Before I start this review for Hunt. Kill. Repeat. #1<\/em>, I have a number of things I want to say; I have talked to Mark London several times via email, and I do talk to other members of the Mad Cave Studios team. I first; heard of Mad Cave Studios several years ago when the\u00a0Battlecats<\/em>\u00a0series had just come out. Since then, I have always heard positive things about this studio; I have read\u00a0Battlecats\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Wolvenheart<\/em>, also written by Mark London. Mark and the team and Mad Cave Studios did send us a box of physical goodies containing numerous comics, graphic novels and pins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Releasing on March 1st, Hunt. Kill. Repeat. #1<\/em> is the latest comic from Mark London, Francesco Archidiacono, Marc Deering, Lee Loughridge and Rus Wooton.\u00a0The synopsis for the comic reads:\u00a0When the Greek gods invade Earth, society is quickly forced to comply with their new rulers. However, one god, Artemis, rejects her brethren's ideology and has found solace in the love of a mortal. When she is called to Olympus to answer for her betrayal, the gods strip away her godly powers and leave her for dead. Now, ten years later, Artemis is on a quest for revenge to confront her father, Zeus, for taking away everything she ever loved.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I have to be honest. The first thing that I noticed was the cover by Salvador Larocca. It kind of reminds me of a Marvel comic cover. There; is a lot about this comic that gives me a Marvel comic vibe more, on that later. In terms of the first issue, it is 48 pages, and it's an action comic.\u00a0Mad Cave Studios describe it as\u00a0Kill Bill meets Clash of the Titans<\/em>\u00a0in the PR releases. I think that's spot on. Reading it, I enjoyed the whole package, the writing and the art.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In terms of the art, you can see the preview pages to see the comic in all of its glory there; is also a comic trailer if you want to check that out. In terms of writing as a first issue: it has everything a set-up, numerous characters, lots of action, intrigue and ends with a cliffhanger. We also have a female lead character in the mix. I do have to say I like the way Mark has written the character of Artemis. Sometimes when male writers have a female lead character, they can go over the top when writing her or somehow; the character can come off as unnatural. I do like what Mark has done here; it just feels natural.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Going back to the Marvel vibe earlier I was talking; about. It kind of has a Mark Millar Marvel action comic vibe to it, and I mean that positively. The art from Francesco Archidiacono and Marc Deering has a very Terry Dodson; type of vibe. I think Lee Loughridge's colouring compliments the art so well, It's just so pleasant to look at, and Rus Wooton has hit the ball out of the park.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I enjoyed the first issue as a debut for the series. It's great not sure what else you could ask for. I suppose the best compliment I can give it is; when I read the last page, I was disappointed the comic had finished and; I wanted to read the next issue. I do think that the first printing of this comic will sell out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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

Overall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Tyrone has written for the stage and the screen; he is currently a writer\/producer for ABC's Station 19.<\/span>\n\nHi Tyrone, thanks so much for being here with us today. We would like to congratulate you on your first graphic novel. Swine<\/em> is releasing on October 5th from Humanoids.<\/span>\n\n \n\nWho are your favourite comic creators?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nWow! That would be a very long list and the names on it change at least twice a month. I will say that Charles Schulz never drops below number three on that list. I\u2019m a fan of subtlety and he was masterful with it. You probably wanted me to name someone who\u2019s more associated with comic books. Oh! I\u2019ve been reading a lot of old Jack Kirby stuff lately. He also stays near the top of my list.<\/span>\n\n \n\nDo you have a favourite comic series or graphic novel?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nI\u2019ve been a Spider-Man fan since I was a kid. Maybe I\u2019m just being sentimental, but I think he will always be my favourite character. As for graphic novels, I know that George Takei\u2019s They Called Us Enemy<\/em> is a memoir, but it\u2019s easily one of the most moving things I\u2019ve read in the format.<\/span>\n\n\n\nCan you tell us about the history of Swine<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nHa! I\u2019m not sure that there\u2019s much history to share. I was having lunch with a couple of friends and somehow during the midst of a relatively normal conversation, I got this idea stuck in my head. Whenever that happens, I have to put the idea down on paper or it takes up valuable space in my brain that I desperately need for other things.<\/span>\n\n \n\nDid you conceive Swine<\/em> as a graphic novel?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nI thought of Swine <\/em>as a six-issue comic book or a graphic novel. I wasn\u2019t sure which would work best. After a few conversations with some experienced comic book writers, I decided a graphic novel would be the best way to go.<\/span>\n\n\n\nHow did Alain Mauricet join Swine<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nA few years ago, Mauricet and I worked together on a small project for AHOY Comics. When the folks at Humanoids asked if I had an artist in mind for Swine<\/em>, I immediately suggested Mauricet and they loved that idea.<\/span>\n\n \n\nWhat has it been like working with Alain Mauricet?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nIt\u2019s been great. I love his work. He\u2019s incredibly inventive and playful. Every panel is always much more fun than whatever I was picturing in my head. Receiving an email with new art from him would put me in a good mood that could last for days.<\/span>\n\n\n\nHow would you describe Swine<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nI think of Swine <\/em>as a love story. I know that sounds odd, but love or the loss of it is what truly motivates these characters and explains most of their behaviors. At least that\u2019s what I think. I\u2019m close to the story so maybe there\u2019s something going on there that my perspective doesn\u2019t allow me to see.<\/span>\n\n \n\nHow did the collaboration with Humanoids come about?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nI\u2019d been sitting on the idea for a while without any clue as to what I should do with it. It\u2019s an odd story and I thought it would just stay on my hard drive forever. A friend of mine suggested submitting it to Humanoids. They have a fairly easy submission process and I figured it was worth a shot.<\/span>\n\n\n\nWho suggested Lee Loughridge and DC Hopkins for Swine<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nHumanoids brought both of them to the party. Am I allowed to call it a party? I knew their work and I was very happy when I heard they were joining the team.<\/span>\n\n \n\nHow would you describe the process of creating a graphic novel?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nYikes! I would describe it as panic-inducing. This was my first graphic novel and I had a lot to learn. The biggest challenge for me was learning to control the space. When you\u2019ve got a limited number of panels to tell a story, you have to be economical with dialogue. I also didn\u2019t want to cover the outstanding art with a ton of exposition and unnecessary digressions. I spent a lot of time printing out pages and spreading them across my desk to make sure I had a decent handle on what I was doing. It was sort of like writing a script and managing real estate at the same time.<\/span>\n\n\n\nAny message for the ComicBuzz readers?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nYes! Thank you for making it to the end of this interview. I hope you have as much fun reading Swine<\/em> as we did making it. And support your local comic book stores whenever you can!<\/span>\n\nWe would like to say a big thank you to Tyrone and wish him and his team the best of luck with thier graphic novel.<\/span>\n\n \n\n \n\n <\/span>","post_title":"ComicBuzz Chats With Tyrone Finch","post_excerpt":"Swine","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"comicbuzz-chats-with-tyrone-finch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-07 23:35:36","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-07 22:35:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206979","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":182626,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2017-03-03 18:21:08","post_date_gmt":"2017-03-03 18:21:08","post_content":"Welcome to Briggs Land: nearly a hundred square miles of rural wilderness, representing the largest anti-government secessionist movement in the United States.
