Yes! This book finally comes out tomorrow (Wednesday, October 18). I can't wait!
Note: We ordered an unprecedented amount of copies of this book, but the number of pre-orders we've been getting has been through the roof. So beware! Take your time buying this book and you may find yourself wanting.

From Booklist:
From latter-nineteenth--century Fabletown in Manhattan, Snow White is dispatched to the Arabian sultan's court in the homeland to enlist his support in the fight against the Adversary, who drove the European fables into exile but hasn't yet threatened the Middle Eastern contingent. The ruler entraps her, and she must, a la Scheherazade, tell him the primary contents of the book to stay alive while wooing his cooperation. The stories are both clever and psychologically explanatory of the characters as they appear in the ongoing, contemporarily set Fables story.

In order to keep my attention for 9:44 you've got to have something going for you. From fanboy favorites such as The Simpsons and Star Wars to obligatory impressionist fodder like Jack Nicholson, this guy hits 'em all. Observe:

His encore is less impressive, as he seems to be trying out new voices. However, it is in imperative that you skip ahead to 5:39 and watch him reenact Top Gun scenes using different voice. Listening to Hank Hill explain to Napoleon Dynomite's Kip that he saw the Mig pilot because he was inverted had me on the floor:

One of my top 3 favorite comic book storylines of all time is being turned into a movie. Its scheduled release date is March 9, 2007.

Synopsis:
Set in the midst of the Persian-Greco war, the project revolves around the Battle of Thermopylae, where Spartan king Leonidas led his army of 300 soldiers into battle against the invading Persian army. According to legend, their valor and sacrifice inspired all of Greece to unite against their Persian foe, leading to the origins of democracy.
