OCTOBER 11, 2012 While we gear up for New York Comic Con this weekend, check out some new projects that inject a little fantasy into everyday life: A little girl who builds a robot friend, the totally true story of a fake movie, and a comic love story between a nun and a wrestler. Alison And Her Rainy Day Robot by robotchao Comics Brooklyn. NY Save it for a rainy day Alison and Her Rainy Day Robot is a cute comic about a little girl who overcomes rainy- day boredom by building a full-sized robot companion. But her invention goes awry when her supposed-to-be-fun- bot turns out to be, well, downright boring. Lucky for us, Eisner- nominated author Fred Chao is offering backers all kinds of extra-fun rewards to keep things interesting. He also promises penguins.

NY Masaaki Yuasa's "Kick-Heart" by Production I G Animation Los Angeles. CA Based on the true story of a CIA agent who sneaked six US diplomats out of hostile territory by disguising them as the crew of a fake film, Science Fiction Land is a documentary exploring a little-known fact: the "fake film" was real. Written by an enigmatic young inventor in the '70s, this sci-fi dream project collapsed amid a cloud of suspicion — but the tale of its undoing can avoid the same fate. IN EXPLORE THIS PROJECT Romeo vs. Juliet Set inside the gritty underworld of Japanese professional wrestling, Kick-Heart is the unconventional love story of two pro wrestlers burdened with secrets: one loves to lose, and the other is a nun. Known for breaking boundaries in animation, director Masaaki Yuasa's freewheeling style renders a tender romance with the force of a piledriver.
