Comic Round-Up: July 21, 2014




Interview: Ales Kot discusses the role of collaboration in his Image Comics espionage series Zero, and his efforts to adapt the project for television.

Interview: Benjamin Dewey will end his absurdist webcomic Tragedy Series with its 500th episode, and it will be published in book form next March. In this interview he shares his four rules for the comic and why he sets each "tragedy" before 1900: "The reason behind that is removal from a situation — comedy is tragedy plus time. You have 100 years between living memory and the experiences happening to people."

Interview: Bryan Lee O’Malley talks about how food, music and moving on figure into his new graphic novel Seconds.


Interview: When he began crafting his Star Wars parodies, Jeffrey Brown thought of them as being for adults, but it turns out kids like them too.

Devin Leonard looks at the possible effects of a Fox/Time-Warner merger on superhero movies; Time-Warner owns DC Entertainment, and Fox has the movie rights to some Marvel characters. The New York Times offers a broader overview.

Here's a best of 2014 so far in graphic novels list from a writer named Natalie Brandweiner. That list has a bunch of books on it with which I'm only barely familiar; that is a fine function for such a list.
