All in all a great release from Mad Cave Studios; it looks and feels like they have upped their game, and they; are on their way up and up. I say this not just from this comic; but from seeing their upcoming comics and graphic novels. I think if you have not been keeping an eye on Mad Cave Studios, you should be keeping on an eye on this studio.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Scott has written many comics, including\u00a0Pennyworth<\/em>, Batman Gotham Nights<\/em>, Altered Carbon OGN<\/em>, Divinity: The Complete Trilogy<\/em>, and Star Trek: Waypoint<\/em>. Liana has worked on many comics, including Star Wars Adventures<\/em>, Razorblades<\/em>, East Side Saints<\/em>, She Said Destroy<\/em>, Joan Jett<\/em> and Devil\u2019s Dye<\/em>.<\/span>\n\nHi, Liana and Scott, it's so wonderful to have you both here with us today.<\/span><\/strong>\n\nLK:<\/strong> Thanks for having us! And may you have it the Burger Lord way!<\/span>\n\nCould you please introduce yourselves to our readers?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nLK:<\/strong> Hey there! I\u2019m Liana\u2014a full-time comic creator and artist. I\u2019ve drawn a ton of stuff, such as books like Star Wars Adventures<\/em>, Vault\u2019s She Said Destroy<\/em>, Razorblades<\/em>, Z2\u2019s Joan Jett<\/em> and The Black Hearts<\/em>, and, of course, TRVE KVLT<\/em>! I\u2019ve illustrated a ton of cover work for publishers like Vault, Image, Oni, IDW, and Ahoy. I\u2019ve also written or co-written stories like Seeds of Eden <\/em>for TKO, Dagger Dagger Vol 2<\/em>, and Deadbeats: London Calling<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nSBW:<\/strong> And I\u2019m Scott, and I write comics, including the Pennyworth <\/em>series and a bit of Batman<\/em> stuff for DC, Savage Tales<\/em>, Elvira, Altered Carbon<\/em> for Dynamite, plus work for Valiant, IDW, and lots of anthologies. Upcoming\u2014along with Trve Kvlt<\/em>\u2014is more from DC, more Savage Tales<\/em>, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves\u2019 InterWorld<\/em> for HarperCollins, as well as a bunch of unannounced stuff, including another creator-owned series.<\/span>\n\n\n\nScott, can you tell us about the origins of TRVE KVLT<\/em>?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\n\nSBW:<\/strong> In the early days of my career, when I was sitting around waiting for the phone to ring with work-for-hire jobs, I kept from going crazy by creating pitches. Most of them were awful, but this is one that just kept tugging at me. I love crime fiction and heist movies, and I wanted to do something like Heat<\/em> that had this big, exciting heist scene at its center. But heists have been done a million times, most of them way better than anything I could think of, so I started trying to think about what would be a \u201clittle\u201d heist that a normal person could get away with, and I thought about robbing a strip mall, store by store. I thought if you watched it all the time, you might find the rhythms and figure out how to do it if you timed it right. Who would watch a strip mall, though? Then I hit on the idea of someone at the ubiquitous fast food places that are always in strip mall parking lots, and I had it.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nLiana, when you first heard the pitch for TRVE KVLT, what did you think?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nLK:<\/strong> I think Scott is a genius and tends to dig into the things that most people often don\u2019t pay any attention to. He does it a lot with both foreshadowing, dialogue, minute details in environments that play to plot points, and so on. So, I absolutely dug it. My favorite movie is Ocean's 11<\/em>, which I had mentioned for the heist aspect alone, and when I read the pitch, I was like \u201cOh this is reminiscent of Fargo<\/em>, but a band of kids in real life.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\nHow would you describe TRVE KVLT<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nLK:<\/strong> TRVE KVLT is the one book you least expect\u2014and the one you will definitely want to read. (and certainly the one I wanted to create the most).<\/span>\n\nScott, what can you tell us about Marty?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nSBW:<\/strong> I always like fiction that has losers as main characters\u2014Jeff \u201cThe Dude\u201d Lebowski, George Costanza, etc\u2014and always wanted to really dig into that as a writer. Having people\u2019s flaws be central to their character but also keep them not only likable, but someone you actually root for, was something I wanted to explore. Our guy is a career fast-food employee who fully embraces his role at work and doesn\u2019t have many interests aside from hair metal and low-budget movies (which he enjoys non-ironically). We\u2019ve all worked with overenthusiastic people\u2014Marty is that overenthusiastic coworker whose excitement is only starting to fade, long after it\u2019s died out for everyone else.<\/span>\n\n\n\nLiana, has it been a challenge to create the world of TRVE KVLT<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nLK: I\u2019m lucky in that if I have any creative blocks or stumped on what to do in TRVE KVLT, I can pull from personal experiences, or ask anyone on the team what kind of input they\u2019d have. Our team (Jazzlyn, Gab, Jimmy, and DC) is just as excited about the book as Scott and I are. I mean, when else will I get to design the entire\u00a0 look and branding of fast food restaurants? This has been a labor of love and I think it shows in terms of world-building for sure.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nHow long have you been working on TRVE KVLT<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nSBW:<\/strong> Liana and I started emailing about the book in October 2018, but I\u2019d been working on the pitch since January 2017. So that puts it at 5.5 years from pitch to first issue being on comic shops\u2019 shelves. My pitch was rejected by a few publishers before Liana was on board, so I can\u2019t say enough about her partnership on this project and what she brings to the book\u2014it wouldn\u2019t exist without her.<\/span>\n\nLK: <\/strong>YOU ARE TOO KIND. Don\u2019t mess up the bun order.<\/span>\n\n\n\nHow important is preordering for any independent comic?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nLK:<\/strong> I used to work in a comic shop, so I am probably on a soap box here, but preordering any comic, specifically any series not Big 2, is going to need all of the support it can get in the direct market. Ordering often dictates printing numbers, so if you can preorder and call your shop up to try and get every issue available, it ensures you\u2019ve secured yourself a copy, as well as notifying the shop that this might be a good read for others as well and could entice them to order more copies. Single issue comics are a chaotic and perfect way to read comics in my opinion, but just know that a lot of work goes into that little issue from all of the creators to the incredible teams at the publisher that are hitting your shop\u2019s shelves every month. That one call or click to preorder could mean the world in terms of the success of any book.<\/span>\n\nScott, how did Gab Contreras, Jimmy Savage and DC Hopkins join the team?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nSBW:<\/strong> Jimmy and Gab had worked with Liana for a long time; I think I met both of them through this book. DC was someone I had worked with a lot on other projects and was my first choice on this one.<\/span>\n\n\n\nLiana, you are creating the art for the comic. What part of that process do you enjoy the most, penciling or inking?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nLK:<\/strong> A lot of my creator-owned books I actually pencil and ink at the same time since I work digitally for most of my interiors. (It\u2019s a lot of different layers and moving things around, probably a very weird thing to watch, I bet.) I personally love inking, though, because I get to, in this case for TRVE KVLT, shade a lot of shadows and pull some weird light tricks for Gab to play with, which is always fun. It seems to all come to life at the end with everyone\u2019s expressions and the weird details and logos I can put in for food, fast food interiors, etc.<\/span>\n\nHow did IDW get involved with TRVE KVLT<\/em>, and what made them the right publisher for TRVE KVLT<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nSBW:<\/strong> We originally published the first version of TRVE KVLT <\/em>through Kickstarter at the beginning of the pandemic; we\u2019d had some publishers interested, but when the pandemic hit, the industry was a mess for a while and we realized we didn\u2019t want to wait and just started making the book and doing it our way. Someone at IDW had seen the pre-pandemic pitch, and they got in touch with us the day we launched the Kickstarter. From those first text messages it felt like a great fit. IDW kept in touch with us over the year or so it took us to make and publish the first version of the book, and before we were done we had started talking contract terms. We were really excited because the Kickstarter saw issue 1 printed, and the rest digital, and people had been asking from the beginning for print issues, so this was our chance to get the book out in front of a huge audience\u2014in print, too\u2014from a company that really supported us and the book.<\/span>\n\nLK:<\/strong> All I have to say is, I adore IDW so much\u2014and this book has had such an incredible journey with them already and (as of right now when we say this) we\u2019re not even in print yet!\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\n\nAny message for the ComicBuzz readers?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nSBW:<\/strong> Keep reading comics.<\/span>\n\nLK: <\/strong>Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and pick up TRVE KVLT #1 on August 17!<\/span>\n\nA big thank you to Scott and Liana for chatting with us; we wish them and the rest of the team, the best of luck with TRVE KVLT.<\/span>","post_title":"ComicBuzz Chats With The Trve Kvlt Team","post_excerpt":"TRVE KVLT\u00a0#1","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"comicbuzz-chats-with-the-trve-kvlt-team","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-06 16:47:58","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-06 15:47:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207996","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":207956,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2022-08-02 17:00:07","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-02 16:00:07","post_content":"From New York Times<\/em> bestselling and Harvey award-winning graphic novelist Matt Kindt and Matt Lesniewski (Crimson Flower<\/em>) comes the next chapter in the conspiracy-laden and mind-twisting universe of Mind MGMT<\/em>.<\/span>\n\nThe former leader of Mind MGMT recruits a powerful new member to assemble a team of the most talented agents of all time to build the organization anew--taking our hero all the way from India to Japan to find these new mental soldiers and to compete against all the new threats since Mind MGMT went obsolete.<\/span>\n\n* Cover C variant is a special polybagged cover, drawn by Jim Rugg, and contains a special Mind MGMT<\/em> playing card!<\/span>\n

In early 2018, cartoonist Sofia Warren was not paying attention to New York state politics. But that summer, her Brooklyn neighborhood began buzzing about Julia Salazar, a 27-year-old democratic socialist running for State Senate whose grassroots campaign was inspiring an army of volunteers. When they beat the odds and won, Warren found herself wondering what would happen next. How does it work when an outsider who runs on revolutionary change has to actually do the job? So she decided to find out<\/span><\/p>\n

Radical: My Year with a Socialist Senator<\/em> is a remarkable graphic memoir of Warren\u2019s experience embedded with Julia Salazar and her staff during their first year in office. From candid conversations and eyewitness experiences, Warren builds a gripping and intimate portrait of a scrappy team of community organizers battling entrenched power structures, particularly to advance Julia\u2019s marquee issue: housing rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

At every key point during the year \u2014 setting up an office, navigating insider politics, public pushback, testy staff meetings, emotional speeches, protest marches, setbacks, and victories \u2014 Warren is up close and personal with Julia and her team, observing, questioning, and drawing, as they try to translate their ideals into concrete legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along the way, Warren works toward answers to deeper questions: what makes a good leader? What does it mean to be a part of a community? Can democracy work? How can everyday people make change happen?<\/span><\/p>\n

All these themes are explored \u2014 with nuance, compassion, and humor \u2014 in Sofia Warren's remarkable debut.<\/span><\/p>\n
