One of the coolest things about SDCC was interviewing talent on the show floor. As a big fan of Adam Hughes’ work I made a point to track him down and chat about some of his upcoming projects. The primary thing I was interested in was his work on the “Cover Girls of the DC Universe” line, which is going to make me broke over the next year or so. I know what I am asking for for my birthday. And anniversary. And Christmas.

Anyway, the interview turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. Adam had some very interesting things to say-going into detail about how he personalizes iconic characters and what character he “aches” to take a stab at illustrating. Funny enough…it’s not even a lady! Hit the jump for more info!

Better late than never right? About a month ago the Girls Entertainment Network comic book team reviewed the work of Eisner nominees in ten different categories. All in all it ended up being nearly 50 mini-reviews of some of the most respected properties of the year. Many publishers were fantastic and sent us copies of the selected works. The remaining pieces we scrounged up on our own. The whole process was a ridiculous amount of work (especially for our editor Stephanie), but it was well worth it in the end!

And while the Eisner winners have already been announced (see the list after the jump), I still think there is merit in reading through it-these are the best books of the year after all! So if you have a second feel free to browse through the nominees by category. It even functions as a buying guide if you are new to comics!

Demo is one of those books that comes far and few between. Hidden behind an uninspiring cover and told on pages devoid of color, Demo reminds us what it means to be human. Needless to say, I love and highly recommend this book. Read on for a link to the full review.

I am falling more and more in love with Vertigo comics every day. I just reviewed House of Mystery: Room & Boredom for the Girls Entertainment Network. Bottom line? Room & Boredom is like nothing I have read before. It mixes fantasy and horror, the luxurious and grotesque and the ordinary and extraordinary. I highly recommend it for someone wishing to read work off the beaten path. Read on for a taste of the review! Continue Reading…
