EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: John Layman Gives Bloody-Disgusting.com Something To ‘Chew’ On!

2011 has been a good year for Image Comics’ “CHEW”. The series has not only been successfully optioned for TV rights thanks to Showtime, but it has also netted itself 3 Eisner Award noms.

John was gracious enough to sit down and talk to me about the project, the Eisner nominations, and the foray into Hollywood, which you can read beyond the break. Read on for the skinny…

Last Resort #2, North 40 #3, Marvel Zombies – New Releases This Week – 9/3

I was assuming this week there weren’t’ going to be any good horror comics coming out….well I was sorely mistaken. I would suggest a couple titles to pick up this week: North 40 (if this does not become a tv show/movie, Hollywood is even more stupid than I thought), Sweet Tooth (it’s only a buck and it’s creepy good), Last Resort(with must buy covers by Darwyn Cooke, the story is actually pretty good and is very well paced), and Chew(everyone should really be reading this…Period). Also a new Marvel Zombies has come out, but I can’t suggest it since I haven’t read it yet. What are you getting this week?
