Grant Morrison explains why superhero comics are awesome

A few months back while I was copyediting a big interview with Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison that eventually appeared in Wizard #216, when I stumbled upon a quote from Morrison I loved so much that I made a note to post it later on this blog.

All Day Pizza Buffet: Murder #3

Well, I have to admit I’m very unimpressed with this one. I’d drawn Ward Maddock in essentially the same position and format for two days, so I tried to incorporate some crazy noir-esque perspectives on this one. I failed.

As this All Day Pizza Buffet is an exercise in daily cartooning, I’ll post the results, but this one is definitely a weak entry.

Taking the PoP! Quiz

Way back at Chicago Comic-Con, the good fellows from Panels On Page asked me to step in front of the camera and complete their PoP! Quiz. Hosted by mic master Jason Kerouac, I fielded a series of semi-ridiculous questions about comics and the convention while attempting to be professional and hilarious in my haggard state at the end of the weekend. Though only a few of my responses made the final cut, it was a blast to participate and even more exciting to see it cut together all pretty-lookin’ thanks to my man Jason “K-Nice” Knize.

Alright, alright, on to the video… Continue Reading “Taking the PoP! Quiz”
