From the PopImage Staff.

It's a new year - and a new look - for PopImage.

As PopImage enters its second calendar year, we've taken the opportunity to do a little home decor and buff up the fixtures and fittings. Our PROFILE this month deals with the work of STARMAN artist Peter Snejberg, plus we have a special feature on independent publishers Oni Press in INDUSTRIAL. There's also an insight into the world of crime comics, and an introduction to Andi Watson's excellent GEISHA.

Our new INTERVIEWS section includes talks with Marc Andreyko, Scott Cunningham, Jason Little, Mark Wieringo, and DC Vertigo editor Axel Alonso. In GUTTER PRESS, we look to the future in Beyond, and, for your listening pleasure, provide the perfect musical accompaniment to Ennis and Dillon's PREACHER.

Our REVIEWS section includes reviews of POKEMON, NEVADA, and ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE, plus a retrospective on Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning MAUS: A SURVIVOR'S TALE. ATTITUDE includes musings on storytelling, risk-taking, and the death of comics, plus some "angry social commentary" from Steve Stegelin, whose acclaimed BOONDOGGLE strip makes a welcome return to Pi COMICS this month.

We've made a New Year's Resolution. PopImage is determined to keep bringing you the very best in interviews, reviews, original features and comic book commentary every month. If you keep reading, we'll keep the good stuff coming.
