Baring any holiday related issues, Episode 4 of Comics on Comics will be posted on Monday.
But for our fans in the Los Angeles area, there’s another comedy event happening at Meltdown TONIGHT at 9pm. It’s called the Tournament of Nerds and features comic fans in heated debates as to whether Superman could take out Gandolf or if Voltron can handle Dr. Manhattan…
It’s sponsored by the Upright Citizens Brigade, which will be hosting the finals on Friday, July 11th. The Comics on Comics crew will be in the crowd tonight to offer our support and we hope to see you there too!
Juan-Manuel Rocha interviews best-selling author Brad Meltzer about the creation of Identity Crisis, his secret to writing great characters, comics as an art form, the true meaning behind the creation of Superman, and how proud he is to be a geek.
Also be sure to check out his amazing upcoming novel, The Book of Lies, which connects Cain’s murder of Abel in the book of Genesis with the creation of Superman. It’s a great read!
