Gregg Schigiel: So, Stephen, will digital comics and the iPad change everything? Are digital downloads and motion-comics the future…and the future is NOW!?!

Stephen Mayer: Man, a loaded question if I’ve ever heard one! And I can’t help but be biased! I mean, I work in the brick-and-mortar side of the industry!

OK, so digital comics…

We're thrilled to bring you the first interview conducted by our good friend Adam Orchekowski with an upcoming Acme hero, Crogan's Vengeance and Crogan's March creator Chris Schweizer!

If you enjoy the interview, let Adam know on the message board (he's 50 Tooth Slim) and come by and let Chris know during his signing on March 13th for March Madness 2010!

 

Stephen Mayer: In today’s world of comics, where it can really seem like a writer or artist is just creating for the individual collection, it’s rare to see a consistent “run” on a title longer than 20 or so issues.

Of course, there are the exceptions, like Bendis on New Avengers or Daredevil or Geoff Johns on Green Lantern, but nowadays most titles more closely resemble Fantastic Four, which, after a lengthy run with Mark Waid and primarily artist Mike Wieringo, has seen Karl Kesel for 2 issues (#525-526), JMS for 17 (#527-543), Dwayne McDuffie for 10 (#544-553), and Mark Millar for 16 (#554-569) before Jonathan Hickman began his current stretch.

So let’s say for the sake of our argument that a run must be at least…25 issues long? 30? I dunno, you tell me, but let’s make it a meaty chunk of work.

Welcome back to I Hunger! I apologize I forgot to do a blog about last week's menu, it was just more breakfast stuff anyway, not much different from the first menu. This week, however, we're finally out of doing breakfast foods and we've moved on to bigger and better things! But, before I get into that, as you can see I have finally selected a name for this blog. It was a tough choice but the winner is LAWYERHULK! So the next time you are in the store, let me know who you are and I will grant you the previously stated discount. BUT THATS NOT ALL! Because i had such a hard time deciding what to use, I am also going to grant Mr. Sellars a discout of his own for the "eggcellent" use of the word Eggcelsior! So thanks everyone for the suggestions and thank you for the interest in the blog, I hope to keep it up for as long as im in school. Alright, onto the good stuff.
