On the final day of the 2017 Calgary Expo, I sat down with Canadian comicbook artist Max Dunbar. He's worked on titles including Dungeons & Dragons, Slash & Burn and Micronauts, just to name a few. Keep an eye out, because this summer (August) he has a huge comics crossover event coming out via IDW called First Strike. Prediction: If you're a fan of G.I. Joe and the Transformers, then you're going to love it. And quite simply, if you're a fan of incredible art, writing and story, then plunk down a few bucks and read First Strike.
Dunbar talks about his first series Red Sonja: Atlantis Rises (2012), the process of when he got started and having to work his day job, while also working on his first comic title - not just a one-shot - but a full blown four-issue series. Slash & Burn (Vertigo) is another series that Dunbar did, so if you like a gritty, modern day crime story, then this is the book for you. Trust me, it's on my immediate must-read list. Also, Dunbar goes on to talk about how Jim Zub - writer on Dungeons & Dragons with IDW - recommended to be the artist on the D&D book.
There's so much more I can tell you about Dunbar, but I'd rather you listen to it yourself. Hit play on the Soundcloud link and enjoy.
