“I remember thinking about the conflict of physically fighting something you don’t believe in and wondering exactly how that works out.”
Chris Arrant talks to Justin Aclin and Ben Bates at Newsarama about their Dark Horse Presents story SHOOT FIRST.

Q: If you weren’t an artist what would you want to do for work? A: A year ago I would have said go mad and live off the dole, because I can’t do anything else. But now I think I would be a writer, as I realize there’s a lot of storytelling I could do that I don’t get to do in my illustration work. Erika Moen was interviewed at Emerald City Comicon by the folks at Sutmptown Trade Review. Portland’s KBOO radio broadcasted an interview and reading from Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel the other day. Missed it? That’s OK, you can listen to the half-hour program at the station’s archives. The authors and interviewer presented the program as if the Victorian robot were real, and got a couple of angry calls…  Orson's broadcast ironically caps Campion's story in the Boilerplate book. Paul Guinan is Guest of Honor at STEAMCON this weekend. The folks at Seattle Geekly interviewed Paul and Anina about the Victorian robot Boilerplate, and steampunk in general, for their October 15 episode.
Paul Guinan’s Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel is in stores now, and here’s this week’s reaction: “Visually and thematically stunning” An interview with Paul about the victorian robot is at NEWSARAMA.  A Robot Cop CBR has posted an interview with Paul and Boilerplate co-author/wife Anina Bennett. They talk about the creation of the Victorian robot, their intent with the book, and provide hitherto unknown tidbits about the coffee-table tome.  Paul, Boilerplate, and Anina An interview with Colleen Coover is being featured in Alan David Doane’s newest eBook , Conversations with ADD: The Comics Interviews with Alan David Doane. It’s now available for free download at his blog Comic Book Galaxy. It features interviews taken between 1999 and 2009 with several artists, writers, editors and and publishers speaking about their careers as well as where they think the future of comics is going. Go check it out! Those who still think young women’s diaries are full of blushing and crushes will be shocked by Erika Moen’s online journal. DAR! A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary is a webcomic that can be raw, ribald, and revelatory. The strips are always insightful and funny, although firmly adult. There’s a great interview with the Underground boys up now at Robot 6: Lieber: Underground is all about the irrevocable consequences of a few bad decisions. You can do a lot of things in a shared superhero universe, but irrevocable consequences? No such thing. For that, you’ve got to tell your own story. Parker: In issue one, Wes tries to tell the people of Marion how one wrong move in a cave can destroy a delicate crystal formation that took fifteen-thousand years to develop. She’s right, but their community’s fragile, too, and if they don’t take action to save it, it’s gonna fall apart. There are moments like that in every life, where the wrong choice can send things spiraling out of control, changing things forever. You can’t tell that story in a world where Superman can spin the earth backward, in clear defiance of Marlon Brando’s sternest warnings. |
