We Talk Comics

It’s interview time again as Brett sits down to talk with Ed Brisson, writer of Murder Book, Black River, Comeback, and most recently, Sheltered. Besides talking about his projects, they also discuss what goes into lettering a comic. Ed talks as much as he can about his upcoming two issue fill-in on Secret Avengers for Marvel, which leads into a chat about what Ed’s favorite comics are (hint, it’s not Watchmen).

Overall, a fascinating chat with a real up and coming talent in the industry.

You can check out Ed on twitter @edbrisson, visit his website edbrisson.com, and read Murder Book for FREE! at murderbookcomic.com.

Also check out our good friends at COMICOSITY who helped set up this fantastic interview.

We’re going to be honest with you here, the last We Talk Comics, Episode 85, had a few problems during the record, and we weren’t as happy with it as we’d like, so this episode is Back To Basics as we simplify things on episode 85.1 and just talk some comics.

Brett, Keith, and Mo gathered together and picked one recent story arc from each major publisher to talk about. Not so much a series of reviews as discussions on a sampling of the type of stories each company is producing.

From Dark Horse we have The Strain, the comic book adaptation of famous film director Guillermo del Toro & co-author Chuck Hogan’s novel.

Image gave us the criminally unknown Snapshot from Andy Diggle and artist Jock.

We can thank Chris Roberson for the words and Dennis Calero with Alex Ross for the pictures On Dynamite Entertainment’s Masks.

Chris Roberson makes a second appearance as the writer of Edison Rex from his very own digital first publisher Monkeybrain, with help on the art by Dennis Culver.

Say Anything singer / songwriter Max Bemis first ever comic book work with Portuguese artist Jorge Coelho from Boom! Studios gets plenty of talk.

DC is where we head to for the first story arc by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, Green Arrow: The Killing Machine.

Daredevil: End of Days from Marvel’s Brian Michael Bendis, David Mack, Klaus Janson and various contributing artists is also dissected thoroughly.

The concluding chapter to Robert Venditti’s opening saga in X-O Manowar, Planet Death is also on the docket featuring Cary Nord’s visuals.

And last but not least we check in with IDW to get an idea of what John Byrne is up to with his limited series Highways

Plus as always we have The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (thanks to our proud partnership with COMICOSITY) and our regular quick hit reviews section WeViews on Gail Simone’s work on the highly anticipated Red Sonja #1, Blood Brothers #1, Dinosaurs Attack! #1 & Superior Carnage #1.

Just tremendous comic talk on this one!

For over an hour Brett & Mo go over his career from his start reading comics, getting his foot in the door working at a Warehouse for Top Shelf Productions, seeing his 1st book Surrogates being turned into a major motion picture staring Bruce Willis, being approached by Valiant to write these characters he’d never heard of, how that led to his work for DC writing Demon Knights and why he wanted to take on those particular characters to the daunting task of taking over for Geoff Johns writing Hal Jordan in the main Green Lantern title. This is an unfiltered, funny and fascinating look at of one of comic books most interesting upcoming minds.

It’s Episode Number 79 for We Talk comics this time spotlighting a new semi regular feature called The Speculators where the guys try and figure out how history would have changed if one simple event was different. From figuring out what would have happened to Marvel if they had cancelled X-Men instead of publishing Giant Sized X-Men #1 to trying to determine if Hal Jordan would be less popular if DC hadn’t killed him and several topics in between this is as much fun as any topic ever on the show.
