This week, two original posts to Comic Maven's Archives:
Nick Macari (The Working Writer's Guide to Comics and Graphic Novels) Interview
I spoke to the writer of The Working Writer’s Guide to Comics and Graphic Novels, Nick Macari. Nick has been a part of the comic book industry since the late 90’s. He is a freelance comic book writer, story consultant, developmental editor, screenplay writer, novelist and ghostwriter. His book is meant to be a useful guide to writing comics. However, in my extensive interview with him we cover a variety of useful know-how for comic writers, from writing to publishing to even consulting on other people’s projects.
Best Comic Book Covers of 2015
"I've been doing the best comic book covers and worst comic book covers of the year lists for a couple of years now. It's always a joy to find breathtaking covers that will have the creators of the book hoping that you do judge a comic book by its cover. In the following list, I made sure not to include any issues from the same series or from the same cover artist. Some of these picks are from my previous monthly comic book cover lists (Best/Worst Comic Book Covers of February 2015 and Best/Worst Comic Book Covers of March 2015)."
I've also reprinted the following articles this week:
Remender Welcomed Back to Image Comics with Black Science
"Best-selling writer Rick Remender (responsible for the awesome current Captain America series and Uncanny Avengers) is returning to Image Comics with a new comic book that is a spiritual sequel to his Fear Agent series. This November he will be introducing Black Science, a story about scientists who travel through different dimensions and are on the run from absolute chaos."
Rocket Raccoon Gets His Own Ongoing Series
"A month before the Guardians of the Galaxy movie is released Marvel will be coming out with an ongoing series about everyone’s favorite rambunctious guardian of the galaxy Rocket Raccoon. And who better to write the cuddly (and murderous) raccoon than Skottie Young (Oz), whose covers turn Marvel’s most popular characters into adorable babies?"
