Thanks to STEVEN BISCOTTI at Whatchareading for the interview.
Friday, during a busy afternoon at New York Comic Con, What’cha Reading had the opportunity to speak with Paul Azaceta, the popular artist behind the unsettling visuals of Robert Kirkman’s latest title – Outcast. The already year old comic by Skybound and Image is soon to be a television series on Cinemax; its only added to the intensity of fandom that the New Jersey based and Cadence Comic Art represented artist has encountered. So, on this crowded and more attended than SDCC event, we found Paul Azaceta at the Skybound booth and spoke to him about everything from his experience at this year’s New York Comic Con, to the visual development and approach to his work, and just how you could obtain one of his original pieces of art.

Hey, CHU, it’s DrunkWooky. Wondering if the Paper Girls’ one weakness is a butane lighter. That’s one way to make a #1 heat up.
If you’re a CHU reader, you probably have heard some contributors talk about low print runs. We care because, obviously, if something heats up and has a print run in the low thousands, that can mean huge value increases. Most of the time this is an advanced prediction. Notwithstanding retailer exclusives where tiny print runs are part of the advertised allure of collectability, we usually don’t know actual numbers until after the fact.
A while back, at Baltimore Comic Con, someone I know who seems to be in the know asked me to start looking around for high grade copies of the original Moon Knight #1 (1980).

Z-Men takes place in the Night of the Living Dead Universe (it is public domain material) and loosely based on the original films. If you got the set of all ten comics you would have seen some pretty closely related scenes.
The Bill Jemas spearheaded comic (and comic universe) has been optioned by Lionsgate for a feature film. Continue reading “Double Take’s Z-Men optioned as movie”
