This weekend, at East Coast Comicon, I got the chance to chat with writer Brandon Montclare (Fearsome Four) and artist Amy Reeder (Madame Xanadu) about their work, especially on their creator owned title Rocket Girl, which is published by Image Comics as well as sci-fi, action scenes, and much more. Rocket Girl is about a teen cop from the future named DaYoung Johansson, who travels back to 1980s New York to prevent an evil corporation from inventing technology to basically take over the world.
Sound on Sight: So why should readers pick up the second arc of Rocket Girl?
Amy Reeder: If you loved the first one, it’s so worth it to keep reading. We had originally planned to make our story five issues, but we were talking and realized that wasn’t enough time to tell this story. You have to develop the characters first so people can...

Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with Judd Winick to go over his latest endeavor, A Town Called Dragon. The book centers around the town of Dragon, Colorado and the myths and legends that helped to give the town its name. As we find out in issue one, they might not be just legends. Here is a recap of my time with Judd.
Matt: Well, I had the chance to read issue 1, and I loved it.
Judd: Good to hear.
Matt: I did right off the bat want to give some kudos to the colorist, as the art in the book is incredibly well done. I have read a decent amount of fantasy books, so its not like I’m not used to seeing dragons, warriors, etc, but the art stood out from most others.
Judd: Thank you so much, Jamie Grant did a knockout job on the colors.

A Town Called Dragon General Information Released: September 24th, 2014 Publisher: Legendary Comics Writer: Judd Winick Artist: Geoff Shaw Colorist: Jamie Grant Letter: Sean Konot Book & Logo Designer: John J. Hill Associate Editor: Greg Tumbarello Editor: Bob Schreck Official Website Cbm Interviews Writer: Judd Winick (Available Soon!) Editorial Biases I tend to prefer comic books and graphic novels that are off the beaten path. Even for comics published by mainstream publishers, sometimes you get relatively unique pieces that are not really the norm. We're flooded by superheroes with brightly colored uniforms, exquisitely simple secret identities and a variety of powers, weapons and technology to boot. It's nice sometimes to get something different where the concept of less-is-more almost reigns dominant. Those are the comics I tend to love the most, because they make big statements while understating their premise, their cause, their purpose for telling their story. Whenever I get my...

A thriller produced by Joe Dante? A superhero comic? Capitalist dwarves? They're some of the crowdfunding projects we've picked this week...
Although it's our job to highlight the shiny new crowdfunding projects that emerge onto the internet each week in this post, it's heart warming to see some of the items we've covered in the past get the funding they require.
Some of you may recall that games industry legend Mel Croucher was looking for an entirely reasonable £9,800 to complete his sequel to the eccentric 80s oddity Deus Ex Machina, which would again tell Shakespeare's seven ages of man using graphics, weird sounds and the voice of Christopher Lee.
We were pleased to see that Deus Ex Machina 2 managed to exceed its goal recently, and with four days to go at the time of writing, has managed to amass just under £11,000 - not bad for a niche project based in the UK,...
