Mr. McGovern makes good (comics)

Kirby Collector contributor Adam McGovern and/or his evil duplicates
are everywhere these days — Adam’s story on pop godhood with artist
Paolo Leandri is one giant page in the third, super-tabloid-size issue
of indie anthology funnypaper “pood”
(http://poodcomics.blogspot.com/), debuting at MoCCA Fest on April 9
in NYC (http://www.moccany.org/content/mocca-festival), and the same
team (with star IDW colorist Dom Regan) have a noir fable of obscure
Quality Comics character Alias the Spider in “Crack Comics #63”
(a.k.a. The Next Issue Project #3) from Image Comics, delayed from
December but expected this spring. Meanwhile fifteen first and second
issues of Adam’s adaptations for Italian company GG Studio are out in
America, covering everything from barbarians to yakuza to all-ages
muppet-mystery and all-arrested-adolescents burlesque action-thriller
(www.ggstudiodesign.com). Will he stimulate the comics economy…or
crash it? Pick up the next five and find out!
