Links: Airbender, Scooby Doo, and comics for girls

June 1, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Rick Marshall talks to Dave Roman, co-writer of The Last Airbender: Zuko’s Story (a prequel to the movie) at MTV’s Splash Page.

At The Graphic Classroom, Peter Gutierrez visits the Comics in the Curriculum exhibit at Columbia University and talks to the curator, Karen Green, and Chris Wilson interviews Alexander and Joseph Lagos, the creators of The Sons of Liberty. Also, Nate Stearns compares Trickster, an anthology of Native American folk tales, to Athena: Grey-Eyed Goddess.

Here’s a great idea: Hope Larson asked 198 women what types of comics they liked as girls. Her post is entertaining and the comments are great as well. I added my thoughts at Robot 6, my CBR colleague Kiel Phegley added his two cents at The Cool Kids Table, and Kelly Thompson followed it up with an interview with Hope at Comics Should Be Good!

Kiel also talks to Yen Press publishing director Kurt Hassler about Twilight: The Graphic Novel and the rest of their line.

J.L. Bell is concerned that Janice has lost her guitar in the Muppet Show comics; he also comments on the lack of females in general.

Leigh Dragoon and Jake Myler discuss their work on the Fraggle Rock comics.

The Fictional Frontiers podcast interviewed Bone creator Jeff Smith at C2E2.

Darkwing Duck writer Ian Brill talks to Blog@Newsarama’s David Pepose about moving to a monthly format.

Archie Comics is bringing back The Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E., to be written by Tom DeFalco.

Gene Luen Yang shares some book club questions for his book The Eternal Smile.

The new Wimpy Kid book has been announced, and I look at that and a couple of parodies at Robot 6.
