Double-Barreled Comic Release | Sword of My Mouth

:: Posted by max @ 3/07/2010 02:07:00 PM
Jim writes that he's off to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco to give a talk there about the community organizing he's been doing, as a bit of a vacation after getting his latest graphic novel, Sword of My Mouth to the printer. The sequel to Therefore Repent, [which i drew for full disclosure] drawn by Shannon Gerard, you can read all but the last chapter online ici if you're a subscriber. The final act will be on hand, in print as a single volume, at TCAF 2010! I look forward to giving it a final read myself!

I've never seen either of them holding a gun before, looks like they enjoy it! ;)

about

blog

Lockhart is an artist and animator who has collaborated with Marc Bell. This is part of the Petits Livres series that D+Q has been putting out the last few years. Some of these are comics, some are art books. I think this is both. As Peggy Burns said in a 2009 interview, the "series is a good example of trying to come up with an alternative format to the pamphlet. There are so many new artists we adore and want to publish, and the pamphlet clearly was not working. The cover price itself makes each book viable for Diamond, but you would be surprised by the unit numbers and the very fact the Petits Livres are books (or perhaps booklets) makes them able to be sold in the book market."

LOLA: A GHOST STORY
Written by J. Torres; Art by Elbert Or

No one except his ailing grandmother — a woman who used her visions to help those living in her small town. The same rural community in all the scary stories Jesse's heard as a child. Man-eating ogres in trees. Farmhouses haunted by wraiths. Even pigs possessed by the devil. Upon his grandmother's passing, Jesse has no choice but to face his demons and whatever else might be awaiting him at grandma's house."

Robin McConnell portrait inkstuds
Gotta bust out a C-List!

Item: Sequential's own Salgood Sam was briefly at Expozine as well. He shot and edited a short doc of the event around 4pm to 5pm of the last day.



Item: A good large flickr photo set cataloging zine prints buttons and art books predominantly in a minimalist & cute style. The rare blue Mermacorn is the invention of probably this years youngest exhibitor, Jasper! Posted by Montreal designer Janice Wong.

Alarmed at the massive build-up of Canadian superheroes by Marvel, and with only one of their own DC plans to fire back by adding a Canadian to the Outsiders, previously a 1980s superhero team based in Batman's Gotham City.

New Books: The Road to God Knows... by Von Allan

:: Posted by Bryan @ 11/13/2009 08:28:00 AM


available here

from the press release:

Mental illness remains one of Western society's greatest taboos. Those who suffer from various mental health disorders often suffer in silence, with very little support from society. Family members and other loved ones of those afflicted also suffer and are often forced to understand and cope alone. The loneliness, fear and frustration that this can cause is difficult for most people to understand. And this isolation can be far worse when you're a child of a bipolar, schizophrenic or otherwise mentally ill parent. Von Allan, an Ottawa-based graphic novelist, has attempted to shed some light on this subject with the publication of his first full-length graphic novel, titled "the road to god knows..."

"My mom was diagnosed schizophrenic when I was quite young, maybe 11 or so," said Allan. "She suffered a number of nervous breakdowns as I was growing up, as she battled, often very much alone, a disease that was slowly taking bits of her away. What I remember most vividly about this time was how confused and powerless I was. No one talked with me about what was happening to her and my mom was incapable of explaining it to me herself. I didn't understand and that, combined with what I was experiencing, was really, really scary. There's also odd feelings of guilt that go with this. "Did I do something wrong? Did I somehow cause this?" I wrote and drew this book to shed some light on a very hush-hush topic and hopefully help others, especially kids but really people of all ages, realize that they aren't alone and that they haven't done anything wrong. And neither has the person who is suffering from mental illness."

A unique aspect of the graphic novel is its availability in multiple channels. First, the book can be downloaded as a free PDF eBook on the artist's website. In addition, a torrent version has been made available via LegalTorrents.com and the PDF is also available on Scribd.com. The graphic novel is distributed under a Creative Commons Canada licence that grants readers the ability to distribute the online versions of the book for free. "The toughest thing for new artists is just getting noticed. Obscurity, as Tim O'Reilly said, is the enemy and not piracy. By using a variety of online distribution tools as well as more traditional print publishing, I'm hoping people will give the book a try. And maybe it'll get into the hands of someone who could really use it. The book is also available through online retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and can also be purchased in comic shops like Jim Hanley's Universe in New York, Atlantis Fantasyworld in Santa Cruz, Cosmic Monkey Comics in Portland, and bookstores like Perfect Books in Ottawa."

"The road to god knows..." is the story of Marie, a teenage girl coming to grips with her Mom's schizophrenia. As a result, she's struggling to grow up fast; wrestling with poverty, loneliness, and her Mom's illness every step of the way. At the start of the story, we see a scared young girl, uncertain and overwhelmed, but as her mom collapses into a full nervous breakdown, Marie is forced to examine herself and her life and come to a decision: does she continue to be a child, reacting to what's happening around her? Or does she take control of her life, come what may?

"the road to god knos..." has an ISBN of 978-0-9781237-0-3, a suggested retail price of $12.95 US/$13.99 CDN and is 148 pages in length.

New Books: Pope Hats #1 by Ethan Rilly

:: Posted by Bryan @ 11/11/2009 01:27:00 AM
Pope Hats #1
Ethan Rilly
AdHouse Books
$4.00 US
ISBN 978-0-9812013-0-6

Pope Hats follows the trials of a young woman named Frances Scarland, whose social circle mainly consists of an alcoholic actress and an inept ghost named Saarsgard. The comic is an engaging slice-of-life story about young people navigating their own daily shortcomings.

Pope Hats was the winner of a 2008 Xeric Foundation Grant. An earlier mini-comic version of the story was shortlisted for the 2008 Doug Wright Awards in the category of Best Emerging Talent.

"Pope Hats by Ethan Rilly is the most impressive debut comic I've seen in years. The work has that deceptive quality of ease about it—the characters breeze across the page with sparkling dialogue and wonderfully observed gestures."
--Seth

Red Jumps to the top of Bookmanager sales lists

:: Posted by max @ 11/03/2009 03:10:00 PM
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas most recent book Red is the #1 best seller this month...

With the return of Sequential's All-Canadian Top 30 the Haida Manga is in fact the 4th over all best selling Graphic Novel this month, by a Canadian author or otherwise sold in Canada. At the time of this post it ranks 2nd on the Book manager list in fact, sales rank #946 and in 'high demand'. Nice way to kick things off for Michael and i thought i'd pass on some fresh links from him to mark the occasion.

"Red becomes a real test of whether there is an interest, I think, in Canada, to explore the mythology of what is the Indian, in a populist form," he says.

Adapted from a Haida legend Yahgulanaas heard growing up, Red tells the story of a young man obsessed with revenge against the raiders who kidnapped his younger sister. More memorable than the story, however, is the art. Yahgulanaas blends these two distinct styles together into something wholly original." -Link to full review/interview.

RED the Special Edition
each copy includes the following

One original watercolored haida manga painting 8.5" X 7" on 100
cotton 140lb Arches paper. Signed and catalogued.
Painted paper bookmark.
Color poster of the original mural.
A unique number out of a total run of 100 copies only.
Slipcased in Haida manga design with stitched in cloth marker.
Autographed and can be personalized.

Purchase by contacting: Angela Powell

Seth reading at the D&Q shop November 3rd

:: Posted by max @ 10/29/2009 11:25:00 PM
Under a cover sporting a Salgood Sam illustration, the Montreal Mirror has a short piece announcing an up coming reading at the D&Q shop with Seth...

A LIFE IN PICTURES:
From George Sprott
by STACEY DEWOLFE

"Cartooning is not drawing," explains Canadian graphic novelist Seth in a recent Q&A with The Walrus, "it's representational, but... the action of cartooning [is] intricately woven with the process of how the memory works." That the artist's work has long been informed by a love affair with the past will come as no surprise to his many fans, especially those familiar with the artist's wire glasses and Bogart-esque attire.

Those new to the graphic novel may have inadvertently seen Seth's work, as his cartoons have graced the cover of The New Yorker, and his newest book, the picture novella George Sprott, was recently serialized in the New York Times Magazine.

The poster for the slide show and book signing, entitled Brief Stories About Cartooning-which takes place at Drawn & Quarterly (211 Bernard W.) this Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.-makes reference to the greatest names in the history of the medium: Spiegelman, Crumb and Ware, to name just a few. But look at the fine print, and the wit which characterizes the artist's work becomes clear; "Note: none of the cartoonists listed above may be discussed in any way-subjects vary."

Kill Shakespeare in 2010

:: Posted by max @ 10/29/2009 07:15:00 PM
KILL SHAKESPEARE is a dark tale casting Shakespeare's greatest hero's against his worst Villans.

Led by Hamlet - Juliet, Othello, Falstaff, Romeo and Puck begin a heroic journey to discover a long-lost soul - a reclusive magician whom may have the ability to assist them in their battle against evil forces, led by Richard III, Lady MacBeth and Iago.

That reclusive magician? William Shakespeare.

Sounds like a rawkus book - and well promoted so far - though rifting on the bard, they best keep an eye on the gamer and such. ;)

They describe it as "A combination of "Lord of the Rings", "Shakespeare in Love", "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "Justice League of America", it is a tale that has action and adventure, love and romance, comedy, drama and bloody violence. It's an adventure of Shakespearean proportions."
'Ba-dum-bump! tish!'

Due in early 2010 as a twelve-issue comic book mini-series published by IDW. Written by Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery, artwork by Andy Belanger (Transmission-X, Bottle of Awesome). And yes, here's the tailer...

The C-List: October Surprises

Well, the C-List is back from its adventure in Toronto. Max and I had fun hosting two events at the Word on the Street festival. Our thanks to participants Kevin Boyd, Willow Dawson, Jeff Lemire, Brad Mackay, and Evan Munday, and to the organizers and volunteers, especially Peter and Chris from the Beguiling/TCAF. Max recorded our two panels but the audio is not ready yet -- Jamie Colville also did some recording and you can find those files here [Sequential Presents: Oh, Canada. Surveying the Landscape of Canadian Comics. 50:50, 46.5mb]and here [Webcomics! 50:02, 45.8mb], with some info posted on the source page here!

It was very nice to meet cartoonists Dave Lapp and Tory Woollcott, as well as chat with Chester Brown and Chris Oliveros, who were hard at work making sure everyone in Toronto owns a signed copy of Louis Riel. I bought alot of comics, both at WOTS and around town (including a small pile of the overlooked early 80s masterpiece, The New Adventures of Superboy), and overall had a battery-recharging mini-holiday. So now, back to the linkage:

Item: The Shuster Awards wrap-ups continue and the Shuster Awards blog has all the links, including Robert Pincombe's overview & Kevin Boyd's response, wth mention of our WOTS panel; a whole bunch of other reports; and Jason Truong's report. The audio of the event is posted by Jamie Coville here. Again details on his site.

Item: Cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks --who signed at the Shuster table at WOTS-- has signed with First Second Books to publish her next graphic novel, Friends With Boys.

Item: Historian Jeet Heer contributed an essay to the beautiful-looking Upside-Down World of Gustave Verbeek: Comics and Art 1900-1915, which was released this past Wednesday.

Item: I'm not sure what Cerebus TV is, but I'm hoping Dave Sim's Shuster speech will be available there soon.

Item: Walrus blogger Sean Rogers reviews 3 new comics reprint collections.

Item: The National Post reviews Jeff Lemire's The Nobody for its Fall Books section.

Item: The Peterborough, Ontario Regional Health Centre has released a comic for kids about infectious disease.

Item: Seth provides a little background about the giant Wine King float we mentioned last week for the National Post.

Item: Last chance to get it on at the Rated R Show, it closes today in Toronto. Max stopped in hours before getting on a bus back to Montreal, and made this Video report, playing now on Sequential TV. There are also three clips after it documenting the event published by the organizers themselves.

The Hipless Boy by Sully launches in Montreal September 29

:: Posted by max @ 9/28/2009 11:59:00 PM
"My book!
I'm launching my book!
I spent years making this thing!
The cover is orange like a popsicle!
The back cover looks like a tequila sunrise!
Hope to see you there."

Say for a second you're just a normal person. You live in a hipster neighbourhood but you’re not a hipster. You’re hipless. This the premise behind this collection of interlinked stories done in a graphic novel format that originally found life as a weekly column in the McGill Daily. The protagonist here tries to live his life like an open heart, and a curious cat, meeting and mingling with a collection of Montreal oddballs. He finds love, loses love, learns to like cross-dressing, and finds something else. Along for the ride are his best friends Minerva and Owen. She is a semi-bisexual private-school dropout, he is an art-school fabulist who constantly conjures up new ways to court controversy.

Transmission X newstrips on 9.9.9.9.9.

:: Posted by max @ 9/08/2009 04:34:00 PM
TX Comics is Presenting three new creator-owned series Wednesday, September 9th 2009 at 09:09am.

The critically-acclaimed webcomics collective adds Aardehn by Eric Vedder, Streta by Eric Kim and Butternutsquash by Rob Coughler and Ramon Perez!

These new series join the current lineup on TX, the Eisner Award-nominated The Abominable Charles Christopher by Karl Kerschl (artist/writer of The Flash in DC Comics' Wednesday Comics and Teen Titans Year One), Sin Titulo by Eisner- and Shuster-Award nominee Cameron Stewart (artist of Catwoman, Seaguy and The Other Side), and Kukuburi by Ramon Perez.

Aardehn, written and drawn by Eric Vedder, is a sprawling epic set in a magical world where fantasy and science collide, and prophecies of old threaten to bring about its end. Vedder is an accomplished artist whose credits include Deadpool and Fantastic Four for Marvel Comics, Street Fighter, and various video game concept illustration.

Streta, written and drawn by Eric Kim, is a science-fiction action-comedy about an ordinary guy who has to confront intergalactic bounty hunters, space pirates, and the cosmic ninjas, all while trying to win over the girl of his dreams. Kim has previously illustrated the original graphic novel series Love As A Foreign Language for Oni Press, and his forthcoming book Billy Smoke is in development as a major motion picture starring Matthew Fox.

Butternutsquash, co-written by Ramon Perez and Rob Coughler with art by Perez, is the long-running and popular semi-autobiographical comedy about a group of friends entrenched in their own self-deluded world in pursuit of the next great scheme, next great girl or just the next great cup of coffee. Perez is known to regular TX readers as the writer/artist of Kukuburi, whose credits also include Star Wars, Resistance: Fall of Man, Justice Society of America, and the forthcoming true-crime graphic novel Green River Killer. 


TX Comics is a collective of professional illustrators and cartoonists who united in their desire to produce top-flight comics on their own terms somehow. Recognizing the potential of the internet as the new primary source of art and entertainment for many potential readers - motivated by their interest in producing personal work free from commercial and editorial constraint, while still keeping the day job for the most part, the artists of TX have joined forces to create a site where there's regular high-quality comics, some of them arguably the best yet seen on the web.

New Books: Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire

:: Posted by Bryan @ 9/02/2009 12:04:00 AM

Giles Goat Boy meets Apocalypse Nerd

Now that he's paid homage in a way to Jules Verne in his Nobody graphic novel, Jeff Lemire seems to be turning his sights on HG Wells. Lemire's new Vertigo series is out today, at an introductory price of $1.00 for the first issue. The series premise sounds like a mash-up of everything from John Barth to The Road to Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake to The Island of Dr. Moreau to Marvel's Woodgod character of the 1970s:

Sweet Tooth #1
Written by Jeff Lemire; Art and cover by Jeff Lemire (Vertigo/DC)

From out of the deep woods and the mind of acclaimed indie cartoonist Jeff Lemire (THE NOBODY, The Essex County Trilogy) comes a new Vertigo monthly ongoing series like no other! After being raised in total isolation, Gus – a boy born with deer-like antlers – is left to survive in an American landscape devastated a decade earlier by an inexplicable pandemic. Even more remarkable is that Gus is part of a rare new breed of human/animal hybrid children who have emerged in its wake, all apparently immune to the infection.

Enter Jepperd, a violent, hulking drifter who soon takes in Gus and promises to lead him to "The Preserve," a fabled safe-haven for hybrid children. Along the way they'll have to contend with science militias, deadly scavengers, rival bounty hunters, and hybrid worshipping cultists as they fight to make it to safety and solve the mysteries of this deadly new frontier.

This bizarre and haunting new series is boldly written and illustrated by Eisner-nominated creator Jeff Lemire and elegantly colored by fellow Eisner nominee Jose Villarubia. A little boy with antlers, a big man with guns, a world without hope – SWEET TOOTH #1 ships in September for only $1.00! Plus, don't miss a free preview of this title in August's JACK OF FABLES #37!

* Vertigo
* 32pg.
* Color
* $1.00 US
* Mature Readers

On Sale September 2, 2009

Bonus: read Lemire on 4 ugly comics with post-apocalyptic themes that influenced his new book.

New Sites - MONTREAL COMIC-CON & Sword of My Mouth

:: Posted by max @ 7/15/2009 08:16:00 PM
Two new web sites to check out.

The Montreal Comic Con has some new crew members and a new look, the site has been re-launched with information about the upcoming September show, it's in Beta mode so they are inviting feedback - check it out and let them know...

We just launched the brand new Montreal Comic-Con website - www.montrealcomiccon.com. Please feel free to send us your comments and/or suggestions about it. Any comments and/or suggestions regarding the event itself are also welcomed.

See you in September!

Oscar, Elizabeth and Alex :)
Mini-site for Sword of My Mouth & How To Enjoy Research

Publisher Author and DIY king Jim Munroe has set up a mini site for Sword of My Mouth, the sequel to Therefore Repent! and also has a little advice for one of my favorite things but not his, how to enjoy Research!
We've just launched the mini-site for Sword of My Mouth, making the first two issues (and commentary from me and Shannon) available for subscribers and people who've pre-ordered the graphic novel. It's the first third (48 pages) of the book so far, and we'll be adding a chapter every other month until we launch the complete graphic novel edition at next year's Toronto Comic Arts Festival.

One of the things we did differently with this book was research, and so I'll take this opportunity to write a bit about that...

CBR - LEMIRE ON "ESSEX COUNTY" & NEW VERTIGO WORK

:: Posted by max @ 7/07/2009 08:07:00 PM
Just came across this, new post on CBR,
looks like a nice interview with Jeff Lemire
about his newest books!

"Jeff Lemire has a feel for small towns. His "Essex County" trilogy of graphic novels, a multigenerational saga exploring the relationships between and within families in a small farming community, has won awards from the American Library Association, taken the Joe Shuster Award honoring Canadian cartoonists, and has been nominated for an Ignatz, a Harvey, and two Eisner Awards.

In August, Top Shelf will release "The Complete Essex County" in both hardcover and trade paperback, while DC/Vertigo will publish in July Lemire's first post-"Essex County" project, "The Nobody," an original graphic novel inspired by H.G. Wells's "Invisible Man." A new ongoing series, "Sweet Tooth," will follow in September from Vertigo...>> "

New Books: The Nobody by Jeff Lemire

:: Posted by Bryan @ 7/02/2009 02:51:00 AM

The Nobody
by Jeff Lemire.
DC/Vertigo
b+w, hardcover, 144 pages
US$19.99
ISBN 9781401220808

As Jeff Lemire notes on his blog, "Due to a mix up The Nobody will ship a week late and will now be in bookstores July 7 and Comic Book Stores July 8. I will however be signing at Comics And More at Danforth and Greenwood (steps from the Greenwood subway stop) in Toronto THURDSAY JULY 2, between 4-6 and I will have advance copies of THE NOBODY for sale a week early! I will also have a limited edition Nobody print, free for anyone who wants one and some other freebies, original artwork etc."

From the publisher:

The tiny, isolated fishing village of Large Mouth never saw much excitement — until the arrival of the stranger, that is. Wrapped from head to toe in bandages and wearing weird goggles, he quietly took up residence in the sleepy town's motel. Driven by curiosity, the townfolk quickly learn the tragic story of his past, and of the terrible accident that left him horribly disfigured. Eventually, the town embraces the stranger as one of their own — but do his bandages hide more than just scars?

Inspired by H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man, THE NOBODY explores themes of identity, fear and paranoia in a small community from up-and-coming alternative comics creator and Xeric Award-winner Jeff Lemire (The Essex County Trilogy) in a special two-color story that'll have you guessing until the very end.

An argument for Blood

:: Posted by max @ 6/28/2009 09:59:00 PM
Ok, so the headline is a bit hyperbolic, but it amused me.

This is pretty cool, Matt sent this to me while I was in NY an moronically i failed to post it then, dope. Sorry 'bout that.

This features some interesting pencil art, no inking and a lot of texture by Mike Shoyket. [link?]

Working on promoting Captain Blood, a novel adaptation I wrote for SLG, we were faced with the now-familiar quandry of how to encourage individual retailers to order the book rather than hoping to see it on shelves. Rather than get into the whole issue here, I refer you to the comic below -- rewritten and relettered pages from the original Captain Blood #1 -- that illustrate the whole situation in brilliant 1700s action!
Art by Mike Shoyket, lettering by David Hedgecock.

For my tardiness I claim exhaustion and a mild travelers high. Looked good right off but i only just read it all the way through now. Spoiler/Warning, "Big Publisher Beach" not cast in such a kind light here, I take it as satire myself but if you disagree perhapses you will mention this at your local comic shop and ask them what they think after showing them?

Enjoy!




And, there's a trailer too of course... :)

New Books: Taddle Creek, Summer 2009

:: Posted by Bryan @ 6/15/2009 06:31:00 AM

Taddle Creek
Summer Number 2009
(Issue 22)

Taddle Creek, the Toronto-centric, bi-annual literary magazine, has gone from comics-freindly to comics-crazy and published a full-colour, "floppy"-style comic book as its latest issue. The best comics anthology I've seen this year, the mag is anchored by a stunning stand-out history of the Atomic Bomb by Michael Cho. Cho has been a regular contributor and cover artist for the mag and won a Silver National Magazine Award in 2007 for one of his comic stories. You can see a preview of the J.Bone piece from the current issue here.

From the publisher: "... thirty-six pages of all-new, full-colour comics by J. Bone, Michael Cho, Dave Lapp, Steven Charles Manale, Fiona Smyth, and Zach Worton, with a wraparound cover by Steve Wilson.

Best of all, the issue is the size of a regular comic, allowing it to fit in a comic bag so you can rush right home and file the issue in your longbox, unread, to ensure its future value."

The Undertaking
Michael J. Hind
Conundrum Press
ISBN 978-1-894994-39-2

From the publisher: "The Undertaking, is the saga of the Ward family and its oldest son Donald (D), who finds himself holding together the family undertaking business during the Second World War in Britain. They must deal with death on a professional level, yet are as human and flawed as anybody else when dealing with the loss of one of their own. The book opens on a funeral and is told dramatically through flashbacks, where we learn of the losses and regrets that have brought them to this place, and of those family secrets they bear together that may save them. A sort of D.H. Lawrence meets Six Feet Under."
