Jimmy Palmiotti Tackles the Undead and the Unexpected in “Star-Spangled War Stories Featuring G.I. Zombie” [Interview]

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 24, 2014 | Interviews

One of the more unique, and detached from the main DCU, books DC is currently publishing is “Star-Spangled War Stories,” a book that splits the difference between a military and a horror comic. Featuring stunning covers by Darwyn Cooke and interiors by Scott Hampton, the book is one of the more visually arresting books on […]

Adam P. Knave Gets Real About Comic Careers [Interview]

By Leo Johnson | Nov 24, 2014 | Interviews

Comics are a hard industry to break into, much less make a career with. There’s lots of competition and even if a creator has talent and ideas, that career may still remain elusive. This was the sort of thing that Adam P. Knave was talking about when he took to Twitter one day. It’s a […]

The “Eternal” Team Gives a Sneak Peak to a World Without Death [Interview]

By Cassandra Clarke | Nov 18, 2014 | Interviews

When death is a thing of the past, how does this change a world? When people can be cloned, how does the government start to maintain the world from acting without any concern to life? “Eternal” asks and answers these exact kind of mind-bending, thrilling questions of a world without mortality. This is exactly the type […]

Yehudi Mercado, Bachan Blast Off With “Rocket Salvage” [Interview]

By Leo Johnson | Nov 17, 2014 | Interviews

Family is often a weird thing. You may not always get along with these people, but you’re still a part of the same whole. It may not always be easy, but a family can often make it work. That’s the sort of sentiment that’s at the heart of “Rocket Salvage”, a new Boom! book from writer […]

Scott Kowalchuk Walks Like an Egyptian with King Tut in “Batman ’66” Chapter 47 [Interview]

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 13, 2014 | Interviews

Starting with yesterday’s Chapter 47, artist Scott Kowalchuk (“Down Set Fight,” “The Mysterious Strangers”) joins writer Jeff Parker on “Batman ’66,” working with one of the most fun characters to come out of the series – King Tut! We talked to Kowalchuk about his work on the series, what attracted him to drawing the book, […]

Alien Invasions and Personal Sacrifice: Paul Allor Discusses Strange Nation #8 [Interview]

By Leo Johnson | Nov 12, 2014 | Interviews

Bigfoot, Elvis, alien invasions, cults. All are staples of tabloid newspaper, papers that you know can’t be real but can’t help but read. One of the first books to launch at Monkeybrain after the initial titles, “Strange Nation” takes all these tabloid staples and ties them together in a plot that threatens the very existence […]

Allor and Koh Pitch “XOXO” to the Internet [Interview]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 12, 2014 | Interviews

Yesterday online, writer Paul Allor and artist Irene Koh shared a pitch for a comic they’re doing called “XOXO.” A romance comic planned as “an anthology series of stories set in a shared universe (think “Criminal”, but with romance)”, the pitch is short and sweet and funny and very well illustrated and engendered a lot […]

Jason Rodriguez on “Colonial Comics” and Educating Kids Through Sequential Art [Interview]

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 5, 2014 | Interviews

At New York Comic Con this past October, I was introduced to Jason Rodriguez by our mutual pal Joshua Hale Fialkov. Jason (editor on “Elk’s Run” and “Postcards”), was there talking about “Colonial Comics: 1620-1750,” an anthology he edited for Fulcrum Books that told many of the stories of the colonial era through sequential art. […]

My E-mails with Ales, Part 3: The End of the Trilogy

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 3, 2014 | Interviews

It has been two months since Ales and I started doing an e-mail interview, and one month since we last spoke. In that time we’ve talked almost everything: his work, his life, his past, his future, fungi, race relations, war, PTSD, Burroughs, poetry and more. Today is no different. Today brings the final part of […]

Lived-In Sci-Fi and Breaking Stereotypes: Antony Johnston Talks “The Fuse” #7 [Interview]

By Leo Johnson | Nov 3, 2014 | Interviews

Antony Johnston has been building worlds for years. Whether it’s “Wasteland”, his work on various video games, or his recent Image books “Umbral” and “The Fuse”, Johnston has a knack for making the story feel immersive. “The Fuse” is no different as Johnston and artist Justin Greenwood take us high above the planet Earth to The […]

Exclusive: Jurgens Talks Vostok, KG Beast, and How They Fit Into “Aquaman and the Others” #7 [Interview]

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 3, 2014 | Interviews

Aquaman went from a character that was dead, and not all that missed, in 2009, to a character that is central to the Justice League and headlining two of his own books in 2014. Few characters have had more of a dramatic turnaround in half a decade. Dan Jurgens is one of the few creators […]

Vertigo Anthology Writers Discuss Vertigo’s CMYK Anthology [Interview]

By Leo Johnson | Oct 27, 2014 | Interviews

There’s an art to an anthology story, in my opinion. The creators have just a handful of pages to make a good story, the very same thing we see other creators struggle with in an entire issue or even story arc. While anthologies tend to be something smaller publishers do to give new creators a […]

Joe Jusko Talks the Past and Future of the Marvel Masterpieces Cards [Interview]

By David Harper | Oct 22, 2014 | Interviews

In the process of putting together my immense piece on the history and impact of the old Marvel Universe cards, I spoke with a lot of people to put it together. One of those – my chat with Joe Jusko – ended up being a bigger interview, as we talked about not just his work […]

The Language of Color and How to Color Gods with Matt Wilson [Interview]

By Cassandra Clarke | Oct 22, 2014 | Interviews

Channeling more technicolor glitter than the 1980’s or Prince’s wettest dream, “The Wicked + The Divine,” has turned up the comic world to a mythic ride of brash wit and bold story-telling. Gillen, McKelvie, and Matt Wilson, cleverly weave a world where gods are reincarnated every 90 years as pop-stars in a cycle called the […]

Gods, Mortals and Pop on Fire: Chatting with Team #WicDiv at NYCC [Interview]

By James Johnston | Oct 22, 2014 | Interviews

Have you heard of this “The Wicked + The Divine” comic? We kind of like it. And if you’re like us, the issue that dropped today and concluded the series’s first arc has left you in all sorts of tatters, seeking emotional support through the internet and by yelling at your friends to just read […]

Nic Klein and Tom Muller Talk the Look of the Future in “Drifter” [Interview]

By David Harper | Oct 20, 2014 | Interviews

For those who love science fiction, I have good news for you: Image Comics has a doozy of a comic coming out in November in “Drifter” #1. This book from writer Ivan Brandon and artist Nic Klein is a really exceptional debut, and delivers a story that feels like a more hardened version of the […]

Ivan Brandon Tackles Threadbare Sci-Fi and What It Means To Be Human With “Drifter” [Interview]

By Leo Johnson | Oct 20, 2014 | Interviews

Science fiction comics so often feature a slick, advanced world. A world where all the technology that got the humans to a faraway planet was automatically adapted to that planet too. What we rarely see is the “frontier times”. The times when there is no infrastructure to accommodate that amazing technology from Earth and the new […]

Talking Valiant Beginnings and Futures Ends with Writer Jeff Lemire [Interview]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 16, 2014 | Interviews

I first became aware of Jeff Lemire’s work shortly before New York Comic Con 2010, when a friend insisted I buy “Sweet Tooth” Volume 1 after I mentioned how I really enjoyed the “Brightest Day: Atom” special earlier that summer. It is hard to believe that four years ago, Lemire was considered an unproven newcomer […]

Alex de Campi Wants to Kill Boring Horror Comics [Interview]

By Cassandra Clarke | Oct 15, 2014 | Interviews

Alex de Campi’s terrifyingly fun new title “Archie Meets Predator” (artwork by Fernando Ruiz) from Dark Horse comics is coming to the stands in Spring 2015. To celebrate Alex de Campi, the lady that writes “Grindhouse” a two-issue arc sleaze-fest trashy-gore horror anthology for Dark Horse, “Valentine,” “Ashes/Smoke,” now killing off the teens of Riverdale, I […]

Cory Doctorow Breaks Down Our World “In Real Life” [Interview]

By Cassandra Clarke | Oct 14, 2014 | Interviews

Cory Doctorow, writer of “Homeland,” “Little Brother,” “Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free: Laws for the Internet Age,” editor of Boing Boing, Internet activist (and yes by that I mean he works to make the Internet work as an activist) and more, has written his first graphic novel, “In Real Life.” “In Real Life” is adapted from Doctorow’s […]

Mayday #1

Exclusive: Pires and Peterson Bring “Mayday” to Black Mask Comics [Interview]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 8, 2014 | Interviews

One publisher to start making waves and ripples in the comic community is Black Mask Studios. Launching with books like “Ballistic” and “12 Reasons to Die” from Ghostface Killah, the studio has had a pretty unapologetic early existence pushing some absolutely crazy/fun comics of a different variety. To keep with their trend of publishing crazy/fun […]
