Joe Brusha is a busy man in comics these days. When his hands aren’t full of comics from managing Zenescope Entertainment as president, his pen and ideas are hitting paper. His latest contribution? Brusha has been putting his creative mind to work with the all-new, upcoming Neverland twist. The writer/company president agreed to take the time from his daily routine to give GEN the scoop on Peter and his boyhood pals … and foes.
Things get curiouser and curiouser as Reppion and Moore travel hand-in-hand with Alice this winter.
Awakening author Nick Tapalansky talks comics, zombies and zombie comics with The Nerdy Bird. Plus, Mexican brothels?!
Way back in 1994 The Cranberries posed the question, “What’s in your head?” They were also kind enough to give us the answer: Zombies! Yesterday I brought you the review of Awakening - Volume 1 from Archaia Comics, today I dig deep into the recesses of Tapalansky’s head and find, thankfully, he can still be counted among the living. Alex Eckman-Lawn, his artist? Maybe not so much.
Check out what Tapalansky had to say about the sad state of the zombie world today, Awakening’s time out and what he would do if zombies ever attacked. He’s got the most original answer I’ve ever heard. Read the full story
Last time we interviewed Johnny Zito and Tony Trov—the creative minds behind The Black Cherry Bombshells. But what about the comic’s illustrator, Sacha Borisich? We asked the artist about her female role at Zuda, what she thinks of the digital medium, and her reaction to the zombie-infested, girl gang story.
Johnny Zito and Tony Trov aren’t afraid to show their love for their girl-meets-zombie web comic, The Black Cherry Bombshells. That passion recently earned their co-written work a Harvey Award nomination and an upcoming spot on Zuda Comics’ exclusive print list. I talked with the force that’s been taking Zuda by storm about their success and inspiration, the experience of working with a digital publisher, and the future of BCB. Plus, the team’s illustrative member, Sacha Borisich, jumps in for the second part of the interview tomorrow.
Writer Tom Pinchuk teamed up with illustrator Kate Glasheen to create Hybrid Bastards, a mini-series published by Archaia that centers on ancient mythology with a modern, weird twist that fits the hidden eccentricities of its groundwork. We talked with Pinchuk about his interest in comics and Greco-Roman culture, how Hybrid Bastards came to be, and what else he’s been busy with on the comics scene.
The wise-cracking, regeneratin’ mercenary for hire—fondly referred to as Deadpool—can’t help being drawn to money, explosions, and rockin’ babes (at least half of which are in his head). Thanks to current Deadpool writer Daniel Way, the Merc with a Mouth now stumbles into enough yellow word balloon-adorned, thrilling adventures to keep the talkative star and his fans more than happy.
Way took us behind the pages, answering our questions about what makes Deadpool a worthy character, his thoughts on a certain not-so-hot incarnation, the other comics he’s working on, and which superhero of all comic time would make for the number one Deadpool team-up. (Let’s just say you wouldn’t hear me complaining.)
The Nerdy Bird talks Power Girl with DC Comics’ artist Amanda Conner! What’s in store for our favorite busty hero and why exactly is she so busty?
VirtualGirl and WITA nabbed the chance to speak with the mind and vision behind Scott Pilgrim, Bryan Lee O’Malley, at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. What kind of details did he spill about the future of the book and how it came to be? What else awaits fans in the coming months?
Phil Hester has been shaking up The Darkness, pumping out one solid issue after another in style. Unless you’ve been living under a rock here at GEN and you still think Dick Grayson is Robin, you’ve probably figured out that The Darkness has become one of my favorite comics. Meeting Darkness scribe Phil Hester was an absolute blast. In between some good laughs, he gave me the scoop on the changes we’ll be seeing in Jackie and the book itself, the mysterious Foreigner and the even more aloof Sovereign, and even a little about War of the Witchblades and a few of Hester’s upcoming projects. What about Jackie proves difficult to write? How does Hester feel about the infamous Darklings? Sit back and find out.
