SENTIENT Team Interview With Jeff Lemire & Gabriel Walta!

by 3 Comments

Sentient was one of my favorite comics of 2019, and the TKO Studios sci-fi mini is now a 2020 Eisner nominee for “Best Limited Series.” Creators Jeff Lemire, Gabriel Walta, Steve Wands and collaborators work to create an ambient, isolated space adventure with a mission gone horribly awry, and only children and their onboard artificial intelligence left to guide the vessel safely to a new homeland. It’s a gripping and occasionally heartrending read, with Walta’s gorgeous art and colors deliciously well-suited for the larger TKO Studios release format.

I had the chance to ask Lemire and Walta a variety of questions about the work in the wake of their Eisner recognition, and you’ll find their thoughts on the work below!

Should You Read Jack Kirby’s Eternals Before The MCU Movie?

The Eternals – written, drawn, and edited by Jack Kirby beginning in 1976 – is visually stunning, a bombastic treat loaded up with the King’s singular creativity. For 20 issues (including one Annual), Kirby and his collaborators – John Verpoorten on inks and letterers Gaspar Saladino, John Costanza, and Irv Watanabe handling the first four issues, Mike Royer taking over both for the rest of the series, and Glynis Wein neé Oliver supplying colors throughout – have assembled a fun, if inconsistent, comic book epic that practically rattles with potential. The new Eternals: Complete Collection is worth a read, though best when taken on its own terms. [Read more…] about Should You Read Jack Kirby’s Eternals Before The MCU Movie?
