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.

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?

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.

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.)

While Kevin Conroy took us deep into the heart of Batman, and Paul Dini unraveled the mind of the character, Batman: Arkham Asylum director Sefton Hill from Rocksteady Studios broke the Bat and his rogues’ gallery down from a video game perspective. The developer addressed our pressing roundtable questions as to why the Boy Wonder was excluded from the game, what kind of gameplay we’ll experience as the Caped Crusader, what influenced the change in the appearances of characters like Harley Quinn, and how the team handled the pressure built up from previous Batman crash-and-burns.

Our Batman: Arkham Asylum roundtable experience continued with writer Paul Dini, whose creative pen has hit paper for comics, animation, and television. The creator of Harley Quinn—the fan-favorite blonde bombshell who fell head over red-and-black heels for the Clown Prince of Crime—laid out his deck of cards, revealing the secrets behind Arkham Asylum’s story. Dini discussed the challenges that separate video games from comics, his view on Harley’s dangerous new look, and mentions some of the darker moments Batman undergoes in B:AA. As a bonus, the writer answers to the fate of the new female Ventriloquist and teases us with some things he’s pretty much mum about.

We managed to grab a seat at the Batman: Arkham Asylum roundtable at this year’s Comic-Con. We sat down with voice talent Kevin Conroy, Batman scribe Paul Dini, and developer Sefton Hill to discuss the upcoming game, among other things. The roundtable kicked off with the highly praised Kevin Conroy, who’s been king of Batmen since The Animated Series debuted in 1992.
