers at about 4:15 pm Pacific Standard Time! Whatever works for you.

I was already going to get this, but man, now I'm REALLY going to get it. Get it good! Can't wait for the next animated (and liveaction) movie either.

yep. So I bought and checked out the Hellboy black wedding comic today. The art for the first story seemed a bit rushed, with some pages being pretty tight and well done, and others pretty sloppy. Writing saved that one. The whole Hb junior/lobster jhonson thing was great and cute in the second story though. Def check it out if you guys or gals are in your local comic shop. It's not top quality but it's worth the 8 bucks. 5 more days till HB animated release!!!!start the countdown

LOL in all honesty Tad. I got my Hellboy Sword of the storms three days ago! It was released early in one of my local stores. I've only seen a bit of it. But you my friend have stayed true to the Hellboy world! Wonderful work!

Back when Tad’s early work was released, he had to ride from town to town (on a horse, if the marketing budget allowed – if not, he just carried two coconut halves and banged them together) crying out “HEAR YE! HEAR YE! COME SEE DARKWING DUCK!”

Sometimes the townspeople would fire muskets at at him, thinking he was a British redcoat.

Thank heavens for the Internet.
