Signed Copies of Hawkeye #7 Net Extra Dollars for the Red Cross

signedhawkeye

Writer Matt Fraction paid the Studio a visit the other day for a Hawkeye #7 signing party with issue artists Steve Lieber and Jesse Hamm. The team signed 100 copies of the Hurricane Sandy-themed story released earlier this month. The comics will end up at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find in North Carolina, where the store owners will be selling them at $10 each with all proceeds going to the Red Cross. Considering that Matt is already donating his royalties from this issue to the same organization, it’s a great opportunity for comics fans to help those in need while nabbing a unique and collectible slice of the blockbuster series.

Our best and worst picks for comic book movies.

In a recent Oregonian article called “Once a fan, always a fan: Portland’s comic book elite pick their most beloved (and bemoaned) comics movies” many Periscope members chimed in. Here’s what we picked.

Steve Lieber’s Alabaster:Wolves #2

Steve Lieber has been doing remarkable work recently. He’s illustrating Alabaster: Wolves, a dark fantasy miniseries from Dark Horse, written by World Fantasy Award-winning novelist Caitlin R Kiernan. The 2nd issue came out last week, and the critics have been raving about it. Here are some of the many positive reviews, and a gallery of art from the issue, colored by Rachelle Rosenberg.
