Comic Round-Up: July 22, 2014




Interview: Artist Babs Tarr talks about the newest incarnation of Batgirl, which she will be illustrating for DC Comics. This is her first comic, although she has been doing illustration for years: “For so many years, I’ve been drawing for other people and it was great. It paid the bills, and I learned a lot about collaborating … but I was working on art that was not mine. DC saw my work and said ‘Yes, we like that.’ It’s my style…. It’s cool that DC has embraced the funkier side of comics.”

Ana Veciana-Suarez: The comic book death of Archie underscores how far we still have to go to be an inclusive society.

Are comic-book fans tired of comic-book movies?

The Female Thor and the Female Comic-Book Reader: The stereotype that only men want to read superhero stories is wrong—but just how wrong?

Following the news that the comics market was estimated at $850 million in 2013, of which $90 million was digital, George Gene Gustines looks at a couple of different digital models, including Thrillbent’s new subscription service and Panel Syndicate, Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin’s name-your-own-price approach.

Liz Watson compares Marvel and DC Comics in terms of diversity of characters, and finds DC severely wanting: "DC Comics uses a slavish adherence to the status quo to prevent anything socially-progressive from taking place on its pages."
