Episode 20 – Southern Cross

This week on Sequential Fiction Brian interviews the artist of Southern Cross – Andy Belanger.  We talk about what went in to creating the sci-fi space epic, what it’s like working with writer Becky Cloonan, how long the story has been in development, and what we can expect from the next volume of the series.

It was a great interview, and we touched on everything from the great support of Image Comics, and how much of the industry Image is influencing, to the problem of kids not getting into comics anymore.

Andy is a lot of fun to talk to, and we had a really great chat that I think any fan of comics will enjoy.

If you haven’t read Southern Cross yet, I highly recommend it. It’s a cross between 1970’s and 80’s sci fi like Alien and Blade Runner, with a healthy dose of Event Horizon thrown in for good measure.

The Publisher’s Summary: Now boarding: Southern Cross, tanker flight 73 to Titan. Alex Braith is tracing her sister’s steps to the refinery moon, hoping to collect her remains and find some answers. The questions keep coming though—and they lead her down a path of intrigue, betrayal, and galactic horror.

(more…)

WARNING – This episode contains spoilers. We are also encouraging discussion on our website, there are five warnings in the actual episode, and there are warnings before the actual discussion on this post.

This week Brian and Liam discuss Star Wars The Force Awakens, there is a full review, their favourite parts, and plenty of idle speculation about the future of the franchise.

Remember, not only can you find more about us on the Sequential Fiction website, but we also have a Twitter Feed where we talk about awesome comic stuff, a Facebook feed, and of course iTunes where you can subscribe to us.

Brian and Liam talked about the only good part of the Star Wars Holiday Special, the original 1979 animation from Toronto’s Nelvana Studios which would go on to do both the Droids and Ewoks Saturday morning cartoons. It is surprisingly good.

Liam chose Unfollow from Vertigo Comics

A dying social media mogul leaves his billions to be split evenly between 140 random people-or however many of them are still alive at the moment of his death. Rob Williams (MARTIAN MANHUNTER, THE ROYALS: MASTERS OF WAR) and Michael Dowling (Death Sentence) assemble a cast that includes a young black man trying to get by in St. Louis, an Iranian reporter in need of hope, a retired special forces soldier with a strange sense of purpose, and a thrill-seeking heiress in this thriller that shows we’re all still part of the food chain.

Brian’s choice was Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir

Getting cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi and being rejected by his former Sith Master Darth Sidious isn’t going to defeat Darth Maul. In fact, it only makes him mad enough to take on the galaxy, with an army of Mandalorians!

WARNING – THIS IS SPOILER COUNTRY!!!
