On Tuesday
January 15, 2013 at 9pm Eastern Time, we'll be discussing
Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes with writer
Corinna Bechko, co-writer and artist
Gabriel Hardman, and Editor
Dafna Pleban.
Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes is set just before the original Charlton Heston film in the classic Apes continuity, and has been described as "Doctor Zaius: Year One."
The story is a sci-fi political thriller loaded with action and adventure.
Corinna Bechko is a writer of both comics and prose (
Heathentown, Exile on the Planet of the Apes) who can't shake her zoology background.
Gabriel Hardman has drawn
Hulk and
Agents of Atlas for Marvel Comics as well as
Heathentown for Image/Shadowline. He is an accomplished motion picture illustrator whose credits include
Spider-Man 3, X2: X-Men United, Superman Returns, and
Inception.
Dafna Pleban is an Editor at BOOM! Studios over the
Planet of the Apes line, as well as other titles such as
The Hypernaturals and
Dracula: The Company of Monsters.
Corinna and Gabriel are currently co-writing
Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm, with Dafna on edits at BOOM! Studios. Corinna and Gabriel are also collaborating on their new creator-owned project,
Station to Station, which began in
Dark Horse Presents #19, and features San Francisco under assault by giant monsters!
----------------
Then, on Tuesday,
January 22, 2013 at 9pm Eastern Time, we'll be joined by writer
Mark Sable and artist
Paul Azaceta!
Mark and Paul will be discussing their many collaborations together, including
Graveyard of Empires from Image. In that book, set in Afghanistan, Marines face a never-ending onslaught of Taliban. But even hell can get worse. The dead come back to life, and only together can both sides of today’s conflict survive tomorrow’s undead assault.
In addition to
Graveyard, Mark and Paul have also collaborated on
What If? Spider-Man from Marvel and
Grounded from Image. Join us for a discussion on collaboration and more!
Mark Sable is also the writer of
Batman: Two-Face: Year One, Supergirl and
Teen Titans Spotlight: Cyborg for DC, and the creator-owned
Unthinkable for BOOM! Studios. He is a writer for both stage and screen (big and small).
Paul Azaceta is an artist who has also worked on numerous other popular properties including the
Amazing Spider-Man, B.P.R.D., Daredevil, and
Potter's Field with writer Mark Waid.
