Earth-2 Reboots: Air Wave and Amazing Man

Sep 26, 2012 | | Comic Features

Welcome to The New 52 Earth-2 by James Robinson. These new All-Stars have come together not to fight the European Axis of Evil, including Adolf Hitler; but, to fend off an apocalyptic invasion by Darkseid! Here, there is no Trinity – Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. Sidekicks Robin and Supergirl are Earth-1’s Huntress and Power Girl. There doesn’t appear to be a Hawkman. Earth-2’s most brilliant mind, Terry Sloane is also the most dangerous one as well. Welcome to a brand new world!

Baltimore Comic-Con 2012: Interview about Comic WOW

Sep 22, 2012 | | Comic Features

When you think of cool tech websites you think of California, not Maryland!  But we have a cool new social network just for comic fans called Comic WOW and it’s based out of Baltimore, Maryland.  That’s really exciting!  The idea of a social network for comic fans sounded really neat, so I decided to get an interview with some of the employees at the Comic WOW booth at Baltimore Comic-Con.

Sep 21, 2012 | | Comic Features

Baltimore Comic-Con 2012: Interview with Mark Waid

Sep 19, 2012 | | Comic Features

If you’re into comics you’ve probably seem Mark Waid’s work somewhere.  He’s been writing for 25 years.  He is currently doing an award-winning run on Daredevil for Marvel.  He’s also well known for the creator-owned titles Irredeemable and Incorruptible which both take place in the same universe.  Recently he started the digital imprint Thrillbent (as of this writing, the site is offline after an attack) and has been writing Insufferable on there.  I got the chance to sit with Mark and speak for nearly 20 minutes about a lot of aspects of his career.  Again, I want to thank him for spending so much time with me at Baltimore Comic-Con.

Baltimore Comic-Con 2012: Interview with Thrillbent’s Christy Blanch

Sep 15, 2012 | | Comic Features

Mark Waid has started a neat digital comic publisher called Thrillbent.  Up until now Thrillbent has only published Luthor and Insufferable.  At a panel about Thrillbent (which I’ll be writing an article about for Player Affinity), Mark mentioned that in the next couple of months he’ll start publishing comics by many other writers with a goal of a new “issue” from a different writer every day.  One of the writers was in the audience that panel.  When I saw her at another panel I asked if I could interview her.

Baltimore Comic-Con 2012: Interview with Scott Snyder

Sep 14, 2012 | | Comic Features

When the press representative to Baltimore Comic-Con asked who I wanted to interview, I had three creators listed: Mark Waid, Peter J Tomasi, and Scott Snyder.  Unfortunately, there wasn’t room in the schedule for an interview with Snyder because they had Scott doing autographs nearly around the clock.  However, I was able to score an interview with him between signings on the condition that it be “literally five minutes”.  I certainly didn’t begrudge him – he’d been working nonstop since the show opened that day (and quite a fair bit the day before).  So I’d like to thank him very much for taking what ended up being 5 minutes and 58 seconds to talk with me.

Baltimore Comic-Con 2012: Interview with Tom Hutchison of Big Dog Ink

Sep 13, 2012 | | Comic Features

While roaming around the floor I came across a booth that caught my eye.  As someone that’s become somewhat of a Wizard of Oz fan thanks to the Marvel version of Baum’s book that took me deeper than the MGM film did.  There was a rack of issues for something that looked like a Western version of the Wizard of Oz.  That got me talking to main writer, Tom Hutchinson.  We agreed to do an interview Sunday morning.  Expect to see some reviews of books from Big Dog Ink in the next few days and weeks.

Baltimore Comic-Con 2012: Tara Piehl: Red Sonja Model

Sep 12, 2012 | | Comic Features

When we go to comic book conventions (or really any kind of convention) we mostly go to connect with creators of the media that we love or to buy and sell that hard to find artwork.  We notice the models working the booths because that’s what they’re there for – to draw us in so that we check out whatever their boss is peddling.  But we rarely get to know these people.  This is the third in a series of interviews I did with models at Baltimore Comic-Con.
