Here’s some of the current news about Canadian comic book creators and supporters.
DC Nation interviewed Jeff Lemire about his new book Joker: Killer Smile. When asked about what he wanted to explore in this book about the Joker, Jeff said: “I’ve written a lot on the DC Universe in the past, but I have never really had a chance to write any of the Batman-related characters, so this opportunity was very exciting for me.

But I didn’t really feel intimidated by it, really just excited to try and do something new and fresh and put our own spin on the character, while still celebrating all the great Joker stories that have come before.”

He also warned me that I’ll be drawing lots of cars, something I was never comfortable drawing until I accepted the job.

One night I started thinking less about the destination and more about the journey, the classic idea of Charon and the River Styx, and what the modern idea of that would be. Seemed to me that it would be a rideshare kind of scenario, and that spawned Afterlift..”
