This week on Creannotators, I talked with novelist Carrie Harris about her work X-Men: Liberty and Justice For All, the first entry in Aconyte Books line of Marvel’s Xavier School prose stories! We talk about Carrie’s history with X-Men comics, the specific era of X-Men and characters Harris is working with (right down to the in-continuity location in Marvel’s comics!), and much more.

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!

According to Carrie, X-Men: Liberty and Justice For All occurs between Uncanny X-Men (2013 – 2015) issue #15 and #17.

The post Marvel Year Twenty-Seven: 1988 Pt. 1 appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

In general, Marvel event handbooks are a quick recap, a visual Wikipedia, of story details that can help readers understand the players, reasons, and storylines applicable to the event comic. While this is true of the X-Men: X of Swords handbook, there’s so much we still don’t know, and so many fascinating mysteries in the event and the Hickman era of X-Men at large, that I was deeply engaged with the handbook’s 50+ pages hunting for clues.

Today I’ll answer:

Spoilers for X-Men comics will follow!

This week on Creannotators, I talked with comics writer Mark Russell about Billionaire Island and Second Coming from Ahoy Comics, as well as his DC Comics career including Flintstones, and what comes next!

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!

Russell’s work often tackles massive systems, the way capitalism, religion, and ultimately human nature dominate our lives and our cultures. With Billionaire Island I was yet again impressed to find that while the six issues tackle wealth inequality, there’s also a heavy focus on the impending gradual apocalypse of climate change and population growth, not to mention a real dig into the nature of human survival instincts.

Billionaire Island is:

Writer: Mark Russell

Artist: Steve Pugh

Colors: Chris Chuckry

Letters: Rob Steen

The collected edition of Billionaire Island will be available in comic shops November 11, 2020, and available in bookstores and elsewhere November 24.

This week on Creannotators, I talked with comics creator Kazu Kibuishi about the incredibly successful all ages series Amulet, the impending 9th and final book, and some teases and revelations about what’s next!

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio/visual annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!

Amulet is published by Scholastic Books, and is one of the biggest YA graphic novel series in America. Jeff Smith’s Bone is a logical and common comparison point (augmented by Smith’s endorsing quote on the cover of many Amulet books!), and Amulet is destined for a similarly long shelf life in the comics canon.
