BUFFY HAS F*#$ING SUPERPOWERS!
The Nerdy Bird brings you a VERY special anniversary edition of DoubleDCoverage! Reviews/recaps for Batman and Robin #10 & Superman: Last Stand of New Krypton #1 PLUS some super-duper special exclusive extras!!
Can you imagine what it’s like being responsible for bringing characters fans have come to know and love over 7 seasons of TV to the comic page? That’s the duty Buffy artist Georges Jeanty shouldered when Joss Whedon handpicked him for the gig. Fazed? Hardly. Jeanty was too busy enjoying his comics, sci-fi and horror to notice the pressure.
Can you imagine what it’s like being responsible for bringing characters fans have come to know and love over seven seasons of television to the comic page? That’s the duty Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 artist Georges Jeanty shouldered when Joss Whedon handpicked him for the gig. Fazed? Hardly. Jeanty was too busy enjoying his comics, sci-fi and horror to notice the pressure. I got to chat with the hard-working illustrator about his love of the Slayer and what’s coming up in the series now that Season 8 is coming to a head. And will there be a Season 9? Read on to find out!

A very special one-shot ships today from Dark Horse—and it’s just in time for the holidays. Avid Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans might not be able to have their favorite witch gift-wrapped under the tree this year, but they can snatch a generous dose of Willow action in today’s comic. Guest artist Karl Moline agreed to sit down and answer some of our pressing questions. Who is that serpent lady on the cover and what does she want with Willow? What’s it like working with Joss Whedon? And most importantly, who’d win in a pillow fight: Spike or Angel? Okay, I made that one up, but Moline does give us the behind-the-scenes skinny on the Willow extravaganza.

Coloring has come a long way in comics. From pastels to the incredibly detailed, shaded pages we browse through today, coloring plays an integral part in making comics look their best. Not to mention one slip up can throw die-hard fans into a frenzy.

We know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but who can help it with such fantastic art? When your comic sits next to dozens of others on a rack come New Comics Wednesday, you need an amazing cover to make it pop.

A comic just wouldn’t be a comic without art. Pencils are as crucial to a comic book as good writing, but an astute reader knows how important inking is to the overall presentation, as well. The best talent can blend them not only to fit his own work, but also to bolster the comic’s mood and style.

Limited series come and go, but often they make the biggest impressions. Creators are allowed to helm their comic for its entire run, and with the shorter lifespan, many of our favorite comic books are the ones that start in sight of the finish line.
