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 typ...

Meeting writer Lance Parkin . . . . .

THE AUTHOR SIGNINGS AT CAPTAIN BLUE HEN COMICS 11/07/2009 Opportunities to meet authors, chat with them and ask questions in relaxed and casual surroundings don’t occur often. So, it was a real treat to be introduced to three separate writers on the same day, at the same location. I opted to ask all three writers (Greg Cox, Lance Parkin and Dave Thompson) the same opening question: At what point did you decide to pursue what you do as a career? The early ambition of Lance Parkin was to be a journalist but he became disillusioned as he learned more about the position and didn’t pursue it. He was an early and forever fan of Doctor Who and loved the novelizations. At the age of 23 he thought to himself “I can do the same thing. I can write as well as this.” At that time Virgin (the publisher) were putting out two Doctor Who novels per month and were looking for more writers. They were willing to accept unsolicited submittals ...
