Carnival of souls: Brevoort, Flashpoint, fun Friday art, more

* No one in superhero comics gives better interview in terms of how the sausage gets made than Marvel’s Tom Brevoort.

* Whoa: DC is launching fully sixteen miniseries for its Flashpoint event. And when you look at last year’s sales charts, can you blame them? “Whither the midlist” is always the big question, but these things are going to eat up like half of the upper charts all on their own.

* This Axe Cop fan film looks beautiful and has an incredible theme song.

* Ooh, a lovely A Song of Ice and Fire art gallery by Gianluca Maconi.

* My collaborator Matt Wiegle is posting illustrations for Lord of the Flies at the Partyka site.

* Becky Cloonan posts a page from an unpublished “Abercomic” I commissioned from her for an abortive relaunch of Abercrombie & Fitch’s A&F Quarterly a few years back. Sexy, no?

* Via Matt Seneca, this comic Superwest by Massimo Mattioli sure looks interesting.

* I’m happy/sad to hear that Jeffrey Brown has an Incredible Change-Bots strip in the final issue of Wizard. Click the link for further Change-Bots goodies.

* Speaking of Wizard, my friend and former coworker Mel Caylo of Archaia talks to Sam Humphries and the gang at Meltdown Comics’ Meltcast podcast about the demise of Wizard and ToyFare. If there’s one thing we Wizard alums can do well, it’s talk about life at Wizard; Mel should give you some insight into what it was really like there.

    Hey, thanks! It turned out to be one of my favorite Meltcasts. Would have loved to have had more of the crew present.

    There’s a copy of SUPERWEST at my less-than-local comic shop. Been lingering there forever…

    15 tie-ins and one main book for Flashpoint, all for an alternate reality book? It’s like Elseworld’s on crack but with a twist that it sort of ties in to the normal DC Universe so continuity-freaks will have an excuse to pick up the comic because it kinda-sorta “counts”. It’s sort of a perfect mixture for DC. Doesn’t change the fact that I plan to buy zero of the books however. I’m just not too big on the Flash or the idea of having to spend $100 just to get the full story (so says the man who bought every Civil-War tie-in comic, though I shall not ever do that again).
