September 2, 2010September 20, 2010 Doug Groves Comic, event, Fan Expo 2010, interview, Nick Thornborrow, Show, SwagBag 2010, The Anthology Project2 Comments

Last year at Fan Expo, we spoke with Nick Thornborrow of The Anthology Project, which was aiming not just to put out a quality collection of shorts from a variety of artists, but to really care about the physical quality of the book itself… to make a beautiful “artifact” as Nick put it. Well, the book was released a few months ago, and he has no worries in that department. The artwork from each of the contributors really pops in this hardbound, and really does them justice. Nick also mentions…

Fan Expo 2010 – Lar deSouza Interview

September 1, 2010September 20, 2010 Doug Groves artist, Fan Expo 2010, interview, Lar deSouza, Least I Could Do, Looking For Group, Show, webcomic3 Comments

Lar deSouza, the rather prolific artist of Least I Could Do and Looking For Group, let us sit down with him ‘in booth’ during Fan Expo this year. Despite almost constantly drawing and signing, something I gather he does all the time no matter where he is, he found the time to talk about the different approaches he takes for each of the webcomics he works on, and the value of trying to copy another artist’s style, not for the end result, but to figure out their process.

Fan Expo 2010 – Jeff Lemire Interview

September 1, 2010September 1, 2010 Doug Groves Comics, Essex County, Fan Expo 2010, interview, Jeff Lemire, Krypto, Superboy, Sweet Tooth, The Atom1 Comment

Peter B. sits down with Jeff Lemire, creator of Sweet Tooth (see Peter’s review) and Essex County, to talk about his influences, and the recurring theme of small town life in his work. The next chapter of Sweet Tooth will give readers more insight to Jepperd’s background. Jeff also mentions that the mysterious event that led to the current day situation will get an explanation, though he drops no hints. He also talks a bit about his upcoming Superboy comic (the Kon-El Superboy), and that both The Phantom Stranger and…

With the end of the last weekend of August comes the end of Fan Expo, by far the largest gathering of fans from across the geek spectrum in Canada, and third largest in North America. 2010 also marks the third year that we at RGB Filter have stormed the gates with video cameras and mics in hand to interview artists, writers, game designers and the occasional geek celebrity, meaning that I’m personally looking at about 6 hours of footage to pour through. One of the consistent highlights of Fan Expo…

The end of August is the one time of year where the various geek and nerd subcultures collide in a heady mix of homebrew costumes and unadulterated hero (and heroine) worship. Fan Expo, the ultimate Canadian merger of fandom takes place August 27-29, and brings together the Canadian National Comic Book Expo, the Science Fiction Expo, the Festival of Fear, the Anime Expo and the Gaming Expo once again under the roof the the Metro Convention Centre. Over the past couple of years, we’ve been lucky enough to cover Fan…

Box 13 comic review

August 11, 2010August 16, 2010 Peter Brunton Box 13, Comics, Dave Gallaher, digital comics, Red 5 Comics, review, Steve Ellis7 Comments

Box 13 Publisher: Red 5 Comics Review based on the trade paperback, original published on Comics by ComiXology iPhone app Writer: David Gallaher Art: Steve Ellis (inks), Mike Paar (colours) & Scott Brown (letters) Technologic OK, let me start by saying that Box 13, if nothing else, is a noble experiment. Conceptually, a comic book divided up into mini issues, just 8 pages long (including cover), designed to be read on your phone is pretty freaking cool. After all, in so many ways the comic book format seems ideally suited…

If you’re wondering what this poster is about, blame Videogum. Yesterday, they posted an article about this Scrooge McDuck comic book, which has some startling similarities to Christopher Nolan’s film Inception… Read on if you dare the tongue in cheek spoiler alert…

The makers of The Walking Dead TV series, on AMC, screened the first official trailer at the San Diego Comic Con this year, and at least one person in attendance managed to record it and put it up on YouTube. Though it’s a cam, the trailer holds up and it looks like they’re getting everything right. Also AMC posted some great pictures today from Comic-Con, where the show and cast made a big splash. You can check them out here. Lastly you can catch AMC’s The Walking Dead Motion Comic…

On Monday night we attended the Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour (vol.6) Launch Party, and while I knew that the comic was popular, I didn’t expect to see so many people crowding Markham Street, waiting for the book, and their hero, Bryan Lee O’Malley to sign it. If you are not too familiar with Scott Pilgrim, it is a manga inspired-comic set in Toronto, starring the titular Scott Pilgrim and his efforts to win, and keep, his dream girl, Ramona Flowers by battling her seven ‘evil exes’. Since the first issue…

Inception prequel comic online – The Cobol Job

Even though I read about this ‘prequel’ comic before I saw Inception (twice!) this weekend I didn’t read it immediately. You see I was attempting a media blackout of all information about the movie, so I would go into the theater knowing as little as possible about the film. After seeing the film, I can tell you that the comic spoils nothing, especially if you have already seen some the trailers, and know a little about the film’s premise. The comics is written by Jordan Goldberg, one of the co-producers…

Is UP just a rip off of Gran Torino? You decide.
