b336a53425 As if compensating for the comparative lack of color, DeForge makes the books centerpiece as sensual as possible: Its a full-on psychedelic freak-out laid atop a topless makeout session by an ersatz Maggie and Hopey. Anyway, this is part one of a longer interview, and focuses mainly on Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne, The Return of Bruce Wayne, Joe the Barbarian, 18 Days, and Morrisons desire to one day tackle the Flash and Wonder Woman. * The promising group comics blog The Panelists has moved from The Comics Journals website to their own site. In the guise of a nature guide, the cartoonist not only piles discomfiting detail (Its antlers are actually colonies of parasitic polyps that are first attached to the deer during adolescence) upon discomfiting detail (biologists nickname this phenomenon the sexual acqueduct'), but trots out a unique and fully formed full-color palette to do so; he then whisks the comic into unexpected territory by making it just as much about the obsessive in-story writer of the guide, whose face we never see even as evidence quietly accrues that his interest in these strange creatures has more or less ruined his life. * And in case you just saw the big Destructor image and clicked right through it in my early post, heres part one of my big interview about Destructor with The Cool Kids Tables Ben Morse and Kiel Phegley. * To me, the meat of Clive Barkers recent series of tweets is the forthcoming live-action teaser for his third Abarat book, not a supposed return to directing from Barker himself, which is what all the horror sites are talking about but which seems to me to stem from a possible misinterpretation of Barker referring to my next movie.
* Its Hans Rickheits next book, Folly. So its entirely possible that as effective and affecting as I find Mark Gruenwalds magnum opus, my real life is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. No, by all accounts (certainly by the testimonials from Mark Waid, Alex Ross, Kurt Busiek, Mike Carlin, Tom DeFalco, Ralph Macchio, and Catherine Gruenwald printed as supplemental materials here) Mark Gruenwald seems to be working in Squadron as a person who loves superheroes so much that he cant help but try to find out just how far he can take them. The look of panic on his face as he shouts Dont hurt Shape please! is tough to stomach. Question now that Ive read it: Where would Ware be without Richard McGuires Here? Tags: A Song of Ice and Fire, Carnival of souls, comics, Game of Thrones, George R.R. * Another fine, candid CBR interview with Marvels Tom Brevoort. Pick this thing apart (mostly by focusing on, again, Quitelys work with character design and body language) and you can maybe tease out the secret identity of Leo Quintum, the future of both Superman and Lex Luthor, assorted connections to Morrisons other DC work, and so on. And I say this as someone whos totally fine with the ABBA/Ace of Base riff she did with Alejandro, or the All the Young Dudes thing she did with Speechless, and so on and so forth. If you watch BSG and think that the series has shoved the Skyfather down your throat, I feel bad for you. These superheroes never did anything but bring Mark Gruenwald great joy, he wanted to repay that by doing something unprecedented with them, but as it turns out the unprecedented thing to do was to throw them away.
