AM 650 CKOM published an article featuring Riley Rossmo. While attending the recent Word on the Street Festival in Calgary, Riley was asked about how he got started in the business. He said: “I always drew — on everything, all the time…Not that I’m super smart or anything, but I’d be sitting through math class like, ‘I do not relate to this, but I’ll draw dragons all over this thing…I always had a deep love of comics, but at the time, I still hadn’t put together that I (was going) to make comics. I was going to go to school and maybe find some way to make a living doing storyboards or commercial art or something.” You can read more at CKOM.com

ComicBook.com offered an exclusive first look at the Black Hammer/Justice League: Hammer of Justice issue #1 accompanied by an interview with author Jeff Lemire and artist Michael Walsh. When asked about working with Michael, Jeff said: “It’s been a great fit, and it’s been nice to get to know Michael, even more, working on a project…It’s so fun seeing him not only draw the DC characters for the first time, a lot of them, but to see him draw the Black Hammer characters as well for the first time. It’s been really fun.”
