Step right this way for stuff the likes of which one formerly had to attend a con to get ... T shirts, key chains, necklaces, and wristbands, now coming to your favorite shopping mall courtesy of Hot Topic, the boutique beloved by wannabe Goth guys and gals.

To give Hot Topic credit, I do have to say that they were also the only place where you could get T shirts for Neil Gaiman's MirrorMask.

(What I can't figure out is the situation with the Death Note live-action movie itself, for which this Hot Topic deal is a tie-in/promo. There are special showings May 20-21, for which you have (had?) to enter and win a little contest, and the DVD is coming in September, but will the movie ever go into regular release? It sounds like it's going direct to DVD.)
