New Spirit trailer leaked
You can see a new trailer for Frank Miller's "The Spirit" here. This was supposed to be exclusive to the San Diego Comicon, so it may get yanked at some point.
The trailer really plays up the femme fatales in the cast and the Spirit's reactions to them. I still don't think this thing looks very Eisnerish. With all the clumy innuendo and silliness, it looks more like James Coburn's "In Like Flint" or something.

Surviving members of The Faces--including Rod Stewart, Ian McLagen and Ronnie Wood are weighing a reunion.
McLagan said Stewart was the only member uncertain about reforming.
"Rod hasn't wanted to do it for a long time. He didn't see the need in it but I think he really wants to now."
It has been nearly four decades since the band, known for hits such as Cindy Incidentally and Stay With Me, first formed.
"It's going to be great if it does happen," McLagan said.
