“According to E. Bennet Walsh, an Executive Producer of Kill Bill, Tarantino has formulated the plots for two sequels and may be heading back to China to film them. Part 3 would revolve around the revenge of two members of the Crazy 88s. Part 4 would focus on the daughters of Beatrix Kiddo and Vernita Green getting square, as was previously rumoured. Some even claim that the (previously unrevealed) daughters of Elle Driver and Gogo Yubari would also be featured.”

Shown above is the some team members of Studio Kaiju at MoCCA 2007. Being a long time anime fan, the Kaiju crew caught my eye right away. Kaiju is an interesting group because not only are they doing their own posters, books and t-shirts but they also create these very silly but amazing live action performance videos. The videos looks like an odd mash of a WWF wrestling match and a Godzilla film:
Below is a poster created by Kaiju’s designer-at-large Vinnie Arnone. You can’t quite see all the details in the below image but the poster looked fantastic up close, it featured all of these amazing little charcter designs:

When I first got to MoCCA I was sort of blown away by everything around me, so I snapped the above photo (because the giant bunny got my attention). A while later I came back to find that the table in question belonged Rabid Rabbit, a collective of artists that met via the School of Visual Arts MFA program. The artist in the above photo is Ben X. Trinh, not shown in the photo to his right was S. Y. Choi who handed me the cute postcard seen below:

Above is the table of Manual Comics at MoCCA 2007, I’m not sure who the guy is on the left (my journalism skills are pretty lacking these days – sorry!) but the fellow on the right is illustrator Brian Musikoff (aka B Musikoff). Brian was very excited about their series Mauled! which features a special tragedy theme for each issue:

Seen above is the crew behind the Love Bound Train at MoCCA 2007. The first thing that caught my eye at their booth was they had an animation playing that featured the theme of finding love on the L train, I quickly asked asked if they lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (my current hometown) and of course the answer was yes. I just loved looking at all the cool creative stuff that was jammed on their table:
They’re still working on launching their full website, but they do have a shop open were you can buy all sorts of interesting goodies:

Seen below is the cover of issue #3 by Miss Lasko-Gross:

E. J. Barnes is an illustrator from Amherst, Mass. as she was showing off copies of her noir inspired comics at MoCAA 2007. Below is a sample page from her book Confessions of an American Ling Master (which contains cool stuff like occult references, squalor and bad science):
… I’m impressed with E. J. because not only is she an illustrator/animator, but she also has a full degree in Chemistry!

Shown above is the crew from Calavera Comics at MoCCA 2007. I didn’t get a chance to look at their comics, but what blew me away was the wonderful graphic posters and t-shirts that they had on hand. They also have a cool blog worth visiting as well.
