Dark Horse announces Groo: Friends and Foes from Evanier and Aragones
Mulching, blunders and barbarian action. Groo is eternal and Groo is back with Groo: Friends and Foes, a year long series by Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragones, Stan Sakai and Tom Luth, the same team that's been turning out this book since the 80s. In the first issues, Groo meets Captain Ahax, the seaman with the world record for most ships sunk. It's a safe asumption that all hell will break loose from that point on.

Seth’s Dominion documentary is showing in Montreal
A film has been made about Seth, the single named Autuer of Clyde Fans, It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken, Palookaville, and countless illustrations. It's called Seth's Dominion, it's directed by Luc Chamberland and it is described as "a hybrid documentary/animation film exploring the life of master cartoonist Seth."
Given that Seth is a perfectionist, you'd expect no less of a film about him, so to no one's surprise the film has won the Grand Prize for Best Animated Feature at this year's Ottawa International Animation Festival.
