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.
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.
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.)
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. The conversation took us from Arkham Asylum to the Joker, the current age of Batman comics, Hamlet, and beyond.
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?
