Created by Scott Snyder (Batman) and Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus), this Eisner Award winning miniseries is as smartly written as it is beautiful to look at Here are the top five spoiler-filled reasons you should be reading The Wake. 1.) Scott Snyder wrote it. Snyder started writing comics for Marvel Comics in 2009 until Vertigo published[...]

If you didn't buy the first issue of Mark Millar and Sean Murphy's Chrononauts from Image Comics, you did good. Why? Because you now get to buy the second print we talked about before, with this cover… Where you're going, you don't need first prints. And while we are at it, here are the Adventure Time and Giant Days second[...]

Such as Francavilla's cover above… Across the globe, century after century, men and women were burned, drowned, hanged, tortured, imprisoned, persecuted, and murdered for witchcraft[...]

My favorite moments were getting my copy of Punk Rock Jesus signed by Sean Murphy, seeing a panel with Gail Simone and waxing nerdeloquent with Indie creators like Boots and Pub scribe John Yuskadiz. Yuskadiz is a life-long comic book fan that has attended Boston Comic Con for years and, as he explains, this year's convention[...]

The final issue of The Wake as a completed story by Scott Snyder, Sean Murphy, and Matthew Hollingsworth, arrived on July 3oth, a couple of days after the series won an Eisner Award at San Diego Comic Con 2014. Just prior to the convention, I ran some excerpted quotes by Scott Snyder about the series, already[...]

But I was never comfortable as a reader because that wasn't what it was about, as Snyder's statement confirms. I always felt that there was something very strange and distinctly wonderful, maybe even a little frightening about this combination of work from two comic creators rising to the top of their game in Scott Snyder and[...]

I've noticed that when passing between these arcs at their points of overlap, the story, and artist Sean Murphy tends to create elaborate poster-like spreads that act as entry points, usually conveying something new with a kind of birds eye view of the passage of time Some of these spreads are so memorable that I[...]

But there's no turning back now, that's for sure. Well, it's hard to recover from the deep thoughts in Overture enough to read any other comics, but we forge ahead with the also very high-minded series The Wake by Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy from Vertigo The previous issue, #6, peeled back the layers on the[...]

Written by Scott Snyder and with stellar art from Sean Murphy, colors by Matt Hollingsworth and lettering by Jared K Fletcher, it's a landmark in science-fiction with big scope, and the scope here is about to get bigger Love the switch to the popping cover colors after the darker hues and offset font of the[...]

It feels like everything has been building up to this moment as the mystery behind all these abstract allusions and unexplained origins begins to unfold in the last seconds of Part I of the series. What I can't emphasize enough is exactly how thoughtful artist Sean Murphy's work is in regards to the story's movement[...]

I’ve been looking forward to quite a few titles this week and more than ever before, I’m getting the Wednesday twitch and wanting to get into the shop to

Sean Gordon Murphy (Hellblazer: City of Angels) has put together quite a unique project and is using kickstarter to make it happen. He is going to work

John Cunningham moderated New York Comic Con's Vertigo Defy panel, with no fewer than 9 creators on board, including Shelly Bond, Caitlin Kittredge, Inaki Miranda , Sean Murphy, Rafael Albuquerque, Robbi Rodriguez, Scott Snyder, Ian Edginton, and Lee Bermejo. Bond jumped in immediately on the subject of waiting for the new Sandman: "You will not be[...]

Design props go to Fawn Lau for this one, with concept designs by Jeff Stokely. But the interiors of the book match the extras, so to speak, with some remarkable artwork from Jeff Stokely, and by the way artist and writer Sean Murphy seems to have had a hand in discussing the initial concept for the[...]

It'll remind you why you like Tom Strong in the first place, which is a pretty solid argument for the existence of this series and the return of the do-good pulp hero. Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy return with issue #4 of The Wake, one of Vertigo's strongest titles among several compelling series right now Previously[...]
