Although it does seem to be riding on the back of Brad Bird’s The Incredibles a little too closely, rather than standing up as the project it is on its own, a new press release announces that Chris (Runaway Brain, Clerks Cartoon, Kim Possible) Bailey’s graphic novel/DVD venture, Major Damage will debut in December. The 96-page book will come with the three-minute short (winner of the Silver Award at the Crested Butte Reel Fest in 2002) on a DVD disc that also includes storyboards to movie comparisons, preliminary paintings, and more. Full details here:
