I've Joined the Comic Book Resources Team


Hey, everyone!

Quick update: I've joined the Comic Book Resources team as a freelance writer! You can check out my author page here. While this new gig does mean that posts here on Comic Book Conversations will not be as frequent as they have been, it does not mean the blog will be abandoned - plenty of content is still on the way!

Several people from the comics industry have interview questions in their inbox, and several more have been invited to take part in the segment - I have plans to reach out to even more people, too. Additionally, the Comic Vine community voted All-New Wolverine vs. Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) as the next "Comic Book Battle" they'd like to see! Research on that will take more time (especially since Vol 4 of the Cassie collection isn't out yet), but expect to see an analysis of that clash at some point. Plus, I'll be sure to update with the occasional review and editorial. I'll do my best to have a review on every edition of new comic book day, as well reviews for the latest comic book movies - yes, that includes the DC animated ones!

Thank you so much for keeping an eye on Comic Book Conversations!

Best,
Gregg

Comic Book Battles: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs Kraven the Hunter

Sergei Kravinoff, aka Kraven the Hunter, prides himself on being the best hunter in the Marvel Universe. He loves nothing more than the thrill of the hunt and he’s set his sights on Spider-Man, Tigra, Black Panther, Daredevil, Black Widow, Scarlet Spider, and many others. What would happen if this formidable foe bumped into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the IDW Publishing series, though? Would Kraven’s tactics allow him to defeat the four mutant brothers, or would the Heroes in a Half Shell take down Spidey’s savage villain? Will my favorite team or my favorite villain be left standing when the dust settles? To keep the fight as fair as possible, let’s imagine this encounter takes place in a generic city setting at night and, aside from the combatants, it’s unpopulated. This is a totally random encounter, meaning the two sides know nothing about each other and they’ll have to learn more about what they're facing throughout the brawl. The Ninja Turtles just know that...

Comic Book Battles: Green Arrow vs Old Man Logan

For the second edition of Comic Book Battles (click here for the first fight), I thought it would be fun to use two heroes with completely different strengths and tactics: DC's Emerald Archer versus Marvel's Elderly X-Man!   Even in his old age, James ‘Logan’ Howlett, aka Old Man Logan, is tough to drop and he’s a talented brawler; however, his options in a battle are very limited. Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, may not be the best fighter in his universe, but he makes up for that with astonishing accuracy and cleverly using a variety of trick arrows that range from sonics to explosives. To better picture the entertaining encounter, imagine this fight takes place in a generic city setting. It’s nighttime, the street’s unpopulated (aside from the two heroes, of course), and they’ve spotted each other from a pretty good distance – let’s say 100 feet or so. This is a completely random encounter, meaning neither hero knows anything about their enemy – they’re from...

Comic Book Conversations #6: Mike Hawthorne

Art by Mike Hawthorne & Nathan Fairbairn Artist Mike Hawthorne has spent years bringing Deadpool’s adventures to life and he’s had the opportunity to illustrate Amazing Spider-Man, All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, Conan, and many more. In the sixth edition of Comic Book Conversations, Mike talks about his career as an artist, what it was like crafting a fight between the King of Wakanda and the Merc with a Mouth, and gives some advice to aspiring artists. Now, let’s get to know Mike a little better! Art by Mike Hawthorne & Val Staples GREGG KATZMAN: What did you do for work before becoming an artist? MIKE HAWTHORNE: Ha! Yeah, I did all kinds of stuff. I worked as a cook for a while, after college, then began taking work as a designer and advertising illustrator. I used to do work for the 76ers, back when Iverson was on the team. Coloring books, print ads, TV stuff, etc. I used to do storyboards for commercials and film, but always with an eye towards comics. ...
