I have two new interviews up at Broken Frontier. One is with Perth writer Shane McCarthy. He’s a nice fella and goes to the same LCS as me. He has some interesting things to say about the ‘biz’ and how he got into it, while writing Batman and the current and popular All Hail Megatron series for IDW. Read the interview here.
There’s also my interview with artist Steve Scott. He used to be a firefighter, he’s met President Bush and has had his work displayed in European galleries. My interview with Scott is here.

They’ve had success with similar cheap launches, such as the After Watchmen…What’s Next? series of re-prints. This is a wise marketing move, and will only help give this series the attention it deserves.
“This is our first attempt at creating something specifically for digital distribution,” stated series creator, 
Now this is a press release I can get excited about. The comics website, Broken Frontier has just received a classy facelift. BF has been around since 2002 and why there may be many comics sites out there, the Frontier has always given coverage to the spandex clan as well as indie gems.
