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.
A special one-shot ships today from Dark Horse---just in time for the holidays. Buffy fans might not get their favorite witch gift-wrapped under the tree this year, but they can get a generous dose of Willow action. Guest artist Karl Moline answers some of our pressing questions after the jump.
Ariel Chylde, the nightmare-cursed main character from Randy Queen’s fan-favorite series Darkchylde, returns alongside none other than Jackie Estacado in an upcoming The Darkness/Darkchylde crossover this December. Bundled with the double dose of monsters from dark realms and nightly imaginations comes an eight-page preview of Randy and colorist Sarah Queen’s upcoming sci-fi comic, Starfall, and the premiere of Jackie’s corrupted Darkness armor.
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.
In the Top Cow universe, Arabian nights aren’t anything like Arabian days … and certainly not as hot.
The day that evil reigns and overwhelming light extinguishes us all? Yup, cloudy and chance of apocalypse.
