Something you might have missed…

There’s a little quote from me at the ECF Labs site at the moment that you may not have noticed. The ECF is the European Cutural Foundation and is well worth an hour or two of your time, there’s lots to seen there – both in terms of comics and other interesting writing.  I was asked to provide a brief quote on comics and I said something like this:

“In the spaces between a comic’s panels, a love can be found, a world can be lost, a universe born or a life lived. Each panel captures and crystallises a moment, an action, and comics live and thrive on the mysteries that exist between moments. The love is found, the world is lost, and in our reading, in the journeys we take between moments, the story can’t help but grow greater.”

If you go over to the ECF site you’ll be able to read it there too.


A Complex Review

There’s a new review of the final issue of Complex up at the Forbidden Planet International blog. Richard is undecided about the ending, which is an understandable reaction to it: Here’s what he says:

“I just don’t know. Like so much of Noble’s work, the finale is so open to interpretation, so deliberately unclear, full of possibilities, ideas, potential explanations, theories….. it would be frustrating if it weren’t so enthralling, annoying if it hadn’t been so intensely, atmospherically thrilling in the build-up to this.”

Go on over and have a look for yourselves, and remember: you can always give it a read and see what you think right here on the site, or you can get the issues here too.
