Sequential Sunday: Best of 2010 (Part 1)

by John Mueller· January 10, 2011· in Sequential Sunday· 0 comments tags: Batman Incorporated, Blanket, Chris Roberson, DC Comics, Fantagraphics, Flesk Publications, Glenn Head, Grant Morrison, Hallucinations / Inspirations, Hotwire Comics, i Zombie, IDW, IDW Publishing, Michael Allred, Scott Morse, Sparrow, Strange Science Fantasy, Toys in the Basement, Vertigo, William Stout, Yanick Paquette  and Michel Lacombe
A year ago this week, I was having a tough time of compiling a scaled down “Best of the Year” list due to the unexpected flurry of note-worthy material released during 2009. Now I find the task even harder considering the avalanche of great releases that saw print in 2010. A chief reason for this is the recent explosion of exceptional archival comic strip collections, lavish artist career overviews, and beautifully produced art books by publishers like Fantagraphics, IDW, and Flesk Publications. Add to this numerous comic book mini-series, one-shots, and monthly titles more than worthy of note and you have a year that would command any sequential art enthusiast’s attention. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the great material that hit the shelves in 2010!

Welcome to Part 2 of Sequential Sunday’s look at the highly varied and completely mind-blowing work of 3-D processing master Ray Zone! In part 1 we saw numerous examples of depth-defying art from early issues of Zone’s self-published title The 3-D Zone. Though this series constitutes a sizable chunk of his 1980’s output, Zone applied his skills to the comics of numerous other publishers from the decade of the independent publishing boom as well, including Eclipse Comics.

Sequential Sunday: Watchmen British Press Kit

by John Mueller· August 09, 2010· in Sequential Sunday· 0 comments tags: Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, DC Comics, Watchmen, Watchmen Movie, Watchmen Press Kit, Zack Snyder
In the time I’ve been writing and producing the Sequential Sunday column I’ve always chosen as my subject matter a certain creator, publishing company, or gallery event. I’m going to go against my own grain this time and choose (of all things) a promotional item, namely the British press kit produced to herald what was, at the time, the upcoming Watchmen movie’s release. What looks at first like a plain brown box actually conceals this behemoth of a press kit.

W. Norton & Company, William Stout Flesk Publications
I initially thought the task of compiling a list of the best in comics and related art books released in 2009 would be relatively easy. Boy was I wrong. We saw a wealth of amazing output from the indie press, mainstream publishers and collected works of illustrative artists of the past and present.2009 has been a fantastic year overall for sequential art, the best of the last several, with my only real problem being finding the time (and money) to take them all in. So without further ado here is Part I in my two-part series for the Best Comics and Comic-Related Releases of 2009…
