If, like me, you were somewhat disheartened a couple years back at what might have been re: Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, it may please you to know that it will be given a new life in paper form: FREDDY VS JASON VS ASH Hitting Comics Soon. (Warning, contains minor spoilers for this comic, but also a major one for the comic [and presumably the film] Watchmen.) Short spoiler-free summary: It was ALMOST a movie, but now that it’s not, they’ve decided to make it into a comic miniseries. Exactly like the movie would have been. Except with more paper cuts.

I read the treatment for the movie version a couple years back and must say that there was some clever stuff in it. Some stupid stuff as well, but nothing worse than what’s already in Freddy Vs. Jason. If you want to spoil the comics for yourself (the six-issue run is supposed to be based almost verbatim on the original film treatment) you can find the treatment here.

In other news, My Name is Bruce is on track to rock all our socks off later this year. I’d describe it, but the previous link does a much better job than I could.

Lastly, (and kicking off all this Evil Dead/Bruce Campbell talk from me) Richard Crawford suggests that we force Bruce Campbell to run for president. I think if we slap an “I’m Bruce Campbell, and I approve this message” on this fine Old Spice campaign ad that it’ll help get the rest of America on board. Who can argue with the platform Bruce is stumping for in that spot?
