Blue-Collar Sci-Fi Pros Robbi Rodriguez & Simon Oliver ‘Collide’ In Gorgeous New Vertigo Series

By Andy Khouri

Collider is a new ongoing Vertigo series starting next month that sees its authors returning to a high concept hook that may be familiar to readers of their previous work, but from all appearances seems to be a considerable step up in style from the already enjoyable comics they’ve created before. Previously writer Simon Oliver worked on Vertigo’s five-volume series The Exterminators (with Tony Moore), which detailed the adventures of a hapless ex-con employed as a pest control professional who runs up against dangerous cockroach monsters mutated by a chemical agents created by an irresponsible super-science outfit. Along similar lines but in a completely different tone, artist Robbi Rodriguez i s a ComicsAlliance favorite who made a name for himself (with writer Jim Massey) on the Oni Press comedy Maintenance. Optioned as a film by DreamWorks Animation, that three-volume series followed the exploits of a couple of janitors employed by TerrorMax, Inc., purveyor of various crimes against science and nature.

What Rodriguez has described as ”a mash-up of Bruce Springsteen and Kurt Vonnegut —blue collar sci-fi,” Collider features the fictional Federal Bureau of Physics, whose mandate is to address problems like “temporary gravity failures, time reversal loops, and entropy reversals.” Those are the kinds of words we like to hear coming out of Vertigo, and the following pictures by Rodriguez, the extremely talented colorist Rico Renzi and cover artist Nathan Fox are definitely the kinds of things we want to see more of in sci-fi comics.

We know you’ve really been wondering what the interior of Love and Rockets: The Covers looks like… how it’s laid out, what the recoloring looks like, what it includes. This PDF excerpt should answer your questions, particularly the Editor’s Note:

It’s a spectacular and dee-luxe production and we want to be sure we’re getting everything just right at the printer, so we’re taking a little extra time with it and it’s now scheduled for September release. At top is a sample of the clear overlay that wraps around the front cover.

I love this.

The Man with 1000 Noses: An Art Sampler from Seth Fisher 1/3

I met Seth Fisher in 2004 at SDCC, in artist alley where I talked with him for over a half hour. He was sitting next to JH Williams III, eating a hummus sandwich. Walking by his table was the first time I’d seen his work, and he had a mountain of pages from Green Lantern: Willworld, and Vertigo Pop: Tokyo to look through, I was floored. He was incredibly nice, giving me some kind words about my work at the time, and some fun tips on establishing environment in comics. I bought this art sampler from him, and it’s one of my favorite things.

Head over to Multiversity Comics which has an interview with Ales where he talks about the series setup and my involvement with the book.

“As Lucas painted it, the shift will present new opportunities both for consumers and filmmakers. Viewers will have access to a wide variety of programming, “usually more interesting than what you’re going to see in the movie theater. And you can get it whenever you want, and it’s going to be niche-marketed, which means you can really take chances and do things if you can figure out there’s a small group of people that will kind of react to it.””

- Some really interesting opinions from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas about the future of the movie business, with interesting parallels to the state of the American comic book industry. (via chrisroberson)

   I have been tinkering recently with a ElseWorlds story/take on Batman set in that 70s styling. So, from the pages of PULP SUNDAY, I give you BATMAN 1972!

   To keep him in “the part”, my Batman smokes, wear a leather coat and a turtleneck, and drives a cool 70s BatMobile (an OldsMobile maybe? ;) I still need to decide on brand and model.

   Of course, as usually it happens in these cases, I start to flesh out all the other characters/stars of the story. Pictured above we have Selina Kyle, aka Foxy CATWOMAN, Lieutenant Jim Gordon (with period appropriate ‘stache ;)) and Ed Nygma AKA The Riddler.

   Yes, you are witnessing the first case of BATPLOITATION. Hope ya dig it.

I like that Jim Gordon looks like a blonde, mustachioed Frank Miller.
