Here’s some of the current news about Canadian comic book creators and supporters.
Marvel interviewed Jim Zub about his work on the upcoming Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda. When asked about the challenges the heroes will face, Jim said: “The Marvel Universe is a wonderfully warped creation, filled with crazy combinations and endless potential. I love playing in this sandbox, taking esoteric pieces from past stories and tilting them in a new direction or attaching new ideas to old engines and watching them roar to life.”

Refinery29 interviewed Faith Erin Hicks about her work with author Rainbow Rowell on Pumpkinheads released on August 27. When asked about coming up with the story for the book, Faith said: “It was a cool story idea. Butt had magical animals in it, and I’m not comfortable with drawing animals. I was happy to put work into learning to draw animals. When she gave me the first draft of Pumpkinheads, I was like, This is perfect. This is exactly what I want to draw. The script felt like it had been made for me, [because[ she’d written it with me in mind as an artist. It’s wonderful.”
