Diversity in YA: 5 Things Faith Erin Hicks Learned While Drawing NOTHING CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG:

By Faith Erin Hicks

1) Robot fight scenes are the hardest things to draw ever.

Over the past five years of working fulltime in comics, I’ve drawn a wide variety of things. Summer camps, creepy alien birds, graveyards, ships, ghosts, schools, ponies …. but nothing is as difficult to draw…

letangles:

Mr. Rogers Neighborhood is the first TV show I remember ever watching. I was so young that I wasn’t even living in California yet. I thought he was actually a member of my family… a small grainy family member. I’ve been reading his book Life’s Journeys According to Mr. Rogers: Things to Remember Along the Way. It’s hopeful to think that someone this kind and selfless existed, it reminds us that as terrible as people can be, that we are also capable of being better, being good. I’m gonna go hug my childhood blanket now.

I’m excited to share with you the final cover art (Korra drawn by Joaquim Dos Santos and painted by me, with a background painting by Fred Stewart) for the upcoming Korra Book One: Air art book, published by our good friends at Dark Horse Books. This was a real labor of love (heavy on the labor) for Mike, Joaquim, and me and all those who helped as we put this book together, and we are so proud of all the great artists’ work inside and can’t wait to share it with all of you. The plan is to do one of these art books per “book” of Korra (so four total), which is daunting yet fantastic.

Direct market on sale date: July 24, 2013.

Book market on sale date: August 6, 2013.

9” x 12” hardcover, 144 pages

Legend of Korra gets all the cool stuff!

bryankonietzko:

I was a guest on the latest episode of The Big Pull Podcast. My good buddy Kurt Mattila (director of the ATLA documentary Avatar Spirits, among many other great things) invited me to join him last week, along with my other good buddies Angela Marie Volpe and Giancarlo Volpe (ATLA director and Green Lantern: The Animated Series show runner), to discuss our top three episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, among many other topics, like being a show runner, Korra, and stuff. Lots of stuff, and more run-on sentences like the previous one. In fact, so many run-ons that Kurt had to split it into two parts.

Here’s the link to the first half of our conversation. And here’s a piece of fanart I did of my favorite character, Data. I’ll let you know as soon as Kurt posts Part II. It was a lot of fun, I hope you enjoy! Oh, and Mike was a guest on some earlier episodes (#10 & 11), so be sure to check those out too.

Mathematical Chances that Aya Is Alive

Sat, 13 Apr 2013 13:38:00 -0700

WARNING.

GREEN LANTERN THE ANIMATED SERIES MAJOR SPOILER BELOW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I’m not necessarily saying this is canon, but I couldn’t help but present the following argument: There were a lot of deaths in GLTAS, many of which were not permanent. Below I’ve listed permanent vs. temporary deaths that occurred through out the season. For the record, I didn’t count any “mass killing”, such as the countless Spider Guild soldiers murdered in episode 18, etc.

01 - M’ten (permanent)

02- Shyir Rev (permanent)

03 - Ilana (permanent)

04 - None

05 - Green Lantern Dulok (permanent), Kilowog (fake death by poison)

06 - Gruun (permanent)

07 - None

08 - None

09 - None

10 - None

11 - Green Lantern Tavarus (permanent)

12 - None (although some could argue Atrocitus killed Byth Rok after he got the code from him)

13 - None (although some might argue Razer killed Drusa. Think about it - why was Atrocitus the only villain shown being arrested?)

14 - Professor Noam Chilton (permanent)

15 - LANOS (although another version of his program returned in episode 23), Hal Jordan (fake death ,revealed to have been blasted into the antimatter universe.)

16 - Nobody dies on Hal Jordan’s watch

17 - None, unless you count Manhunters (I’m not)

18 - Spider Guild Captain (permanent) Neuroxis (permanent), Razer (fake death by suffocation)

19 - Aya (fake death which as the Book of Oa states “crushed the fan base for seven days”)

20 - Guardian Science Director, aka Scar (fake death, she teleported to safety and returned in episode 24), The Anti-Monitor (also fake death, “the helm was merely separated from a suit of armor”, returned in episode 25)

21 - Non-descript Goblin dude (permanently eaten by “Mother”)

22 - Ghia’ta (permanent)

23 - Glomulus (fake death by “popping”, it’s assumed Larfleeze can always make a new one)

24 - None

25 - Anti-Monitor dies again by having his face torn in half (permanent)

26 - Aya dies…. Permanently?

Which makes for a total of 23 “deaths” in 26 episodes (why does that make me proud? TEAR.) Of those 23 deaths, two were “vague” (Byth Rok and Drusa) and EIGHT were “fake” or “temporary” deaths.

Basic math tells us there is a 34.782608695652 % chance that Aya would have returned, or a 38.095238095238% chance if you don’t count Byth Rok or Drusa as “dead”. Not the best odds, but a little bit better than a 1 in 3 chance.

Razer clearly ignored the odds and went with his heart, which was so full of hope it was enough to tip the scales in his favor and earn him a Blue Lantern Ring.

What do YOU think?
