Talking ‘Archaia’ with New Publisher Mike Kennedy

Hope you like the interviews we’ve been doing because they’re not stopping any time soon! Today’s interview is with Mike Kennedy who was recently announced as the new Publisher for Archaia. Mike has a rich history with comics and video games (we cover those too) and so we took the oppurtunity to ask him some questions about working in both mediums and what his plans are for Archaia.

Axe Cop chops his way to the climactic conclusion of the Bad Guy Earth trilogy this month. I won’t spoil what happens in this advance review, but suffice it to say: It’s so good that it’ll chop off your head with awesomeness!

DC’s Flashpoint Emporer Aquaman & Reverse Flash Cover Art/Details

The cover art for the book look fantastic.It looks like Aquaman is a lot tougher than what comic book fans give him credit.  I think that Aquaman has finally snapped and this is his retaliation to the entire world for all those jokes about him for always being a “lame” hero.   Ohh yeah there is some Reverse Flash art too if you like him as well.  Enjoy!

Cyber Monday: Dark Horse Digital

Welcome to another Cyber Monday where we look at the digital comic market. This week we’re taking a look at an entire service as Dark Horse comics launched its own app and browser viewer this week. Right off the bat I have to say that it’s refreshing to see that they haven’t gone with Comixology to house their goods. I think it’s a smart move since digital comics are now big enough to support themselves.  I wouldn’t be surprised if other companies do this once their contracts are up with Comixology.

Character Affinity: Shaman

Originally from a family of Sarcee Indian ancestry that
practiced the trade of mysticism, Michael Twoyoungmen is a founder of Alpha
Flight and was recently resurrected during the Chaos War.

Michael Twoyoungmen originally did not want to follow his
ancestry of sorcery.  Instead
Michael became a sergeant and physician, using the laws of science to treat and
heal others.  After the tragic
death of his wife, Michael left his daughter and isolated himself by living in a
forest until he met the spirit of his grandfather.  His grandfather, the chief medical shaman of his tribe, gave
Michael his bag that was the Twoyoungmen’s source of power.  This “medicine pouch” contains a
seemingly unlimited amount of potions and mystic elements allowing Shaman to
perform numerous acts of magic with deadly results to his enemies and aide to his
allies.

Bulletproof Coffin TPB – Review

Bulletproof Coffin’s trade paperback came out last week, from Image Comics. This book is part Madman, part Twin Peeks meets the golden age of comics. The book is brought to us by the creative team of David Hine and Shaky Kane, both characters in this story. At first glance, new readers might confused this book with a Mike Allred one, as the art style of the book might look similar to Mike’s style. But don’t let this fool you, this is not an Allred clone. Its been a while since Mr. Kane has published something, but with this series it feels like he never stopped. Readers might recognize a whole plethora of golden age creators that influenced this book. Steranko, Kirby, Mobeus, Stan Lee are some of the cogs in the big machine. In fact this book is a love letter to comic book creators and a social commentary on the big companies that have taken advantage of said creators.
