its happening

I’m inside….

the masses go to get their passes

It begins.

Dark Horse likes Apple. Apple likes Dark Horse.

There’s a really fascinating feature article up on Apple.com about Dark Horse Comics’ use of Apple Mac systems throughout their office — from the editorial department, to production on up to IT. 120 destops, 25 Mac laptops and on the server side they have 18 Xserves and 5 Xserve RAIDs, giving them 50 terabytes of storage on their network. Crazy.

The Dark Knight - Simply Amazing

Saw a screening of “The Dark Knight” in Los Angeles Saturday night. Warner Bros. is showing a lot of faith in the film with screenings so far in advance and it’s well placed. This isn’t just a great super hero or comic book movie, it’s a GREAT movie. It starts fast and never slows down. It’s total anarchy. It’s chaotic. It’s terrifying (it seriously is). And it’s absolutely an amazing film. It raises the bar on this genre of films. Forget that, this movie raises the bar on all action films. Highly intelligent with mind-blowing performances. Ledger, Bale and Eckhart all bring unbelievable emotion and depth to their individual roles and Gary Oldman is finally given something to do and delivers.

Look for a full review on Sunday right here on CBR.

Photo by Bridget Silvestri. The constraints of aero-travel require us to pack up and head to the small city known as the Phoenix Airport, but we thought this would be the perfect picture with which to sign off. Thanks for reading CBR’s live coverage of the Image Comics founders’ first signing in at least 16 years, if not ever. Check back with CBR News for more photos and details in the coming days.
