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 Conversations #9: Andrea Sorrentino

For the ninth edition of Comic Book Conversations, I’m thrilled to welcome Andrea Sorrentino to the interview segment! Best known for his work on Green Arrow, Old Man Logan, Gideon Falls, and I,Vampire, the artist shares details about his creative process, explains why he reads reviews of his work, and gives aspiring artists some great advice. Plus, he offers some insight into one of Old Man Logan’s unforgettable double-page spreads. Now, let’s get to know Andrea a little better! GREGG KATZMAN: When did you realize you wanted to become an artist and what inspired you? ANDREA SORRENTINO: I’ve always liked to draw, since when I was a kid. I clearly remember this drawing I did when I was at the primary school, I think it was an animal in a jungle, and everyone liked it so much that it remained hooked in our room for a while. I think that was the very first push I had to keep drawing. But talking about comics, I’m not sure. I grew up reading Disney comics during ...

Comic Book Review: Old Man Logan #43

Review by Gregg Katzman Ed Brisson (writer) Juan Ferreyra (artist) VC's Cory Petit (letterer) Bullseye has always been one of the scariest Marvel villains, and that's made him one of my favorite bad guys. He may not look terrifying like Sabretooth and he may not be powerful like Carnage, but there's nothing more frightening than a highly skilled and intelligent person who loves to kill. Sabretooth can sometimes be reasoned with; Carnage can be outsmarted. But Bullseye? He won't change his mind, and he has a twisted gift for murder - he adores it. He's the best there is at what he does, and what he does is horrifying.  Old Man Logan #43 does a superb job portraying Bullseye as a spine-chilling and formidable foe. Before I talk about this issue's story, take a look at Mike Deodato Jr. and Carlos Lopez's cover below - the look in Bullseye's eyes and that sick smirk tells you everything you need to know about the crazed character.

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...
