Yeah I can do that. My name is Peter Ricq and I was born in Montreal Quebec (french for Canada). My parents let me watch whatever I wanted and my dad even rented classics like Alien and Aliens \"You kids have to watch this\" when we were 7 or 8 and Predator or Robocop \"this looks sick, let's watch this tonight\". Obviously, he said these in french and so it sounded different. I didn't end up like a murderous crazy person and am very kind but I do love anything that has to do with murder, mysteries, the supernatural, science fiction and you can see that in my work. Here is what I do:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm a fine artist and have been active in the art scene since 2004 (PeterRicq.com)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm a filmmaker and have directed many music videos and made a horror\/comedy Dead Shack that is streaming exclusively on SHUDDER.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I've made 3 graphic novels 'Once Our Land 1&2' (Scout Comics) and A King's Vengeance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm in several bands HUMANS, Gang Signs, Ladyfrnd, The Red, Samatata.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I've created several animated television series like The League of Super Evil (Cartoon Network, YTV, BBC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm a very good vegan chef.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I love Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You are currently Kickstarting your first illustrated book, \"Ghosts Are People Too\". Which is currently going very strong over on Kickstarter (<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/peterricq\/ghost-are-people-too\">https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/peterricq\/ghost-are-people-too<\/a><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">). What keeps drawing you back to using this site, as this is your third time I believe in crowdfunding your books?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fourth time! Yeah, I love how the site makes it possible for entrepreneurs and artists to put their ideas out there, get the word out, find followers from around the world, and get the funding they seek so they don't sell their soul along with their baby. I think Kickstarter is one of the best things to come out for independent artists and entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-205513\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletoo1-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletoo1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So this book is about making friends with ghosts, and getting the message across that they are also scared of us that are living. Can you tell us about the origins of the book and if have you ever had an encounter of the spooky kind?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I kind of wish I did have an encounter but I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle it honestly. I think I'd be too scared and so I made this book to help myself with the idea to be less afraid of ghosts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The book idea came from seeing Edward Gorey's books in the bookstore and thinking \"Is this the only dope kids book here? Where are all the other morbid spooky books?\" So I figured, I can help put an end to this tragedy and give the kids in the world what they want and deserve, another great, morbid, funny, and fun kids book with wonderful illustrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-205510\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletooethan.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletooethan\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Which came first - the idea for the story or Ethan's' character?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The idea, as for Ethan, I wanted to his design to be contemporary like the Cartoon Network shows but I wanted the execution to be more like something out of an old book you would find in a haunted house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How long have you been working on \"Ghosts Are People Too\", and did the current global Coronavirus lockdown allow you to focus more on your work or did it restrict your creative thinking?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I've been thinking about this book for years but you could say that I've been working on this book my whole life since it takes everything I've developed since I started drawing and has put them together all into this one thing here. The pandemic has helped me see it to its completion though yes. I was scared, lost a ton of work and decided to finish this book as I wait for things to get better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-205512\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletoo2-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletoo2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have mentioned before that you enjoy the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman. Can you recall how you came across their works and which has been the most influential on your own style?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tim Burton's work, I don't like his newer stuff but I love and still rewatch in aw his older work. I think I saw all his films as they came out starting with Pee-Wee but Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Batman were my favorites and the art direction and vision in his films were just incredible. His work was so magical and it made me feel like anything is possible. I loved how he always had his monsters kind and not necessarily villains (Just like Guillermo Deltoro) and I wanted to do something in that vein with this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you are creating an illustration for this book, what is that process like and how long does it take? Did you research or have any source material that helped you develop the final character design for Ethan? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yeah, I use a ton of reference and with my photoshop wizard skillset, I manipulate the photos to make them look a bit more cartoony, like their shapes. I then draw my characters and sometimes use photography as a base too. I then print it, pencil it, then transfer the pencil to the illustration board and start inking a few lines but mostly do pointillism to give it that old-time look. It might sound like it's a long process and it is but I get to relax when doing this and listen to great podcasts, audiobooks, TV shows, and youtube videos. I learned a lot about the world and history while working on this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-205511\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletoocover.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletoocover\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How would you describe the look of the book?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I would say it's a more contemporary\/cartoony version of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton's work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thank you very much for your time Peter, it was a pleasure getting to interview you.

However, Sean and Tony take the opportunity to talk about comics again, and cover the books they loved. So what made our lists? And what\u2019s on yours?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This year saw a shift in the comic industry. While the \u201cBig Guys\u201d sync their characters up with their cinematic counterparts, many readers looked to smaller publishers for more heartfelt stories. We actually struggled, not in preparing this list, but in explaining the somewhat intangible reasons we loved these books so much. It isn\u2019t some bombastic event, cliffhanger or character choice, but instead, comic creators just unleashing their skill and obvious love of this medium. The theme running through these titles we\u2019ll discuss is that each looks at aspects of our humanity against the backdrop of the fantastic only comic books can provide. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192658\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/batman37.jpg\" alt=\"batman37\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Batman by Tom King, David Finch, Mikel Janin, Clay Mann, Joelle Jones and co.<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tom King\u2019s run on Batman started with a bit of a stumble in my opinion, with the opening arc, I am Gotham. However, by issue #6, it took a leap, and hasn\u2019t touched the ground since. In 2017 though, King and his regular rotation of artists stepped it up, starting with the Batman\/Catwoman 2-parter Rooftops, segueing into I Am Bane, the Flash crossover The Button, THEN following that with two massively powerful one-offs, and then the absolutely fantastic War of Jokes and Riddles. That doesn\u2019t even get us to the end of the year, and yet it\u2019s an AMAZING body of work.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The series\u2019 strength has been in its portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman as a very human being. I am Bane was all about Batman nearly getting himself killed just to save one vastly important life. The Brave and the Mold was about grief and coping with loss. The War of Jokes and Riddles drove Batman to the brink, and one of his worst enemies prevented him from going over the edge.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Couple all of that with the convincing revival of the love story between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, Batman spent the year transitioning from must-read to top-of-the-pile, all while maintaining an unbelievable standard of quality. There\u2019s no doubt that this is the best ongoing comic being produced by the Big Two.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186483\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/MMIR_Cv1_var.jpg\" alt=\"MMIR_Cv1_var\" width=\"800\" height=\"1229\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mister Miracle by King and Mitch Gerads<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And while we\u2019re on the topic of Tom King and Mitch Gerads, the two frequent collaborators joined in DC\u2019s year-long celebration of Jack Kirby\u2019s birthday with this twelve part series focusing on the most heroic of the King\u2019s DC creations. The duo, using the infamous nine-panel grid that King wrote to great effect in Omega Men, weave a tale about Scott Free attempting to escape for the last time from everything that has made his life a living hell.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The series opens with a suicide attempt. It continues with the assassination of Scott\u2019s father, a brutal war between New Genesis and Apokalips, Orion\u2019s brutal rule as the new Highfather, and a trial set in an Earth-bound living room, all with two words hanging in the air over each moment. Through it all, King writes a brilliant character piece with Scott\u2019s depression at the center, but also the loving and very realistic relationship with Barda.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This wouldn\u2019t be the book it is without Mitch Gerads\u2019 art though. His facial expressions are top notch. His action is exceptional. And his capability to build dread throughout has sold that feeling each and every issue, whether it\u2019s static turning a talk-show host into a Lovecraftian horror, a train devastating the crate Scott just disappeared into, or the entire trial\u2026<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s an exceptional book that will be talked about for years, if not decades, to come.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Darkseid<\/em> is.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192268\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/captainamerica696.jpg\" alt=\"captainamerica696\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Captain America by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It seems cheap to include a series that\u2019s only released two issues this year, but what issues are they. After the tough year Captain America had, what with becoming a NAZI and all, there were rumblings that Steve Rogers might be a toxic character for a little while. Then Marvel announced that their best creative duo- Waid and Samnee- were taking the title, and fandom breathed a sigh of relief.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The anticipation and relief was quickly justified. Waid and Samnee immediately took Steve Rogers back to basics, with him doubting his place in the world, but not his role. This is captured quickly as Steve proves himself as a hero for the common man, and states that it\u2019s important for those with power to protect the weak and not take advantage. Also, importantly, he almost immediately begins punching Nazis.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As I said, it\u2019s only been a couple issues, and the lingering effects of Marvel\u2019s Secret Empire will hang over the title for months if not years, but as long as this duo are the ones trying to get rid them, we\u2019ll continue to love it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192659\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thedefenders8.jpg\" alt=\"thedefenders8\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Defenders by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s be frank- the worst thing about this series is that it took Marvel SO DAMN LONG to realize it should happen.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With the launch of the Netflix project of the same name, Marvel united the four series leads- Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist- with the scribe responsible (wholly or in part) for each of their modern prominence- Brian Michael Bendis- and his longtime artistic collaborator David Marquez. What emerged was creative dynamite, with the quartet trying to stop a gang war before it spilled into the streets of New York. It\u2019s been tense, action packed, and thrilling. The fight between Iron Fist and Elektra from issue #7 is probably the best fight sequence of the year, and the series has been full of amazing moments like that.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bendis\u2019 story is wrapping up early next year, in anticipation of his move to DC. That means the fate of the series is a bit up in the air, but hopefully that just means that a new creative team is in the wings to continue the team\u2019s adventures. Even if not though, at least we\u2019ll have ten nearly perfect issues to treasure for years to come.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-191504\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/bloodshotsalvation3.jpg\" alt=\"bloodshotsalvation3\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bloodshot Salvation by Jeff Lemire, Mico Suayan, Lewis Larosa<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Anyone who told me a few years ago that Valiant\u2019s best series would star their Wolverine\/ Punisher pastiche would have elicited a laugh. I mean, Bloodshot was a character so entrenched in the decade of grim and gritty that elevating the concept seemed damn near impossible. In this follow up to Lemire\u2019s Bloodshot Reborn, we find Bloodshot trying to reclaim some semblance of normalcy as Ray Garrison with his new wife and daughter. As things often do in comics, things start to go wrong, and it all centers on the past- one part Magic\u2019s past, one part Ray\u2019s. It comes to an explosive and bloody collision at the end of #3, with Bloodshot\u2019s nanites deactivated mid-fight.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, a mysterious second storyline set in the future has revealed Ray has died in the meantime\u2026 or has he? While Ray\u2019s family and friends try to discover where he is, they\u2019re hunted by the mysterious Rampage, who\u2019s essentially a reverse Bloodshot.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s incredibly tense and well written spy adventures, and it all looks amazing. Suayan and Larosa are complementary in style, but different enough to make the two time periods very distinct.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s a great looking book, and proof that fantastic superhero books don\u2019t just come from Marvel and DC.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192748\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/harrowcounty28.jpg\" alt=\"harrowcounty28\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Harrow County by Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sorry Robert Kirkman, but the best ongoing horror comic book is hands down this Southern Gothic series by Bunn and Crook. The duo continued to build their horrifying world by putting their protagonist Emmy in a new headspace and bringing back her wicked sister Kammi. The story also brought back Bernice and made the young woman infinitely more interesting with her new witch hunter role.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Crook\u2019s art is perhaps the most under-appreciated in comics. The linework is expressive and cartoony. It conveys the horror of the situation wonderfully. Then you add Crook\u2019s painted colors, which elevates the series to completely new level, with pages that feel more like fine art.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s the whole package and a wonderful series for anyone.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186687\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/godcountrytp.jpg\" alt=\"godcountrytp\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> God Country by Donny Cates & Geoff Shaw<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A small Texas town is rocked by a strange storm that drops a giant, magical sword on the home of the Quinlans, a family already being torn apart by their father\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s. Wielding the sword restores Emmett\u2019s memory, but the family\u2019s reunion is quickly interrupted by the arrival of a race of Kirby-esque space gods who mean to return the sword to their king.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">God Country has amazing action and visuals, but is a story about letting go at its heart. All the characters are unwilling to give up the life they\u2019ve known, even when the universe is literally pulling them from it. Shaw\u2019s art is sharp and gritty, but still manages to capture the heartfelt moments amazingly well. Only six short issues, this is tightly written series that reads fast, leaving the reader wanting more in the best way.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-184108\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/joyride12.jpg\" alt=\"joyride12\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Joyride by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly & Marcus To<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Joyride, from Boom Studios, started as a four issue miniseries that was later expanded into a 12 issue limited series. Centering around a cobbled-together group of misfits that were all looking for a different path in life, and in the universe, than what was forced upon them. This journey takes them into deep space, away from an Earth that has succumb to such ravenous xenophobia they\u2019ve constructed an impenetrable shield around the planet, and cut themselves off from the galactic community.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What I enjoyed about this book was how it skillfully handled family dynamics, personal identity and love. These elements took this high concept space opera and kept it remarkably grounded. There really is a little something in here for everyone. I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention Marcus To\u2019s beautiful artwork. Whether by design or not, I see a touch of Akira-creator Otomo\u2019s style in his work, and the vivid colors make this book jump off the shelf.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-183165\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blackhammervol1.jpg\" alt=\"blackhammervol1\" width=\"600\" height=\"923\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Black Hammer by Jeff Lemire & Dean Ormston<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Mysteriously exiled after a cataclysmic battle with the Anti-God, the champions of Spiral City must figure out life in a small town which has become their prison.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jeff Lemire has created his own superhero universe in the Black Hammer. Though the characters are mostly proxies for established characters, here Lemire is untethered by editorial and canonical mandates. While each character is seen as a hero in the public eye, they\u2019re all dealing with some dark secret or insecurity that makes their stories so much more interesting. We don\u2019t know much about the titular Black Hammer, but with the introduction of his daughter, who finds a way to the pocket dimension while searching for him, we learn more about the deceased hero, and what might have brought our heroes to this town.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not so dissimilar to Lemire\u2019s own artstyle, Ormston is a great fit on this book. A little bit of weird and awkward caters to the overall feel of the story, and Dave Stewart\u2019s muted palette has the look of a watercolored storybook.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192349\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/extremity9.jpg\" alt=\"extremity9\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Extremity by Daniel Warren Johnson<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Extremity takes place in the future after an unknown event destroyed the Earth, sending pieces of the land floating skyward, and what\u2019s left of humanity has broken into warring clans. Our protagonists, a pair of siblings from the Roto clan, are the children of their leader who seeks to destroy the Paznina clan. Within the family, each has a drastically different point-of-view when it comes to the life of constant war. This internal struggle takes them to the far reaches of the floating plains, and eventually down to the destroyed planet seeking an end to the war.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Johnson has made a truly unique and cohesive book with Extremity. He blends fantasy and sci-fi wonderfully, giving everything from dragon-mounted warriors to indestructible androids, all brought to life in his wispy art style.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-185668\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/slots1.jpg\" alt=\"slots1\" width=\"781\" height=\"1200\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Honorable Mentions (Sean)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> I tried to highlight some of the lesser-known titles of 2017, but I\u2019m still enjoying some of the, longer, ongoing series like <strong>Deadly Class<\/strong>, <strong>Saga<\/strong>, <strong>East of West<\/strong>, <strong>Descender<\/strong>, <strong>Southern Bastards<\/strong> and<strong> Black Science<\/strong>. There\u2019s also been a few new series like <strong>Punisher: The Platoon<\/strong>, <strong>Slots<\/strong> and <strong>Godshaper<\/strong> that are incredible books, but are still in their infancy, so we\u2019ll just have to wait and see how they turn out. There\u2019s already been some interesting books announced for 2018, so watch the shelves and try new books, you might find your next must-read when you least expect it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186435\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/mechcadetyu1.jpg\" alt=\"mechcadetyu1\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Honorable Mentions (Tony)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kyle Higgins and company\u2019s work on <strong>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers<\/strong> deserves a mention simply for elevating the concept into a great superhero action movie. <strong>Mech Cadet Yu<\/strong> from Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa was one of the funnest sci-fi launches of the year. Dan Slott and Mike Allred wrapped their fabulous<strong> Silver Surfer<\/strong> run, with a series that I hope is regarded as the character\u2019s best for generations as it deserves. Donny Cates and Gabriel Walta\u2019s <strong>Doctor Strange<\/strong> is just getting started but I have a feeling it\u2019s another that will be talked about for years. Charles Soule has had a stellar year with three wonderful buzzworthy books- <strong>Astonishing X-Men<\/strong> with rotating artists, <strong>Darth Vader<\/strong> with Giuseppe Camuncoli, and <strong>Curse Words<\/strong> with Ryan Browne. Gail Simone and Cat Staggs launched one of the best crime books in years with Crosswind and I can\u2019t wait for more of that. And in a year that was defined by event fatigue at the Big Two, I definitely think <strong>Dark Nights: Metal<\/strong> was a great rush, and a better event than anything we\u2019ve gotten from the Big Two in a long time.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186758\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DNMETAL_Cv1_ds-1.jpg\" alt=\"DNMETAL_Cv1_ds-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"1229\" \/>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sean M.

Yeah I can do that. My name is Peter Ricq and I was born in Montreal Quebec (french for Canada). My parents let me watch whatever I wanted and my dad even rented classics like Alien and Aliens \"You kids have to watch this\" when we were 7 or 8 and Predator or Robocop \"this looks sick, let's watch this tonight\". Obviously, he said these in french and so it sounded different. I didn't end up like a murderous crazy person and am very kind but I do love anything that has to do with murder, mysteries, the supernatural, science fiction and you can see that in my work. Here is what I do:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm a fine artist and have been active in the art scene since 2004 (PeterRicq.com)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm a filmmaker and have directed many music videos and made a horror\/comedy Dead Shack that is streaming exclusively on SHUDDER.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I've made 3 graphic novels 'Once Our Land 1&2' (Scout Comics) and A King's Vengeance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm in several bands HUMANS, Gang Signs, Ladyfrnd, The Red, Samatata.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I've created several animated television series like The League of Super Evil (Cartoon Network, YTV, BBC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I'm a very good vegan chef.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">- I love Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You are currently Kickstarting your first illustrated book, \"Ghosts Are People Too\". Which is currently going very strong over on Kickstarter (<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/peterricq\/ghost-are-people-too\">https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/peterricq\/ghost-are-people-too<\/a><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">). What keeps drawing you back to using this site, as this is your third time I believe in crowdfunding your books?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fourth time! Yeah, I love how the site makes it possible for entrepreneurs and artists to put their ideas out there, get the word out, find followers from around the world, and get the funding they seek so they don't sell their soul along with their baby. I think Kickstarter is one of the best things to come out for independent artists and entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-205513\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletoo1-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletoo1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So this book is about making friends with ghosts, and getting the message across that they are also scared of us that are living. Can you tell us about the origins of the book and if have you ever had an encounter of the spooky kind?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I kind of wish I did have an encounter but I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle it honestly. I think I'd be too scared and so I made this book to help myself with the idea to be less afraid of ghosts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The book idea came from seeing Edward Gorey's books in the bookstore and thinking \"Is this the only dope kids book here? Where are all the other morbid spooky books?\" So I figured, I can help put an end to this tragedy and give the kids in the world what they want and deserve, another great, morbid, funny, and fun kids book with wonderful illustrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-205510\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletooethan.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletooethan\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Which came first - the idea for the story or Ethan's' character?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The idea, as for Ethan, I wanted to his design to be contemporary like the Cartoon Network shows but I wanted the execution to be more like something out of an old book you would find in a haunted house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How long have you been working on \"Ghosts Are People Too\", and did the current global Coronavirus lockdown allow you to focus more on your work or did it restrict your creative thinking?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I've been thinking about this book for years but you could say that I've been working on this book my whole life since it takes everything I've developed since I started drawing and has put them together all into this one thing here. The pandemic has helped me see it to its completion though yes. I was scared, lost a ton of work and decided to finish this book as I wait for things to get better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-205512\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletoo2-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletoo2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have mentioned before that you enjoy the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman. Can you recall how you came across their works and which has been the most influential on your own style?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tim Burton's work, I don't like his newer stuff but I love and still rewatch in aw his older work. I think I saw all his films as they came out starting with Pee-Wee but Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Batman were my favorites and the art direction and vision in his films were just incredible. His work was so magical and it made me feel like anything is possible. I loved how he always had his monsters kind and not necessarily villains (Just like Guillermo Deltoro) and I wanted to do something in that vein with this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you are creating an illustration for this book, what is that process like and how long does it take? Did you research or have any source material that helped you develop the final character design for Ethan? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yeah, I use a ton of reference and with my photoshop wizard skillset, I manipulate the photos to make them look a bit more cartoony, like their shapes. I then draw my characters and sometimes use photography as a base too. I then print it, pencil it, then transfer the pencil to the illustration board and start inking a few lines but mostly do pointillism to give it that old-time look. It might sound like it's a long process and it is but I get to relax when doing this and listen to great podcasts, audiobooks, TV shows, and youtube videos. I learned a lot about the world and history while working on this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-205511\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ghostsarepeopletoocover.jpg\" alt=\"ghostsarepeopletoocover\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How would you describe the look of the book?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I would say it's a more contemporary\/cartoony version of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton's work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thank you very much for your time Peter, it was a pleasure getting to interview you. Have you any message for our ComicBuzz readers that will be reading this right now?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be afraid, be very afraid MUHAHAHAhahahaaaaaaa.

However, Sean and Tony take the opportunity to talk about comics again, and cover the books they loved. So what made our lists? And what\u2019s on yours?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This year saw a shift in the comic industry. While the \u201cBig Guys\u201d sync their characters up with their cinematic counterparts, many readers looked to smaller publishers for more heartfelt stories. We actually struggled, not in preparing this list, but in explaining the somewhat intangible reasons we loved these books so much. It isn\u2019t some bombastic event, cliffhanger or character choice, but instead, comic creators just unleashing their skill and obvious love of this medium. The theme running through these titles we\u2019ll discuss is that each looks at aspects of our humanity against the backdrop of the fantastic only comic books can provide. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192658\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/batman37.jpg\" alt=\"batman37\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Batman by Tom King, David Finch, Mikel Janin, Clay Mann, Joelle Jones and co.<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tom King\u2019s run on Batman started with a bit of a stumble in my opinion, with the opening arc, I am Gotham. However, by issue #6, it took a leap, and hasn\u2019t touched the ground since. In 2017 though, King and his regular rotation of artists stepped it up, starting with the Batman\/Catwoman 2-parter Rooftops, segueing into I Am Bane, the Flash crossover The Button, THEN following that with two massively powerful one-offs, and then the absolutely fantastic War of Jokes and Riddles. That doesn\u2019t even get us to the end of the year, and yet it\u2019s an AMAZING body of work.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The series\u2019 strength has been in its portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman as a very human being. I am Bane was all about Batman nearly getting himself killed just to save one vastly important life. The Brave and the Mold was about grief and coping with loss. The War of Jokes and Riddles drove Batman to the brink, and one of his worst enemies prevented him from going over the edge.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Couple all of that with the convincing revival of the love story between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, Batman spent the year transitioning from must-read to top-of-the-pile, all while maintaining an unbelievable standard of quality. There\u2019s no doubt that this is the best ongoing comic being produced by the Big Two.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186483\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/MMIR_Cv1_var.jpg\" alt=\"MMIR_Cv1_var\" width=\"800\" height=\"1229\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mister Miracle by King and Mitch Gerads<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">And while we\u2019re on the topic of Tom King and Mitch Gerads, the two frequent collaborators joined in DC\u2019s year-long celebration of Jack Kirby\u2019s birthday with this twelve part series focusing on the most heroic of the King\u2019s DC creations. The duo, using the infamous nine-panel grid that King wrote to great effect in Omega Men, weave a tale about Scott Free attempting to escape for the last time from everything that has made his life a living hell.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The series opens with a suicide attempt. It continues with the assassination of Scott\u2019s father, a brutal war between New Genesis and Apokalips, Orion\u2019s brutal rule as the new Highfather, and a trial set in an Earth-bound living room, all with two words hanging in the air over each moment. Through it all, King writes a brilliant character piece with Scott\u2019s depression at the center, but also the loving and very realistic relationship with Barda.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This wouldn\u2019t be the book it is without Mitch Gerads\u2019 art though. His facial expressions are top notch. His action is exceptional. And his capability to build dread throughout has sold that feeling each and every issue, whether it\u2019s static turning a talk-show host into a Lovecraftian horror, a train devastating the crate Scott just disappeared into, or the entire trial\u2026<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s an exceptional book that will be talked about for years, if not decades, to come.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Darkseid<\/em> is.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192268\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/captainamerica696.jpg\" alt=\"captainamerica696\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Captain America by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It seems cheap to include a series that\u2019s only released two issues this year, but what issues are they. After the tough year Captain America had, what with becoming a NAZI and all, there were rumblings that Steve Rogers might be a toxic character for a little while. Then Marvel announced that their best creative duo- Waid and Samnee- were taking the title, and fandom breathed a sigh of relief.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The anticipation and relief was quickly justified. Waid and Samnee immediately took Steve Rogers back to basics, with him doubting his place in the world, but not his role. This is captured quickly as Steve proves himself as a hero for the common man, and states that it\u2019s important for those with power to protect the weak and not take advantage. Also, importantly, he almost immediately begins punching Nazis.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As I said, it\u2019s only been a couple issues, and the lingering effects of Marvel\u2019s Secret Empire will hang over the title for months if not years, but as long as this duo are the ones trying to get rid them, we\u2019ll continue to love it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192659\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thedefenders8.jpg\" alt=\"thedefenders8\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Defenders by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s be frank- the worst thing about this series is that it took Marvel SO DAMN LONG to realize it should happen.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With the launch of the Netflix project of the same name, Marvel united the four series leads- Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist- with the scribe responsible (wholly or in part) for each of their modern prominence- Brian Michael Bendis- and his longtime artistic collaborator David Marquez. What emerged was creative dynamite, with the quartet trying to stop a gang war before it spilled into the streets of New York. It\u2019s been tense, action packed, and thrilling. The fight between Iron Fist and Elektra from issue #7 is probably the best fight sequence of the year, and the series has been full of amazing moments like that.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bendis\u2019 story is wrapping up early next year, in anticipation of his move to DC. That means the fate of the series is a bit up in the air, but hopefully that just means that a new creative team is in the wings to continue the team\u2019s adventures. Even if not though, at least we\u2019ll have ten nearly perfect issues to treasure for years to come.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-191504\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/bloodshotsalvation3.jpg\" alt=\"bloodshotsalvation3\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bloodshot Salvation by Jeff Lemire, Mico Suayan, Lewis Larosa<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Anyone who told me a few years ago that Valiant\u2019s best series would star their Wolverine\/ Punisher pastiche would have elicited a laugh. I mean, Bloodshot was a character so entrenched in the decade of grim and gritty that elevating the concept seemed damn near impossible. In this follow up to Lemire\u2019s Bloodshot Reborn, we find Bloodshot trying to reclaim some semblance of normalcy as Ray Garrison with his new wife and daughter. As things often do in comics, things start to go wrong, and it all centers on the past- one part Magic\u2019s past, one part Ray\u2019s. It comes to an explosive and bloody collision at the end of #3, with Bloodshot\u2019s nanites deactivated mid-fight.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, a mysterious second storyline set in the future has revealed Ray has died in the meantime\u2026 or has he? While Ray\u2019s family and friends try to discover where he is, they\u2019re hunted by the mysterious Rampage, who\u2019s essentially a reverse Bloodshot.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s incredibly tense and well written spy adventures, and it all looks amazing. Suayan and Larosa are complementary in style, but different enough to make the two time periods very distinct.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s a great looking book, and proof that fantastic superhero books don\u2019t just come from Marvel and DC.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192748\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/harrowcounty28.jpg\" alt=\"harrowcounty28\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Harrow County by Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sorry Robert Kirkman, but the best ongoing horror comic book is hands down this Southern Gothic series by Bunn and Crook. The duo continued to build their horrifying world by putting their protagonist Emmy in a new headspace and bringing back her wicked sister Kammi. The story also brought back Bernice and made the young woman infinitely more interesting with her new witch hunter role.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Crook\u2019s art is perhaps the most under-appreciated in comics. The linework is expressive and cartoony. It conveys the horror of the situation wonderfully. Then you add Crook\u2019s painted colors, which elevates the series to completely new level, with pages that feel more like fine art.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s the whole package and a wonderful series for anyone.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186687\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/godcountrytp.jpg\" alt=\"godcountrytp\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> God Country by Donny Cates & Geoff Shaw<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A small Texas town is rocked by a strange storm that drops a giant, magical sword on the home of the Quinlans, a family already being torn apart by their father\u2019s Alzheimer\u2019s. Wielding the sword restores Emmett\u2019s memory, but the family\u2019s reunion is quickly interrupted by the arrival of a race of Kirby-esque space gods who mean to return the sword to their king.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">God Country has amazing action and visuals, but is a story about letting go at its heart. All the characters are unwilling to give up the life they\u2019ve known, even when the universe is literally pulling them from it. Shaw\u2019s art is sharp and gritty, but still manages to capture the heartfelt moments amazingly well. Only six short issues, this is tightly written series that reads fast, leaving the reader wanting more in the best way.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-184108\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/joyride12.jpg\" alt=\"joyride12\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Joyride by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly & Marcus To<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Joyride, from Boom Studios, started as a four issue miniseries that was later expanded into a 12 issue limited series. Centering around a cobbled-together group of misfits that were all looking for a different path in life, and in the universe, than what was forced upon them. This journey takes them into deep space, away from an Earth that has succumb to such ravenous xenophobia they\u2019ve constructed an impenetrable shield around the planet, and cut themselves off from the galactic community.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What I enjoyed about this book was how it skillfully handled family dynamics, personal identity and love. These elements took this high concept space opera and kept it remarkably grounded. There really is a little something in here for everyone. I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention Marcus To\u2019s beautiful artwork. Whether by design or not, I see a touch of Akira-creator Otomo\u2019s style in his work, and the vivid colors make this book jump off the shelf.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-183165\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blackhammervol1.jpg\" alt=\"blackhammervol1\" width=\"600\" height=\"923\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Black Hammer by Jeff Lemire & Dean Ormston<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Mysteriously exiled after a cataclysmic battle with the Anti-God, the champions of Spiral City must figure out life in a small town which has become their prison.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jeff Lemire has created his own superhero universe in the Black Hammer. Though the characters are mostly proxies for established characters, here Lemire is untethered by editorial and canonical mandates. While each character is seen as a hero in the public eye, they\u2019re all dealing with some dark secret or insecurity that makes their stories so much more interesting. We don\u2019t know much about the titular Black Hammer, but with the introduction of his daughter, who finds a way to the pocket dimension while searching for him, we learn more about the deceased hero, and what might have brought our heroes to this town.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not so dissimilar to Lemire\u2019s own artstyle, Ormston is a great fit on this book. A little bit of weird and awkward caters to the overall feel of the story, and Dave Stewart\u2019s muted palette has the look of a watercolored storybook.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-192349\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/extremity9.jpg\" alt=\"extremity9\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Extremity by Daniel Warren Johnson<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Extremity takes place in the future after an unknown event destroyed the Earth, sending pieces of the land floating skyward, and what\u2019s left of humanity has broken into warring clans. Our protagonists, a pair of siblings from the Roto clan, are the children of their leader who seeks to destroy the Paznina clan. Within the family, each has a drastically different point-of-view when it comes to the life of constant war. This internal struggle takes them to the far reaches of the floating plains, and eventually down to the destroyed planet seeking an end to the war.<\/span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Johnson has made a truly unique and cohesive book with Extremity. He blends fantasy and sci-fi wonderfully, giving everything from dragon-mounted warriors to indestructible androids, all brought to life in his wispy art style.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-185668\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/slots1.jpg\" alt=\"slots1\" width=\"781\" height=\"1200\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Honorable Mentions (Sean)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> I tried to highlight some of the lesser-known titles of 2017, but I\u2019m still enjoying some of the, longer, ongoing series like <strong>Deadly Class<\/strong>, <strong>Saga<\/strong>, <strong>East of West<\/strong>, <strong>Descender<\/strong>, <strong>Southern Bastards<\/strong> and<strong> Black Science<\/strong>. There\u2019s also been a few new series like <strong>Punisher: The Platoon<\/strong>, <strong>Slots<\/strong> and <strong>Godshaper<\/strong> that are incredible books, but are still in their infancy, so we\u2019ll just have to wait and see how they turn out. There\u2019s already been some interesting books announced for 2018, so watch the shelves and try new books, you might find your next must-read when you least expect it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186435\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/mechcadetyu1.jpg\" alt=\"mechcadetyu1\" width=\"800\" height=\"1230\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Honorable Mentions (Tony)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kyle Higgins and company\u2019s work on <strong>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers<\/strong> deserves a mention simply for elevating the concept into a great superhero action movie. <strong>Mech Cadet Yu<\/strong> from Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa was one of the funnest sci-fi launches of the year. Dan Slott and Mike Allred wrapped their fabulous<strong> Silver Surfer<\/strong> run, with a series that I hope is regarded as the character\u2019s best for generations as it deserves. Donny Cates and Gabriel Walta\u2019s <strong>Doctor Strange<\/strong> is just getting started but I have a feeling it\u2019s another that will be talked about for years. Charles Soule has had a stellar year with three wonderful buzzworthy books- <strong>Astonishing X-Men<\/strong> with rotating artists, <strong>Darth Vader<\/strong> with Giuseppe Camuncoli, and <strong>Curse Words<\/strong> with Ryan Browne. Gail Simone and Cat Staggs launched one of the best crime books in years with Crosswind and I can\u2019t wait for more of that. And in a year that was defined by event fatigue at the Big Two, I definitely think <strong>Dark Nights: Metal<\/strong> was a great rush, and a better event than anything we\u2019ve gotten from the Big Two in a long time.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-186758\" src=\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DNMETAL_Cv1_ds-1.jpg\" alt=\"DNMETAL_Cv1_ds-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"1229\" \/>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sean M.
