Mark Waid is fresh of three big wins at the 2012 Eisner Awards, and he's re-taking the comics world by storm. On the big name book, Daredevil, he's working with a stunning cadre of artists to remake everything we know about Matt Murdock. Then, he's taking a shot at reinventing digital comics on his own startup, Thrillbent.com. We talk about all this, as well as the end of Waid's series, Irredeemable and Incorruptible.
On the first night of the San Diego Comic Con, we witnessed the unveiling of The Walking Dead Zombie Escape Machine from Robert Kirkman and Hyundai and then proceeded to make fun of Robert because of it. But in all seriousness, the car was badass and it was fun to chat with Robert as usual.
But this isn't all the Kirkman we got, stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon!

Without art and artists, comic books are just words. And what would be the point of that? Ron, Josh, and Conor talk about what makes up their favorite comic book art, what some of the early favorites were, and who is doing the best artwork in comic books today. The idea of art is certainly subjective, but there are a few things all three can agree on; things like Darwyn Cooke, for example. From style to to storytelling, and artists who used to draw one way, and now do it another, we try to cover as much as we can. - iFanboy
When you talk about the most important comic book creators of the last 30 years, indeed, of all time, you have to include Frank Miller in the discussion. From his early work at Marvel Comics revitalizing Daredevil and his superstar making turn on Wolverine to his industry altering work on The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil: Born Again, and Batman : Year One to his creator-owned work like Ronin, Sin City, Martha Washington, and 300 and to his controversial return to DC Comics with The Dark Knight Strikes Again and All-Star Batman & Robin The Boy Wonder, and to his side trips to Hollywood with Robocop 2 and 3, Sin City, and The Spirit, Frank Miller has never failed to shake-up the comic book industry over the course of his career.
