At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, AIPT praised her marginalization by sitting with Taki Soma, creator of the Comixology series. During the enthusiastic chat, Soma revealed the inspiration behind the moving themes of the science fiction miniseries, sharing some fun behind the scenes stories. It is a snapshot of why alienated people are out of this world. Courtesy of Comixology. About the complexity of adolescence AIPT: First of all, I really enjoyed reading the latest issue of Alienation. For readers who are not familiar with the series, please tell us a little about the story. Takisama: Certainly, one day…
Matt Fraction certainly loves Batman. When I sat down to talk to him on Sunday (July 27th) at San Diego Comic-Con, the minutes didn’t hold back his love for the Dark Knight. His list of favorite Batman stories grows from classics like The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year 1 to modern writers like Grant Morrison, and lesser-known stories like Batman opposed the death of a doctor. It makes sense that he will become the next Batman writer. Even if he had no intention of taking over one of DC’s biggest books. “The stupid luck and timing that are the…
SDCC Coverage sponsored by Mad Cave Justice League International, Kraven’s Last Hunt, Moonshadow, Spider-Man: The Clone Saga, Dr. Fate, all classics are on the craft master’s resume. This year’s San Diego Comic Con 2025 was well won with seeing a spotlight panel dedicated to DeMatteis’ life and work. These types of panels often go down a crucial bit of little-known anecdotes, and industry knowledge, telling the location of figures on the overall trajectory of the medium’s history. Dematteis ticked all these boxes, but what really stood out from the hour-long panel was the notes he gave to the…
It’s disappointing to look outside and see what’s manifesting in every corner of America. But, if there is, um, to keep me in mind, it’s a comic. More specifically, in just a handful of recent interviews with writers, each discussed how reliable they can be in the media literacy of the average reader. And despite solid evidence to the contrary, sufficient creators believe their audiences to tackle these big, hefty stories that demand the most robust engagement. But Ee Zann and Godfarr trust only two people to trust their audience. The comic rookie rocked for the proverb fence along with…
The nature of Gehenna’s Grindhouse B-Movie: Naked Aggression #1 is palpable, and in this week’s issue #2, the race continues to stop the well-meaning temptation. While that may sound like a contradiction, Gaena has no choice and the blonde crime boss enforcer is hot in the tail. Prepare for bad shootouts and quick thinking detective jobs. Gehenna: Naked Aggression #2 begins with a hilarious and fun ISA checking out security cameras in your neighborhood. She uses them to track down Gaena who took out dozens of security guards who were meant to protect the son of a crime boss who…
If you’re looking for something to push through comics media, various crisis events will become your jam. It’s rare to push thought while holding storytelling in a 20-page comic, which continues in various Crisis Events #5. This is all about loops. We prepare to turn the entire comic upside down as we explore the meaning of Dennis Camp and Eric Zawaziki returning. Assorted Crisis Events #5 begins with pages intended to be read clockwise. In the center of the page, a young girl named Anna experiences her parents fighting and relying on violence. This 60 seconds of trauma will be…
A series that goes against the genre of acclaimed Taiwanese creator, Jang Shen, Yang returned on September 9, 2025 with the second volume. At the heart of this fascinating story is Yang Tyf Hua, the original Beijing Opera performer who has reappeared mysteriously in modern Taipei. Her return rekinds the investigation into the massacres of decades ago, and the quest for revenge soon involves detective Ray in a miserable web of truth that defies cold cases, supernatural forces, and logic. Here’s an overview from the publisher: This is my first time in English as a winner of the Golden Comic…
Time fractured after Gorilla Grod and the Legion of Destiny took Omega Energy in Justice League Unlimited’s “We Are Yesterday.” The Justice League managed to get the counterparts who had evacuated most of their time back to their legitimate locations in time, but the other heroes were not so lucky. These unfortunate heroes include Huntress (Helena Wayne), Batman Beyond, Plastic Man, Gold Beetle, Air Wave, The Amazing Man, Marilyn Moonlight and Jonahex. Time fractures made these time-varying heroes vulnerable to legions of Omega Demons who continue to hunt time travelers from the vanishing point. The latter group is essentially guardians…
SDCC Coverage sponsored by Mad Cave IDW has achieved amazing success under the trees that no one has seen last year, winning the best new series Eyesner nomination. This year, creator Patrick Horvas returned to San Diego Comic Con under a tree no one sees: Spring Ritual. Beat spoke with Horvath on Con about his favorite bear, then returned to SDCC to talk about the sequel, Rite of Spring. Javier Perez: Thank you for talking to me. You started to collect and rate my books. You spoke to my copy under the tree and asked me, “Don’t you…
Of Alcatraz, it was a punishing book for constant escalation, terrible murder, and the ever-present existence of imprisonment. It was amazing. But it feels like there’s no way to put things together with five issues. Each of the first four issues has to be cleared more and more layers of hurdles to provide what feels like a meaningful and powerful resolution. Each twist seemed to scream to yell for the other issues. oni Press What I didn’t consider to be a grindhouse type story is a cartoon that, like the ancestors of films from the late 1960s and early 1970s,…
