Now he's passing it on to our fellow panelists from this year's Emerald City Comic Con: Shelli Paroline of Adventure Time and The Midas Flesh; Jake Parker of Missile Mouse and Skull Chaser; and Chris Giarrusso of G-Man fame! Warm up your pencils, guys — the icewater is coooooooold!

The Icebucket Challenge is a fun way of raising awareness about the fight against ALS, also called "Lou Gehrig's Disease," which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

ZITA the Spacegirl Meets SMASH!

We've been looking forward to a team-up of Ben Hatke's fantastic Zita the Spacegirl with our super-powered 10-year-old hero. Let's hope the combined powers of Smash and Zita can keep the galaxy safe!

By now we've all heard the sad news that Harrison Ford will be out of action for several weeks after his ankle was injured on the set of the new Star Wars film. Kyle can't help but wonder how things might have turned out differently if Smash had been around to give Han Solo a hand... (Click the image for a bigger version.)

Happy 30th Anniversary, GHOSTBUSTERS!

Kyle and I are huuuuuuge fans of Ghostbusters, the supernatural comedy starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis that hit movie theaters 30 years ago this June. Sigh... time flies so quickly. In honor of Ghostbusters turning 30, here is SMASH artist Kyle Bolton's take on Peter Venkman (Bill Murray): "Come in, Ray..."
