Hello and welcome to Comic Book Herald’s Hickmania, a series running through 2022 where we’ll be reading and analyzing the creator-owned works of writer Jonathan Hickman, from his debut The Nightly News through to his most recent output. We’ll be reading one creator-owned work a month through 2022, and each month I’ll release a new analysis with a new guest discussing the comic! Today we’re talking Hickman’s Ultimates and Ultimate Hawkeye and I’m joined by Charlotte Fierro & Zack “The Snack” Deane from My Ultimate Year. We’ll analyze the work in depth, so expect spoilers! Previously: Past episodes of Hickmania Hickmania on Youtube   Topics today include: How does Hickman’s approach to the Ultimates fit into the broader Marvel Ultimate Universe context? What corners of the Marvel Universe does Hickman pull into his vision for the Ultimates? All the ways Ultimates and Ultimate Hawkeye predict what’s to come in Hickman’s Avengers and X-Men runs! Where does Hickman’s Ultimates rank in comparison to the rest of the Marvel Ultimate Universe? Why did Hickman’s Ultimates end so early, and what might have been?! Hickman on EW, circa Secret Wars: “I think that Ultimate stuff that Esad and I did is one of the best things I’ve done at Marvel. It was unquestionably a failure, but it wasn’t because the book wasn’t good, it was because it was the same time the New 52 came out. .. It got completely crushed under a wave of product. That was a bummer, because the one book that I wanted to do when I started at Marvel was the Ultimates, and do it in a way where I’m basically building in the Ultimate universe…you’re not constrained by continuity in the same way that you are when you’ve got 60 other books coming out in the regular Marvel line. I desperately wanted that book to succeed. I would’ve done that book for years.” Ultimate Comics Ultimates is: Writer: Jonathan Hickman Artist: Esad Ribic, Brandon Peterson, Rafa Sandoval Colors: Dean White, Brad Anderson Letters: Clayton Cowles Publisher: Marvel Referenced interviews: https://ew.com/article/2015/01/29/jonathan-hickman-secret-wars-its-end-horror-story/ Schedule: January 2022 – The Nightly News February 2022 – Pax Romana March 2022 – Transhuman / Ultimates April 2022 – A Red Mass For Mars May 2022 – The Red Wing June 2022 – The Manhattan Projects July 2022 – Secret August 2022 – God is Dead August/Sept 2022 – East of West October 2022 – The Dying and the Dead November 2022 – The Black Monday Murders December 2022 – Decorum December 2022 – 3W3M The post Hickmania #3: Hickman’s Ultimates (Marvel My Ultimate Year Crossover!) appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

This week on Creannotators, I’m talking about Best Jackett Press and Comixology comics with creator Scott Snyder. We chat about the digital comic landscape, all his comics coming out through Best Jackett, the recent Comixology acquisition, and the aspects of his work on Batman that he’d like to see included in the new film.

Creannotators is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics! We Have Demons Is: Writer: Scott Snyder Penciller: Greg Capullo Inker: Jonathan Glapion Letterer: Tom Napolitano Colorist: Dave McCaig Publisher: Dark Horse Comics About the Artist: In addition to We Have Demons, Scott Snyder has also written American Vampire, Undiscovered Country, Batman, Nocterra, and many more comics from his creative studio, Best Jackett Press. ——————————————————————————————————- Music for Best Comics Ever by Anthony Weis.
