Så er sommeren slut for Tegnseriesnak. Lasse gør status på årets sommerferielæsning som ikke kun har været positivt. Dog er han meget tilfreds med endelig at have læst Kurt Busieks Astro City – kun 102 issues phew. Vi snakker om Árnis lange arbejde med at få Mike Mignola til at komme til Danmark. Vi runder den nylige aftale mellem Mark Millars Millarworld og Netflix og så tager vi en kort snak om årets Eisner award. Arni har læst et par ”børne” tegneserier og har roser til Hilo af Judd Winick og The Nameless City af Faith Erin Hicks og i den anden grøft har han læst krimien 99 Days af Matteo Casali fra Vertigo Crime serien.
Los autores son Chris Samnee y Christos N. Gage y duante sus paginas podremos vernos inmersos en una investigación llena de acción, horror, carnicería, surrealismo y misterios. Esta era la quinta novela grafica que Vertigo sacaría para su línea Vertigo Crime, una línea editorial impresa en blanco y negro y que contaria con grandes autores como Azzarello entre otros y que fue publicado en 2010. Area 10 nos permitia disfrutar de nuevo del clásico cine o novela negra que tanto conocemos y que hemos disfrutado con una mezcla esotérica junto con un caso en el que veremos como los personajes, en algun momento de la novela, van a caer en las manos del asesino que hay tras el misterio sin probabilidades de escape. La sinopsis de la novela no te va a destapar ninguna sorpresa asi que os puedo dar una pincelada de la historia.
The Marvel MAX iteration of Frank Castle may have met his maker earlier this year, but a guy like that is bound to leave behind a lockbox or two, right? This week faithful readers inherit a lost case file from our dearly departed Punisher. Untold Tales of Punisher MAX #3 is a one-and-done story from crime writer Megan Abbott and artist Matteo Baffagni. Paul talks to the author about making the jump to comics and coaxing Frank Castle's long shadow to the tranquil suburbs. What film noir masterworks inspired Abbott's vision, and what other seedy comic locales would she like to visit in the future? All this, plus Abbott's woefully unpublished debut for the defunct Vertigo Crime line and the prospect of Punisher vs….high school cheerleaders? And don't miss Megan Abbott's new prose novel Dare Me, in stores now. Music: “Is That Clear” Nick Waterhouse
The final installment in Max Allan Collins' crime saga closes out an imprint that never lived up to its potential.
I don't think this imprint is long for the world, but there's been some decent stuff published so far.
Hoo, boy... The 11 O'Clock Comic train started off down the right track -- we chugged through topics like Top Shelf, the Apple iPad and our hopes and fears for the device and its impact on the comic book industry, more on Jon O's Mera and the emotional quotient to mark making, Fantastic Four #575, Remender's Punisher, The Chill and Area 10 from Vertigo Crime, Phil Hester's The Darkness from Top Cow, more Fables and Jack of Fables, Captain America, Fall of the Hulks (Alpha, Gamma, Incredible, Hulk, and Red, with a little Hulk: Winter Guard and What If? World War Hulk thrown in for good measure) -- but it all quickly runs off the rails as we begin our goodbyes when someone mentions the Deadpool variant for Siege #3, resulting in an additional twenty-some minutes of flat-out drunken CHAOS!
