Falling Skies: The Webcomic

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on February 17, 2011 - 10:36

I've gotten a couple of pings from the very polite person working for YouCast: the Social Media Company about a press release for a webcomic prequel to an upcoming television show. Webcomic prequels and sequels to television shows and movies are almost a genre now.  Maybe award shows need to start a new category for these kinds of comics.  

So it's a ways off -- June 2011 -- but Steven Spielberg has a new television series called Falling Skies that will be on TNT (hey - better distribution than Current TV amIrightKeith?). The webcomic is written by Paul Tobin and illustrated by Juan Ferreyra and will bridge the gap between the 12-page Falling Skies comic released at New York Comic Con. Also - colored by Andy Dalhouse and lettered by "font majeur" (like that?) and webcomic creator NATE PIEKOS.

Thanks to our cover artist for February - Leroy Brown, creator of Ice Cubes. Also thanks to this week's sponsor, the webcomic title Charliehorse.  The sponsor slot is still open for next week - going cheap! :)

Two new interviews up this week - one with the creators of Erfworld and one with Bryant Paul Johnson of Teaching Baby Paranoia.

LETTERING
Nate Piekos has a post up on typographic conventions in comic lettering.  Very informative! (h/t Boing Boing).

INTERVIEWS
Comix 411 has an interview with Norm Feuti creator of Retail, which is syndicated by King Features and a webcomic, Gill, which debuted toward the end of last year.

Como Se Webcomic?
Olaf Moriarty Solstrand has an interesting article considering the costs and benefits for creators in non-english speaking countries to use english in their comics.

Motion Comics
Todd Allen has an article on the history of "motion comics" (yeah they've been around longer than that recent Watchman effort).

JUSTIFY MY HYPE
Dark Horse is debuting a webcomic in the Star Wars universe containing a prequel storyline to an upcoming videogame, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

RANDOM CATCHUP COMIC READING
Just finished Jessica Abel's Life Sucks graphic novel (published last year by First Second) - I cannot rave about it enough.  A great, novel twist on vampires (Dracula meets Clerks) with great pacing and really sharp art.  I was a little disappointed with the ending but not that much.
