Thursday Runaround – Dredding New York Comic Con

HATE POLITICS

Mark Millar nails his political colours to the mast;

No matter how much my life has changed in recent years, I only have to hear Cameron's benefit plans to recall how I despise Conservatives.

— Mark Millar (@mrmarkmillar) October 3, 2013

2000 NY

Rebellion will be appearing at New York Comic Con with a NYCC-exclusive DREDD comic book sequel A2 posters and exclusive movie-version Judge Dredd and Judge Anderson T-shirts, all drawn by Henry Flint. Catch them at Booth 1485.

INKING WITH BILE

The LA Times looks at the graphic novel, Rebetico.

"There's nothing left but smoke, melancholy, broken plates …," Prudhomme writes late in the book. "We were only little octopuses from the slums, with bile as black as ink." The larger implication, however, is that such little octopuses can have a bit   effect when they tell their stories honestly, creating a space in which an audience can truly recognize itself.

To get this across, Prudhomme re-creates the music deftly, using small panels that echo the darkness, the closeness, of the cafés while also filling them with movement, the movement of patrons dancing, or fighting, or being seduced. Because rebetiko is storytelling music, he highlights the lyrics, layering them atop his images, as if they were part of the atmosphere.

BATSON

If you're missing your Damian, DC Comics have a first look at Andy Kubert's work on Damian: Son Of Batman.
