More on Creation – Joe Quesada

June 15th, 2009 by Riff

A few months back, in fact a loooooooooooong time back when this site was quite new, I wrote a piece called “The Process of Creation”. It featured my friend Federico’s work on Bloody Sugar, from raw layout to the finished item. Sadly a move to a new host managed to lose the artwork (I’ll see [...]

Captain America #600 (again)

May 26th, 2009 by Riff

Ok this is big. This is getting featured everywhere… I mean it’s low key but everyone’s got a teaser or something. What’s happening? Everyone’s reprising no news – just a list of the artists working on it, and some groovy artwork. I’ve seen a fair bit of Alex Ross out there, and frankly the world [...]

Comics: Voting with your Wallet

May 20th, 2009 by Riff

Christine posted an interesting article on her The Other Murdock Papers blog regarding the cancellation of Captain Britain and MI-13, and her post rang very true to me. The main reason it did so was simply this: I stopped reading Daredevil when Brubaker took over because I thought (after 6 issues of Brubaker’s run) that [...]

A rant about a perceived rant?

May 16th, 2009 by Riff

I’ve just stumbled across this particular blog and piece of prose. I’ll be honest and say I’ve never encountered it before (I might give more insight into how I discovered it in my personal blog at riffsrealm.com) but it struck me as curious. It certainly got my attention, which I guess is its point. I’m [...]

Quesada: Writing for Comics

April 16th, 2009 by Riff

Joe Quesada is prolific – especially on Twitter  (arguably he should have written “Daredevil: Father” on Twitter, it would have run to schedule then.) When he speaks, those of you serious about breaking into the comics industry should listen. He doesn’t mince words – he tells it like is is, succinctly, no soap, in an [...]

Warren Ellis’ FreakAngels

March 5th, 2009 by Riff

If you like Warren Ellis’ work, then you’ll love FreakAngels. What?!?! You’ve. Never. Heard. Of. Warren. Ellis?!?!?!?! Well you can read about him here, but his influence is pretty wide these days. I would venture to suggest that he’s managed to cast a very wide net – and impacted a lot of writing, but as [...]
