Biff Bam Pop Exclusive! This One Goes To 27 – Andy Burns talks to Charles Soule, author of 27
A few weeks back at Fan Expo, I had the opportunity to meet Charles Soule, author of the music inspired 27 from Shadowline/Image. I hadn’t read the series, but I’d noticed it pop up on the Comixology App a few times over the last little while and I was intrigued. As it happened, Charles had copies of the gorgeous trade paperback for sale. I picked one up, had him and cover artist W. Scott Forbes sign it and went on my merry way. A couple of hours later I was home, and started reading the book. A couple of hours after that, I was finished. 27 was a great story, one of the best things I’ve read in a few years. You don’t have to be a music expert to enjoy it (though it does add to the experience), you just have to dig great art and storytelling.
On that note, I share with you an exclusive email interview with Charles Soule where we discuss the roots of 27, collaboration, rock and roll and much. Like 27 itself, it’s a lot of fun.
The Wednesday Run – September 14, 2011
It’s another Wednesday on the comic book store shelves and it’s another DC title that gets my attention. Sorry to all you Marvel lovers out there, but this was always going to be DC’s month. Still, if you just need to read a comic, any comic from the “House of Ideas,” then go pick up Ultimate Comics Spider-Man # 1. Not for the fact that Spider-Man is now Miles Morales, a teenager of African-American and Latino decent, which might prove interesting in itself, but for the amazing Sara Pichelli artwork!
I’ve already discussed my 10 most anticipated titles of DC’s new 52 comics appearing throughout the month (you can read about them here and here), but it’s Demon Knights that has raised my eyebrow this week. Read the rest of this entry
