“There’s this one balloon where someone says ‘Can anyone hear me?’ And there’s a reply shot of [Supergirl] saying, ‘I can,’” Steve Orlando describes to me a pivotal page in Supergirl: Rebirth #1, which came out earlier in the week.

Siobhan Gallagher: Cartoonist and Author on the Rise

Original link, published August 6, 2016: http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2016/08/06/interview-cartoonist-upcoming-author-siobhan-gallagher/

I first met Siobhan Gallagher at this year’s MoCCA Festival. Among hundreds of exhibitors, it was her experimental drawing style and ironic witticisms that caught my eye. A former cover designer at Penguin Random House, Siobhan has self-published two full collections and several smaller art pamphlets since her graduation from NSCAD University in 2012. Her first book, a nonfiction project, is slated for publication by TarcherPerigee next year. I caught up with Siobhan to further explore how she sees the world and the ways that art can make you happier.

4 Kinds of Fandom

Original link, published July 30, 2016: http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2016/07/30/4-kinds-fandom/

In the English language, we have only one word for love. But we do accept that we feel many different kinds of love depending on its direction—religious love, familial love, friendly love, romantic love. Fandom, too, is a kind of love although it is often mistakenly spoken as if it is a monolith. Our love for movies, television shows, video games, and books takes many forms because media plays many roles in our lives.

Below are four kinds of fandom one person may experience, as they may experience relationships with people. Any of them sound familiar to you?

You may know Jeffrey Veregge from the covers of Marvel Comics’ Red Wolf title.

His first story, written by Paul Allor and about the S’Klallam tribe, will appear in the Past the Last Mountain collection. You can help fund Past the Last Mountain and earn a copy of Jeffrey’s story on Kickstarter.
