INTERVIEW: From London to NYCC with Cosplayer “6 Seasons and a Movie”

There’s a ton of stuff to look forward to when New York Comic Con rolls around, no matter who you are or what you’re into; exclusives, collectibles, cosplays, panels, celebrities, premieres, attractions, the list goes on.  This year, for me, however, I most anticipated a conversation with a new friend named Paul, a London-based cosplayer […]

CBLDF’s Charles Brownstein on the history and future of activism in comics

by Ricardo Serrano Denis Comic books have a history of speaking out against tough topics in times where divisiveness, social strife, and even trauma are laid bare and haven’t even started to heal. One of the reasons why they do so, mostly, is because their weekly single-issue publication model keeps them current. They are intensely […]

INTERVIEW: Scott Snyder Talks Baby Starro, Fish Zombies, and More!

For a writer known for exploring the darkest aspects of humanity, Scott Snyder has got to be one of the sweetest guys in comics you’ll ever meet. From chronicling the adventures of the Dark Knight to his current gig shepherding the DC Universe with DC’s premiere superhero team Justice League, Snyder certainly has come a […]

INTERVIEW: Blacker & Andolfo Hope HEX WIVES Will Put a Spell on You

by Will Henderson For centuries, a coven of perpetually reincarnating witches has waged war against the all-male conspiracy known as “The Architects.” After killing the lead Architect, the witches should have been done – but they’re not, thanks to Hex Wives writer Ben Blacker and artist Mirka Andolfo. Seems the Architects aren’t quite done with […]
