Paul Cornell Interview

July 25th, 2008

One year on (and a couple of months) from our much-celebrated Bristol Comic Expo Interview with the superstar team of Kieron “Warhammer” Gillen and Jamie “Negative Burn” McKelvie, Seb and I, accompanied by our Comics Daily partner in crime Julian, interviewed Paul Cornell, top Doctor Who TV scribe (and writer of Captain Britain, the actual best Marvel comic being released at the moment) My contribution to the interview, if you haven’t guessed, was mostly the comics stuff. Should interest nerds and norms alike.

One to Watch, 4Talent Magazine

June 6th, 2008

A comp copy of the rather chunky 4Talent Magazine Issue #9 hit my doormat today, containing a piece I wrote based on an interview with Mat Heywood and Lihee Avidian of MonkeyWitch, conducted in the windy, cold outdoor area of a Spanish Cafe somewhere in Ladbroke Grove in the middle of February. The piece is part of the “one to watch” feature spotlighting new and upcoming creative types. 

4Talent magazine is fairly hard to find on the shelves, but I believe it’ll be available in Borders and is well worth the £5 it’ll cost you for a copy (and would be even if I wasn’t in it!) You can also buy it at the 4Talent Magazine website for £2.50 postage on top, but then it is less effort that way.

Not strictly one of mine, but I did contibute some of the questions to the Den of Geek group interview of Dave Gibbons, so have a look anyway:

Bristol International Comics Expo 2008

May 13th, 2008

As mentioned, I spent the weekend in Bristol at the Comics Expo. Since I was going anyway, I did a con report for CBR which largely focuses on Saturday’s panels and the Eagle Awards, because I spent Sunday recovering and tracking down comics.

Ever fancy reading a tiredness-fuelled rant about how the comics industry lets people from the movies walk all over them out of some bizarre self-loathing? Of course you do! Here it is.
