100 Best Comics of the 2010s

People tend to reminisce about long gone eras, arguing that things were always better way back when. But when it comes to comics, there’s no denying that the 21st century has seen the medium explode in unprecedented and unpredictable ways. For many people, that has come primarily in the form of the advent of the […]

Down and Out in Terminal City: Catching Up with Ed Brisson

December 3, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Ed Brisson

As one of the hardest working men in comics, Ed Brisson seems to always be juggling a number of promising projects. We chatted with the gritty Vancouverite earlier this year about his trippy super hero epic The Mantle so we were happy to talk to him again about his new urban noir work The Violent. Where The Mantle was a […]

ymmv Ryan K Lindsay

You are not good enough to write a massive story and stick the landing. Truthfully, nor am I, I suspect. But sometimes it’s refreshing to hear it, and without the kid gloves on. There aren’t enough demotivational posters getting around up in here. You just aren’t going to drop that 60 issue knowledge, but your […]

We’re Going to Make Drugs Cool Again: An Interview with Ed Brisson

May 13, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

The Mantle Brian Level

Ed Brisson is a comics lifer, a solid guy whose name I first recognized through his lettering work. Lettering doesn’t get you a lot of recognition in comics most of the time, but I noticed that Ed’s name was in the credits of a number of indie comics that got me excited. So naturally I […]

Advance Review: The Mantle Proves Punk Rock Isn’t Dead

May 12, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

The Mantle Ed Brisson Brian Level Image Comics

There’s a quote from a bitter old crank that goes “punk rock died when the first kid said punk’s not dead.” Call it Reverse Tinkerbellism, a cynicism so heavy it states belief itself is enough to kill a movement; clap your hands, say oi, clap your hands, drop dead. But punk can’t really ever die, […]

Advanced Review: The Field #1 (Image Comics)

March 29, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

  Artist: Simon Roy Writer: Ed Brisson Colorist: Simon Cough Published by Image Comics If you saw Inside Llewyn Davis and like me you enjoyed it but weren’t blown away, there’s probably one scene that nonetheless sticks out to you even now. The scene in question occurs exactly in the middle of the film, as […]
