SDCC Coverage sponsored by Mad Cave Oathbound #1 Created by: Luke HorsemanKickstarter Link: Oathbound #1 I need to preface this review by saying I am a huge fan of Luke Horsman’s artwork, which appeared most prominently in Prog and Judge Dredd Megazine in 2000. Not only does Horsman have a keen eye for character designs, but he also has an over-aesthetic of his own (he’s going to be at home in animation during the heyday of adult swim). He brings playfulness to all of his works, whether it’s a traditional fantasy, a space adventure, or Judge Dread. Also…

It is a space opera in a way that can be said that only Hickman has been added considerably by the art of his collaborators, Coero and Vicentini. Marvel obviously hits their…
SDCC COVERAGE SPONSORED BY MAD CAVE The use of comics in academic settings was quite simply unheard of up until quite recently. Resistance came from traditionalists and purists that didn’t consider comics to be up the standards of literature and culture (part of that dreaded high culture vs. low culture debate). Things have gotten better, though. There are postgraduate degrees on comics on offer and curriculums have embraced them more openly, if still a little guardedly. Now that comics are in the classroom, though, it falls to educators and learners to extend their reach, to broaden the…
