Pick(s) of the Week: Coffin Hill #1 and so many more….

Posted on October 8, 2013 by Brett

Coffin Hill stars Eve Coffin, a rebellious, teenage lowlife from a high-society family with a curse that goes back to the Salem Witch trials.

Following a night of sex, drugs and witchcraft in the woods, Eve wakes up naked, covered in blood and unable to remember how she got there. One friend is missing, one is in a mental ward—and one knows that Eve is responsible.

After a stint as a Boston cop that ends in a bullet wound and unintended celebrity, Eve returns to Coffin Hill, only to discover the darkness that she unleashed ten years ago in the woods was never contained. It continues to seep through the town, cursing the soul of this sleepy Massachusetts hollow, spilling secrets and enacting its revenge.

Set against the haunted backdrop of New England, Coffin Hill explores what people will do for power and retribution. Noted novelist Caitlin Kittredge, author of the Black London series, brings a smart, mesmerizing style to comics. Artist Inaki Miranda brings his dynamic storytelling to Coffin Hill, following an acclaimed run on Fairest.

Andrew:

Top Pick: Coffin Hill #1 (Vertigo) – Witches are back. FX has American Horror Story: Coven, Lifetime has The Witches of East End, now Vertigo has Coffin Hill. I’m going to check out all three (yes, even the Lifetime show).

Batman #24 (DC Comics) – I THINK this book signals the end of the one-off villain origin issues. ‘Bout time. Looking forward to getting back to Zero Year.

Chronos Commandos: Dawn Patrol #4 (Titan Comics) – I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, dinosaurs and a machine gun toting Albert Einstein, how are you not reading this?

Cryptozoic Man #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Comic Book Men‘s debut series. It’ll be interesting to see what comes out when lifelong comic fans become creators instead of consumers.

Star Wars #10 (Dark Horse) – Brian Wood kills it monthly with this series. It reminds me of the original Star Wars trilogy of my childhood.

Brett:

Top Pick: Coffin Hill #1 (Vertigo) – Did you not read the description above? Vertigo is seeing a second (or is it third or fourth?) renaissance with amazing releases that have consistently entertained.

Death Sentence #1 (Titan Comics) – You can read my review here. The first issue knocks it out of the park.

Molly Danger Book 1 (Action Lab Entertainment) – Expect a review later today. Jamal Igle’s Kickstarted series is everything I hoped it would be… and that’s fun!

Rocket Girl #1 (Image Comics) – A teenage cop from a high-tech future is sent back in time to 1986 New York City. Sold.

Superman/Wonder Woman #1 (DC Comics) – The series sounds intriguing and a lot of what’s been said about the series has me wanting to check it out. Writer Charles Soule is talented and proven he can breathe life into series that shouldn’t work, so crossing my fingers.

TPB/Graphic Novel of the Week: Battling Boy Vol. 1 (First Second) – Expect a review this week, but this new series by Paul Pope is amazing.

Scott:

Top Pick: Batman #24 (DC Comics) – It’s been a long month away from the regular DC titles, and I can’t wait to jump back in to Zero Year. Plus, this issue is double the size of a normal book, and while that does mean double the price, it also means double the fun.

Afterlife with Archie #1 (Archie Comics) – I never, ever thought I’d be interested in reading an Archie comic, but thanks to the involvement of Francesco Francavilla on interiors, I decided to give it a look. I’m glad I did, and you will be too.

Rocket Girl #1 (Image Comics) – I don’t know a whole lot about this series, but anything sci-fi is intriguing to me, and Amy Reeder is a brilliant artist that I’m happy to see working on an ongoing comic.

TPB/Graphic Novel of the Week: Lazarus Vol. 1 (Image Comics) – Unsurprisingly, one of the most vital and engaging new series in 2013 comes from two of the best creators working in comics, Greg Rucka and Michael Lark. Do yourself a favor and pick up this first volume so that you’ll be ready to jump in when it returns from hiatus.

10 Questions with Monty Nero about his Death Sentence

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Brett

This week sees the release of Death Sentence #1, the latest release from Titan Comics written by Monty Nero with art by Mike Dowling.. The series follows a few individuals who contract the G+ virus, a sexually transmitted disease that gives you super powers, but also kills you in 6 months.

The first issue blew me away with a great narrative and interesting concept and is an absolute “must buy” this week when it hits shelves. You can read our review here.

And now, “10 Questions” with Monty Nero

Graphic Policy: How did you get involved in the comic book industry?

Monty Nero: It started with street level stuff: The Beano, Buster. Then I moved on to hardcore addictions like 2000AD, Marvel and Vertigo. Pretty soon I was mainlining my own stuff. I’m a cautionary tale, man. Just say no!

GP: Do you read comics growing up? Do you read them now?

MN: Of course. Asterix the Gaul was a favourite growing up. I didn’t read much while making Death Sentence ‘cause I didn’t want to be influenced by anyone, so I’ve been gorging on comics since I finished. Matt Fraction and I.N.J. Culbard have stood out for me.

GP: Where did the idea of Death Sentence come from?

MN: From real life. I had a number of things on my mind at the time like parenthood, sex, creativity and the point of my life. They all fused together into this virus passed through sex which kills you in six months but makes you fantastically empowered. It’s a premise that let’s Mike and I tell dynamic stories with an interesting subtext.

GP: The first issue follows three different individuals, all from a different walk of life, why did you choose that route instead of focusing on one main character?

MN: It lets you tell the story of the virus in a more interesting and resonant way. Verity’s a wannabe artist frustrated by her life, someone we can all relate to. She’s the beating heart of the story. Weasel brings chaos and comedy, the decadent excesses of a rock n roll lifestyle. And Monty is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong with celebrity culture. We use their contrary perspective to create some interesting and action-packed juxtapositions. That’s the magic of comics, mixing panels, captions and images together in exciting ways.

GP: Having read the first issue, the reactions of each person is very realistic. One becomes reckless, another goes off on their boss. Why was it important to show that as far as character development? Those seem like small details that add a lot to character, but other writers might skip over.

MN: Yeah, that was the whole rationale. I wanted to create something that dealt with an extraordinary situation in a very credible and realistic way, that’s everyone could relate to. It’s thrilling and entertaining, but it also says something about our lives in a way that most comics don’t.

GP: The G+ virus is contracted through unprotected sex. There are two things that stuck out to me because of this; this has to do with choice but also a dangerous game of Russian roulette being played with one’s health. What drew you to that aspect?

MN: It’s essential to making the story dramatic. Catching a fatal virus isn’t dramatic, it’s just sad. As soon as you introduce an element of choice, of your own actions determining your fate, it becomes a dramatic and intriguing situation. Especially as you become empowered to do incredible things and fulfil all your dreams.

GP: There’s also the real life issue of bugchasing, individuals who purposely seek out sexual partners with HIV and the flip side of those who are positive who purposely infect others. Did you look into this at all when working on the series?

MN: Yeah, it’s deeply satirical. The point there is that some people in this crazy fucked up world of ours are so desperate to be famous, or talented, that they would deliberately catch a fatal virus to get their moment in the spotlight. You can have an enormous amount of fun with that.

GP: The solicits have mentioned this is a six issue series. Do you have more than that planned? Is this just the first volume of hopefully many?

MN: Yeah, I’d love to do more. It’s a premise you could apply to any type of story and make it fresh. There are scores of Death Sentence stories to tell, though it’s entirely up to readers of course. If people order Death Sentence 1 from their LCS today we’ll be able to make more I’m sure. We’ve already finished the first six, so there’s plenty of time.

GP: What types of hurdles have you met creating comics, and any lessons learned you can share?

MN: What advice do you have for someone breaking into the entertainment industry?

Don’t do it for money, do it for love. The obvious hurdle is that no-one in the industry wants to give you work until you’ve had something published. So it’s better to create and publish personal work, listen and learn from feedback, and stay humble.

GP: What can we expect from you next?

MN: A shower and a shave! Then I’ll try and get a few more creator owned projects off the ground. So if there are any cool artists out there, be sure to get in touch.

Early Review: Death Sentence #1

Posted on May 31, 2013 by Brett

What would you do with superpowers – and six months to live?

That’s the dilemma facing three people who’ve contracted the G+ Virus, a terrifying new STD.

What can graphic designer Verity, failing indie guitarist Weasel and roguish media personality Monty do in the time they have left? Fade away – or go out in a blaze of glory?

Initially when I read the solicit for this upcoming series which debuts in August, I immediately had flashbacks to the underwhelming Legacy Virus storyline in the X-Men comics of the 90s. Not a good thing to think about. However a few pages in and I immediately began to think I wish that storyline was even a sliver as entertaining as this new series.

The attitude, the art, the story, the characters, it all comes together in an amazing way, this is a perfect package. We’ve got believable reactions to the situation at hand, and set-ups as to what’s coming that are believable and entertaining at the same time. If you knew you were going to die, wouldn’t you tell off your boss? If you had 6 months to live, wouldn’t you throw caution to the wind? The truthful answer is yes and yes.

There’s something that’s captured in this first issue. It nails that “thing” you’re looking for in a new comic when you pick it up. I not only wanted to read the next issue, I wanted to do so immediately. There’s great characters, solid dialogue and an interesting premise. It all feels original and in a package that’s awesome to look at. For as great as the writing is, the art is just as good.

There’s still time to pre-order this comic and trust me, when it’s released, you’ll be happy you did. Titan Comics has been announcing a slew of projects lately. If they’re all of this quality, you’re looking at a strong contender for publisher of the year.
