Don Kramer only drew a portion of this week's Batman: Battle for the Cowl The Network, because time crunches prevented him from doing more. Kramer told THE PULSE, "Over the holidays, I fell behind on the last Nightwing issue which threw all the plans for me on Battle for the Cowl and Oracle out of whack. It was like a domino effect." The artist talks candidly with us about juggling projects, working on only a portion of an issue and more in the first of a two-part interview ....
The Tony Award winning Victor Garber talks about playing one of the biggest thorns in Green Lantern's side, Sinestro. Garber voices the villain in the upcoming Green Lantern: First Flight. Garber said, "This is very different from anything I've done on television or even on stage. But my job as an actor is to imbue it with some sort of authenticity and truth – to make it believable. I didn’t pull anything for Sinestro from any specific character I’ve played in the past. They're all different."
A man who forged a check to get a copy of Amazing Spider-Man # 2 from Graham Cracker Comics was sentenced to seven years in prison.
After novelist Scott Snyder wrote The 13th Egg, a WWII story about a man who acquires strange abilities after the Bikini Island bomb tests, he was asked by Marvel Comics to pitch a few ideas for their characters. After a pitch that examined some supporting Marvel players, the House of Ideas asked the scribe if he might be interested in taking on the Golden Age Human Torch. Snyder said he "jumped" at the chance to take on this icon in the pages of Marvel's 70th Anniversary Special The Human Torch Comics. Snyder told THE PULSE, "I'm fascinated by this idea that he's a robot beneath the human skin, like some kind of android Frankenstein."
When Scott Cohn mentioned he wanted to draw a werewolf, it didn't take scribe Mike Raicht long to fit one into the latest Army Of Darkness saga. Cohn's having a great time drawing this creature of the night and pitting it against Ash. But that's just one of the reasons Cohn's spending time with the Chosen One. He told THE PULSE this latest arc sees Ash travel seven continents and meet more members of the mysterious League of Light. Cohn teased, "Of course, it takes a pretty big crisis for them to team up. What that crisis is, is something we are going to be exploring in the next six issues or so."
It's almost Mother's Day and thinking about the qualities I admire the most in my own mother, Peggy, made me think about some of the factors that made each of the following women the top five superhero related comic book mother figures in my opinion. Find out if any of your favorites made the my top five, and feel free to add others who you think should have at least been in the running.
