Interview: Gabriel Bautista (WonderCon 2012)

by bucky· March 26, 2012· in Interviews, Video Interview· 0 comments tags: All Star Western, DC Comics, Elephantmen, Gabriel Bautista, Image Comics, The New 52
It was bound to happen sooner or later. ComicImpact has an interview with pretty-art-guy, Gabriel Bautista. Yes, he colors All-Star Western from DC Comics. Yes, he has drawn pictures for the awesome comic, Elephantmen. Yes, he has a new project in the works with Joshua Hale Fialkov. But, we barely talk about any of that. Mostly, we goof around and dance and lean. We learn what Mr. Bautista really looks at while he’s talking to Susan and how much Sheldon drinks. Either way, watch this unorthodox encounter with this awesome artist and friend to the site.

Interview: Scott Snyder (WonderCon 2012)

Not to brag, but I have met a lot of creators at a lot of conventions. I have to say that no one has had me more excited or more nervous than Scott Snyder. Sure, I make jokes about stalking him and voodoo magic, but Mr. Snyder is a horror writer and gets me. Maybe I’m projecting, but I don’t care. I reveled in the opportunity to talk with one of my favorite writers.Try not to notice the shades of red and pink I become as Scott Snyder and I talk everything from Severed to Batman. I have to say that Mr. Snyder was very nice to this crazy fan girl. Thank you again for chatting, Scott! Your works inspire me!

Horror on the 13th – February 2012 (vampire,Zombie andLove)

by bucky· February 13, 2012· in Horror on the 13th· 0 comments tags: 30 Days of Night, Daniel Freedman, DC Comics, IDW Publishing, Image Comics, IVampire, Steve Niles, The New 52, Tomm Coker, Undying Love
Happy Valentine’s Day! Well, the day before it anyway. It does seem like a good day for horror. I think that it has to do with the fact that if you’re single, then this is a shit holiday. If you’re in a couple, this is a stressful holiday. Either way, there’s a little bit of horror involved. Plus, Valentine’s Day has hearts and hearts pump blood. Scary stuff involved! Speaking of blood, this month I am featuring the most romantic of all the monsters (to the mainstream media): VAMPIRES! Personally, I think that any monster can be romanticized. In fact, most of them were born from the romantic era, but that’s a different article for a different time. I digress, vampires have come to symbolize forbidden love.

Horror on the 13th: December 2011 (The New 52)

by bucky· December 13, 2011· in Horror on the 13th· 0 comments tags: Animal Man, DC Comics, IVampire, Jeff Lemire, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Scott Snyder, Swamp Thing, The New 52
And, we’re back! It’s written form again for Horror on the 13th! I can’t decide what I like better. Really, I just like mixing it up, because to me, talking about horror is talking about horror. In fact, I agree with that statement almost to a fault. I mean, I really do like and appreciate all horror, even the bad stuff. Horror taps into something very primal in all of us. It’s the fear of the unknown or the mysterious or the abnormal. Mostly, it’s trying to understand things that we, as humans, don’t understand or have no way of understanding. When it’s not that, it’s blood and guts and monsters! Personally, I think all those are the same, but that is always up for debate. Horror has debates! And theories! I love it.
