My interview with writers Jim McCann and Jen Van Meter is up now at Broken Frontier here. McCann wrote Return of the Dapper Men and Van Meter wrote Black Lightning: Year One, and I’m a fan of both. The pair are scribes of next week’s Avengers Solo mini-series that sees archer Hawkeye getting the spotlight with [...]
Nathan Edmondson News
Writer of Olympus, and The Light from Image Comics has his hands on the old Wildstorm character, Grifter. I’m not a fan of the character, but I’m curious to see what Edmondson (and artist Cafu) does with him when it debuts this week. A preview of Grifter #1 is below, and you can hear an [...]
The Frontiersman #27
The latest issue of the digital mag from Broken Frontier is now up, and it’s awesome, and I don’t just say that because I wrote some of the content. Not much content sure, but there’s some great stuff in the 118 pages including a run down of all 52 new series from DC, with some [...]

Brits on Top Week at Broken Frontier
All week at Broken Frontier will be a veritable treasure trove of articles and interviews focused on British comics, and creators.

Yay!), Pat Mills talking about 2000AD [...]
Grant Morrison Interview
Comics Alliance has a pretty revealing interview with writer Grant Morrison about his work on Batman Incorporated, films and his upcoming work on the rebooted Action Comics, in which we’ll see a new, inexperienced Superman. With Action Comics, we’re certainly dealing with a Superman that doesn’t have his parents anymore. Both Ma and Pa Kent are [...]
Sam Sarkar Interview
Now up at Broken Frontier is my interview with Sam Sarkar, writer of the new Image mini-series, The Vault. The first issue is out tomorrow and is definitely worth picking up.

Skullkickers And The Sixth Gun
The two co-creators behind two successful new series talk to each other about breaking into comics and all manner of things.

Zub: Time management is [...]
