Moebius or Jean Giraud is one of those world famous comic book artists that no one in North America (except, of course, true lovers of the medium). He’s known for his far out sci-fi comic strips from Heavy Metal or his wonderful western series Blueberry. Moebius’ is sort of like...

I Love Comics | Batman Post Morrison

I love Batman. Maybe not as much as this guy, but maybe that’s a good thing. The last four years have been a very good time to be a Batman fan. Grant Morrison has been giving us a run that will – I believe – come to be as appreciated as much as anything Miller or...

I Heart Comics | Ellerbisms: No More?

I’m a sucker for slice of life autobiographical comics. There’s something really refreshing about not knowing what to expect with each update. Whether it’s a gag strip, or a ‘hits-to-close-to-home’ moment that seems oddly out of place until you realize that...

I Heart Comics | Contemplating a Hypothesis

I thought I’d chime in this week with a series of contemplations and hypothesis about some recent comic book news and such. Javier Pulido is one of my favourite artists. Straight up. I think his panel layout and his ability to convey emotion through a simple line is one of the most...

I Love Comics: Grant Morrison (Part One)

Disclaimer: I don't know what this is, it's not organized nor is it well thought out - it's just a gut reaction ramble to Grant Morrison's work. It's more about celebrating someone who is pushing the superhero medium into it's next level. If you can handle that... read on.

I Love Comics: Tintin

I Love Comics is a Monday to Friday examination of the many reasons why we here at Comicbookdaily.com love comics. Not all of them might be to your tastes, but hey – isn’t that the whole point of Comics? I went to a French elementary school, so my exposure to comics growing up were...

Why I Love Comics: Danijel Zezelj

Danijel Zezelj doesn’t draw comics so much as he chisels with ink. His style is one that can be a little bracing at first; heavy blacks and thick lines dominate his work and gives the impression of – for lack of a better description – a low budget shakey-cam style. Warren...
