Comics and Craft Beer: A Winning Combination

By pghhead -

EDITOR’S NOTE:  Just like chocolate and peanut butter. What a pair-up!  Even though this beer will only be available in the Chicago area, we wanted to share the news with our craft beer loving and comics loving readers.  Anyone passing through the Chicago area care to pick up a six-pack for me?  

Arcade Brewery releases six-pack comic by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton

 

CHICAGO (November 9th, 2016) -- Chicago craft brewery, Arcade Brewery, announced today it will release the 3rd volume of 6-Pack Stories™ on new comic day, Wednesday November 16th. Ten Pin Creep: A Revival Mystery is a spinoff of the hit rural noir Revival published by Image Comics and written by Tim Seeley (Revival, Hack/Slash, Nightwing) and illustrated by Mike Norton (Revival, Battlepug, The Defenders) across six bottles of Imperial Red Ale.

Arcade co-founder Lance Curran said the idea for our 3rd volume of 6 Pack Stories was to partner with a local Chicago creative team, “being huge fans of Revival since it debuted from Image Comics back in 2012, we thought it would be amazing to be part of an already established story as well as one that’s set in the midwest.” Co-founder Chris Tourre brewed the beer. "We always start 6-pack stories by examining the artwork and story provided to us and brew a beer to pair with the comic," Tourre said. "This year, we settled on an Imperial Red dry-hopped with Mosaic to represent the big character of the midwest and all of the twist and turns of the comic."

 

Revival writer Tim Seeley stated about the project, "The only thing Mike and I like more than comics is beer. Getting a chance to turn our comic REVIVAL into this wonderful libation with our friends at Arcade Brewery is a career long dream realized."

 

Illustrator Mike Norton said, “There’s not a single beer from Arcade that I haven’t enjoyed. Really excited to have them make something based on our comic.I can’t wait to see AND TASTE it!”

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

INDIE COMICS: Huffin’ & puffin’ B.B. Wolf’s got the blues

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the businesses and clubs they patronize as well as the shops they d
