MR MURDER: Quinaz Interviewed on Newsarama

| 0 Comments
Here's a new Vaneta Rogers interview on Newsarama with writer Victor Quinaz about his upcoming graphic novel collaboration with Before The Door and Archaia called "MR. MURDER IS DEAD".

Excerpt:

As Gould begins to investigate a murder, the reader will see flashbacks, but they will be told through the comic strip.

"The flashbacks will all be told through the point of view of the fictional character -- the meta-fictional character of The Spook, which is this long-running comic book character, since the 1950s, that was based on Gould Kane in his hey-day, when he was catching crooks and garnering the favor of the public," Quinaz said. 

"We have flashbacks that reflect different time periods in his life. So the '50s will have that real comic strip look, and then in the '60s, you'll start seeing mutton chops and a little more grit. The '70s will dive more into shadow, and the '80s will really get dark until finally, the '90s will be almost be an interpretation of the former Spook," he said.

McMillian speaks about Fangirls: Newsarama

Before The Door has its own in-house fangirl explorer - our comic book writer Michael McMillian.

Here's an article on Newsarama where Michael espouses on the rise of the fangirl. We promise that his comic book series that he's currently writing for Before The Door and Archaia will satisfy everyone, regardless of gender. 

Actor/writer Michael McMillian has seen more than one side of fandom, both in his role on the HBO vampire series "True Blood" and as part of the comics' community while writing the upcoming magic-based comic "Lucid" for publisher Archaia. 

McMillian pointed out that while female readers were the target of the Sookie Stackhouse book series on which "True Blood" is based, the television show has appealed to both sexes -- something he tends to think is possible for any good story. But he recognizes that while men and women may like the same stories, their attraction and response may be a little different.

"When someone's passionate about something, it tends to transcend gender lines. I loved Sean McKeever's run on 'Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane,'" the actor said of the teen-centered comic book, "but I'm pretty sure that wasn't written with me in mind. I do think, however, from watching my niece and nephew play 'Star Wars' together, guys still tend to be a bit more violent in their role-play, while girls seem to be drawn into interpersonal relations between characters."
