Artist August: Becky Cloonan [Art Feature]

By | Aug 18, 2014 | Columns

I first discovered Becky Cloonan’s work browsing DeviantArt, specifically looking at her work on her self-published comic Wolves. Her work roped me in immediately. It was dark, romantic, ancient, with a mix of fairy tale and myth. That’s what I got just from a glance on DeviantArt. Becky’s work evokes stories immediately. There’s so many […]

By | Aug 17, 2014 | Columns

You should know who Chris Samnee is. It’s almost becoming harder and hard to talk about artists I love thanks to the internet giving a wider platform to any artist who can use it, but Chris Samnee is an artist I’ve wanted to talk about for a while. I’m pretty sure I first discovered Samnee […]

By | Aug 16, 2014 | Columns

Oddly enough, the first thing that made me aware of graphic novelist Faith Erin Hicks was a Wolverine comic. It’s not because she’s a frequent contributor to superhero comics, but somehow several years ago I had come across a link to this Wolverine short Marvel solicited her to create, which depicted the ol’ Canucklehead going […]

Artist August: Tula Lotay [Art Feature]

By | Aug 11, 2014 | Columns

Social media, when used properly, can be a comic creator’s best friend. It’s a tricky beast to handle, as it easily can push readers away just as easy as it can bring them in, but as someone who wrangles social media for a living, I’d say on the whole comic writers and artists leverage social […]
