Rafael Albuquerque Archives

May 20th is bringing out some exciting releases, and one of those will be the next issue of the multiple sell-out series Ei8ht drawn by Rafael Albuquerque, written by Mike Johnson and Alburquerque, with #4 It's no surprise the series has turned so many heads, from its time and dimension hopping premise to its truly[...]

But to my surprise, it's actually been in the pages of American Vampire's Second Cycle, written by Snyder and illustrated painstakingly in painterly style by Rafael Albuquerque, that I find the biggest example of this theme in the past couple of issues. Skinner and Pearl have been the magnetic forces holding the series together as it[...]

Occasionally the Diamond Previews monthly catalogue becomes a genuine collectible item, such as this catalogue with the first listing of The Walking

My family are off on holiday to South Africa for a few weeks. Suddenly everything feels very quiet. So this week, amidst all the controversy of covers and

Well now. I understand, from a number of inside contacts, that the Batgirl Joker variant cover by Rafael Albuquerque that caused so much fuss this week was not the first version of that cover.

The story about DC Comics pulling the Batgirl #41 Joker variant at the request of its artist Rafael Albuquerque has been reported by The Guardian, Paste Magazine, Inquistr, Mary Sue, HitFix, and Daily Caller giving us the least accurate headline "Social Justice Puritans Convince Artist To Pull Batgirl Comic Book Cover" There is no sign[...]

Issue #23 is described thus by Dark Horse: The city zone destroyed in the battle between the Archon and the Mark has become[...]

This is one of those times. Rafael Albuquerque is an artist I've not yet had the pleasure of giving a proper day in court, mostly because the kind of stuff he's worked on has either flown under my radar or isn't my cup of tea So when I discovered he was working on a new five-part[...]

Rafael Albuquerque is blowing my mind I can't believe how ingenious the color scheme idea in it is, using different baseline colors for different time-lines to keep the reader on track It's just astonishing. SA: I know Rafael is a master, and he knows exactly what he's doing with this series Comics have unlimited potential for[...]

Carlos M. sends us this plaintive missive from Wizard World Chicago this weekend: Let me start off by saying, I love Wizard World Chicago.  Been attending

Adam Daughhetee moderated a panel featuring Ben Templesmith, Rafael Albuquerque, Rachel Deering, Matthew Roberts, and Vanesa Del Rey about their life and work. He started off by asking them, "What are your roots in horror, and what's drawn you to this genre?" Albuquerque, who is best known right now for his work with Scott Snyder on American[...]

I have been a big fan of She-Hulk in the past most recently with Dan Slott's incredible run but Soule and Pulido are firing on cylinders here and I have a feeling this will be a new classic take on the character. American Vampire: Second Cycle #1 After a hiatus, Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque have returned[...]

Scott Snyder was signing and interviewing heavily at New York Comic Con, and fans couldn't have been happier with that, but in case you missed it, his big push, as he announced in the Vertigo Defy panel at the Con, is to clarify that there are some big transitions happening in The Wake right now[...]
