BCC: Paul Pope & Bob Schreck
The ComicNe.ws Tracker &bull Sep 1, 2010
An intimate crowd was very eager to see Paul Pope and Bob Schreck take the dais at last weekend's Baltimore Comic-Con. Billed as a "cage match," the panel was surprisingly low-key, extremely low-tech (no slides) and very casual. Paul Pope and Bob Schreck first worked together while Schreck was editing at Dark Horse. Schreck confessed to having to hound Pope, which resulted in Pope casting Schreck as Captain Haddock from "Tintin." Schreck said that working with Pope is like working with Frank Miller "or someone else in that realm." As Pope's editor, Schreck is… Full Story »

Review: Harley Quinn: Preludes and Knock-Knock Jokes
Every Day Is Like Wednesday &bull Aug 22, 2010
Superhero comic industry conventional wisdom has long held that supervillains simply didn't work as the stars of their own titles. In the good old days, this was due to the fact that villains generally had to get punished for their crimes at regular intervals, and apparently it was somewhat frustrating to end every single issue with your lead either being hauled off to jail or seemingly killed in an explosion or something (The classic example of supervillain comics being untenable is probably DC's 1975 Joker, which lasted just nine issues). I assume supervillain comics-or at least ones of the ongoing,… Full Story »
