The other day at a comic shop I saw a flier for the upcoming Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! #1. It was advertised having writer Kate Leth and artist Brittney Williams attached. I think it’s great that the two of them are on this book, as I enjoy the work they’ve put out over at BOOM!…
Review by Joshua Pantalleresco I eagerly awaited Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan on Conan. I’ve been a big fan of Brian’s since he released Channel Zero way back in the mid nineties. It was angry, rebellious and thoughtful. Ever since, he has done a number of excellent books including Demo, Local, Northlanders and DMZ. I’m…

Bleeding Cool seems to think so. Check out the article and artwork at http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/10/03/conan-by-brian-wood-and-becky-cloonan/ and judge for yourself. Is this rumor true? Place your bets.
It seems every month that a new comic comes out purporting to offer a new, more realistic slant on superheroes. From Watchmen to Next Men to Powers to Kick Ass, that idea has long been a popular one. Except, none of those comics feel very real. Sure, they take elements from reality and offer a…
Two of our comic friends’ posts follow up on news we reported here earlier on two ongoing contests. Becky Cloonan notes that she was selected as one of the 18 finalists in the first-ever International Manga Awards, first mentioned on ComicMix back on May 25. Way to go, Becky!

By and large comics aren’t the best-paying gig around for writers and artists, so people who make a living telling comic book stories are primarily doing it for the love of the medium. There’s far less of a dividing line between fan and pro than there is in other entertainment media — in comics it’s…
