Onomatopoeia had the pleasure of talking to comic stalwarts, turned wicked kids book creators; writer, John Seven and artist Jana Christy. We discuss; their foray into the 1990’s comic scene with their black and white comic series Very Vicky, as well as explore Jana’s lush art and John’s clever writing on their new kids books: The Happy Punk series, A Year with Friends, and their most recent, A Rule is to Break: A Child’s Guide to Anarchy.

So my former babysitter is now on his way to becoming a great Canadian film director/screenwriter. An interview with Jason Lapeyre, a few days before the Fantasia Fest 2012 Premiere of his movie Cold Blooded. One of three to come out in 2012, Cold Blooded is not for the faint at heart. Here’s the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_5RFKaAJN4

This week on Onomatopoeia we look at all the spin off series from The Sandman. Like The Dreaming, Death: A High Cost of Living, Time of Your Life, Death at Deaths Door, The Deadboy Detectives, Jill Thompson’s adorable Lil Endless, Sandman Mystery Theatre, all the Sandman Presents, Sandman: Dream Hunters, Endless Nights and Lucifer. Even though most weren’t written by Neil Gaiman, they still hold true to his creative genius and are just as fun. Besides, don’t you want to know what happens to the characters you’ve become invested in since reading the entire Sandman oeuvre?

Creators Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido are on a level unto themselves, straight out of the gate they had this fantastic character that oozed Dashiell Hammett and moved like a dream. The writing made it hard to put down, the twists and turns were rarely predictable. With 4 books detailing the adventures of Blacksad, Canales and Guarnido have mastered the art of comic. Anthropomorphic and so much more, Onomatopoeia gushes like a fan girl over the beautiful Blacksad.

It’s Wall-E and Eva! I got Wall-E at a Toys R Us here in Montreal. He’s got great articulation and he spits out cubes of garbage! He has wheels on his feet and his eyes move as well. He’s really a nicely detailed toy. I saw Eva at a Toys R Us Express in Ontario […]
Less like a comic, more like a masterpiece, Blacksad fulfills all your crime noir needs.
They couldn't just leave it alone, so we talk about it. Sandman spin offs by a gaggle of artists and writers.
