Links: Turn off the dark

November 30, 2010 by Katherine Dacey   Leave a Comment

Julie Taymor’s latest Broadway project, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, experienced considerable technical difficulties during the first day of New York City try-outs, leaving Spidey and several villains dangling from wires above the audience. Both The New York Times and The New York Post were unimpressed.

Robot 6 reports that “The Four Seasons” will be Roger Langridge’s final Muppet Show comic for BOOM! Studios.

Over at The Manga Curmudgeon, David Welsh is hosting a week-long celebration of One Piece, one of the all-time best-selling shonen (boys’) manga in Japan. Among the notable contributions so far: our own Lori Henderson’s review of the first four volumes.
