Meet Joe Golem, The New Hero From The Creator Of Hellboy

by with No Comment Comics NewsNews

The Hollywood Reporter has debuted some artwork by comic book writer/artist Mike Mignola showcasing the star of his new series: Joe Golem. The artwork is intended for publication as a variant cover for the first issue of Joe Golem: Occult Detective series, and while the finished version of the artwork will be a collaboration with Mignola’s regular colourist Dave Stewart this image is the kine art just at it left Mignola’s drawing board.

Joe Golem, a pulp detective in an alternate 20th century where parts of Manhattan have been flooded, first appeared in the 2013 prose novel Joe Golem And The Drowning City by Mignola and Christopher Golden. However, Mignola will sadly not be providing the interior art for the forthcoming  five-issue comic book series that launches in November. That honour goes to Patric Reynolds with Stewart providing the colours.

 

 

This Trailer For The Comic Raising Dion Is Also A Great Short SF Film

by with No Comment Comics NewsNews

Raising Dion is a new superhero comic book Dennis Liu and Jason Piperberg that has a twist. And it’s a twist that’s beautifully captured in this trailer that also serves as a really great short film. There’s the feel of The Chronicle about it as it shows the challenges faced by a young mother bringing up a superpowered child.

Liu has previously directed adverts and music video director. He tells Today that he wanted to create a story that made a statement about superhero diversity:

“I did not want to play the race card, but honestly, as a member of the DGA EDSC [Directors Guild of America Eastern Diversity Steering Committee] Diversity council for several years, I felt like something had to be done about superhero diversity. I also felt the industry was simply answering the gender card by glorifying women as a war hero, like in The Hunger Games, or the new Wonder Woman film coming out. I think this [approach] works, but I wanted to point out that it doesn’t have to be the only solution.”

Raising Dion #1 is available to download for free.

Image Of The Week: Wonder Woman Officiates At Same Sex Marriage

by with No Comment Comics NewsNews

Ever since she was created by William Moulton Marston in 1941 Wonder Woman has been one of the most politically and socially progressive superheroes, a symbol for feminism long before the bra-burning ’60s. And that proud tradition continues as she becomes the first superhero to officiate at a same sex marriage in Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman, Chapter 48.

The issue was written and illustrated by DC newcomer Jason Badower who tells The Huffington Post that given Wonder Woman’s origins on the all-female Paradise Island, it made sense for the character to tie the knot between two women.

“I saw this Wonder Woman story as an incredible opportunity to have one of the most recognisable, iconic characters in the world to be among the first to step forward and officially endorse this new law,” he says referring to America’s Supreme Court’s recent ruling over same-sex marriage. “But I thought, let’s not just have Wonder Woman embrace this new law, let’s have her celebrate it.”
