Faction Review

Here's a new review of the NZ comic anthology Faction at The Weekly Crisis, it covers books 1-3 and dedicates a mini-review for every contribution. This is the write up for my four page Connie Radar comic --

“Connie Radar” by Karl Wills

CeeJay: I enjoyed “Connie Radar.” I’d even go as far as to say that it’s probably the second best segment of the entire anthology. One part “Tintin,” one part “Blondie” and one part “The Thing” (at least in terms of setting),  “Radar” was longer than a few of the others but a swift read nonetheless. I liked her lo-fi cyborg sidekick as well. 

Nevin: More than any other piece in this anthology, “Connie Radar” has that Sunday comicstrip feel to it. The art style and interactions also remind me of “Blondie” but straight black and white with the coloring. This is one of the better additions to the anthology, and I’d love to read more. On a last note, I would never speak to that maniac at the end.

Faction Comics

I should have posted this awhile ago, but the first issue of the New Zealand comic anthology Faction is out and there's a brand new four page Connie Radar comic by me inside. It's a great anthology, full colour for the most part and all very good stories too. Greg Broadmore's front cover is worth the price alone. Contributors include Jonathan King, Damon Keen, Roger Langridge, Lauren Marriot (who drew my favourite story in the book), Matt Emery, Ned Wenlock, Ant Sang and others... No.2 is in the works so if you're a New Zealand cartoonist and want some exposure this is one of the best venues for it.
