[Comic-Con@Home 2021] Witness the A LA BRAVA Universe from Phoenix Studios

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

FIRST LATINA SUPERHERO UNIVERSE BREAKS
GROUNDS AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON@HOME

San Diego Comic Con International is dedicated to creating the general public’s awareness of and appreciation for comics and multi-genre entertainment. Now 51 years strong being the organizer of the annual pop culture celebration. Creator/Writer Kayden Phoenix, having been a long-time full pass attendee herself, is proud to see herself on the other side of the table. Her publishing company, Phoenix Studios, created a universe of Latina Superhero graphic novels called A La Brava.

Always inspired by Comic Con’s grandeur, Kayden Phoenix wanted to create Latina superheroes that empower and invigorate. “I want to create a superhero mindset for all marginalized individuals, particularly Latine.” Support from national news channels like Disney/ABC Eyewitness News 7, Spectrum News 1, and international Spanish station, Univision, have broadcasted Phoenix’s comics echoing the importance of diverse representation.

Creator/Writer Kayden Phoenix

Combine Phoenix’s vision with a fresh-eyed Latina artist team like acclaimed GLAAD and Eisner-nominated illustrator, Eva Cabrera (SANTA, LOQUITA) and newcomer Amanda Julina Gonzalez (JALISCO, RUCA), an uprooted New Mexican who recently graduated from Laguna College of Art and Design in Animation, and you get beautiful and inspiring crafted pieces of art.

JALISCO, a blade-wielding folklorico dancer that uses her culture as her weapon. SANTA, a brawler that takes down the ICE detention centers. LOQUITA, a teen detective in the supernatural world. RUCA, a vigilante taking justice. BANDITA, the gunslinger in modern day New York.

Though a relatively new Universe, only the first three Latina superhero books are out, ComicCon@Home asked A La Brava to return after her WonderCon panel earlier this year. Kayden Phoenix and Amanda Julina Gonzalez are grateful to be in ‘Abolishing Traditional Ideas of Latinas through Latina Superheroes’ panel (Fri July 23rd at 5pm PST) with industry experts Dr. Drea Letamendi (clinical psychologist and host of Arkham Sessions podcast) and Frederick Luis Aldama (Eisner-Awarded professor).

“Comic book superheroes give kids something to look up to
and it helps if those heroes look something like the kids.”
– ABC Eyewitness News 7

“Everyone needs a superhero, but if you’re a woman or a person of color,
chances are you won’t find yourself reflected on the big screen, much less a comic book.”
– Spectrum News 1

“Su mission es que haya mas representacion de mujeres Latinas en la television y las peliculas estados
unidense/Her mission is to have more representation of Latinas in television and movies in the US.”
– Univision

You can see more of Kayden Phoenix and her expanding universe of Latina Superheroes at SDCC, book signings, school lectures, and at www.LatinaSuperheroes.com.

[Comic-Con@Home] Get an Early Look at HBO’s LOVECRAFT COUNTRY

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

During Saturday’s Comic-Con@Home panel for HBO’s genre-bending LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, fans were presented an exclusive sneak peek from the first season.

In the scene, Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors), his friend Leti (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and his father Montrose (Michael Kenneth Williams) raid a museum after hours in the pursuit of the clues they’re desperately seeking.

From showrunner and executive producer Misha Green, drama series LOVECRAFT COUNTRY debuts SUNDAY, AUGUST 16 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Based on the novel of the same name by Matt Ruff, the ten-episode series follows Atticus Freeman as he journeys with his childhood friend Letitia and his uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) on a road trip from Chicago across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father Montrose. Their search-and-rescue turns into a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and monstrous creatures that could be ripped from an H.P. Lovecraft paperback.

[Comic-Con@Home] View & Download the Free Comic-Con 2020 Souvenir Book!

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

Comic-Con’s 2020 Souvenir Book

It just wouldn’t be Comic-Con, @Home or otherwise, without the SDCC yearly Souvenir Book, available this year as a free PDF download!

Click here to download your copy!

This PDF is set up in 2-page spreads, to better mimic the feel of an actual book. Throughout the book are advertisements … for most of them, clicking anywhere on the actual ad will take you to the advertiser’s website, where you may find exclusive merchandise for sale or exclusive content. To navigate the PDF, it is recommended that you use your keyboard’s left and right arrow keys; clicking on the ad pages will take you to the web. Remember to zoom in for easier reading of the great articles in the book!

What’s in this year’s Souvenir Book? Artist William Stout—famed for his illustrations and murals depicting dinosaurs, and his comics and movie poster work—once again graces the Souvenir Book with one of his incredible covers, this one saluting the centennial of famed author Ray Bradbury, one of Comic-Con’s most beloved guests over the years. Stout is also one of the very few people to have attended every Comic-Con, as a special “Cover Story” feature reveals in this year’s book. Learn the “Easter Eggs” Bill worked into this cover, plus his process of creating this amazing illustration, along with his past association with Bradbury.

In addition to a long section devoted to Ray Bradbury (including an extensive biography, plus articles on his work in movies and TV, comics, and personal reminiscences), there’s also a special section devoted to the “other” Ray … Ray Harryhausen, the stop-motion animation genius, who was a lifelong friend of Bradbury’s, and is also celebrating a centennial this year.

It’s also the 75th anniversary of the very beginnings of EC Comics, and we celebrate with a history of the company focusing on their artists by author Grant Geissman, the recognized expert on EC. (There’s also a very special surprise that brings both Ray Bradbury and EC Comics together!) The worldwide phenomenon of Moomin also celebrates its 75th anniversary with an article by comics historian Paul Gravett, plus an incredible collection of fan art. Moving on, we look at the 50th anniversary of two historical American comics series, Conan and Jack Kirby’s Fourth World, featuring, respectively, articles by Roy Thomas (who brought Conan to Marvel Comics in 1970), and John Morrow and Mark Evanier discussing “King” Kirby’s groundbreaking creation, the Fourth World, which included the New Gods, the Forever People, Mister Miracle, and—believe it or not—Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen.

Click here to download your copy!

Finally, we celebrate legendary underground comix publisher and distributor Last Gasp and its owner, Ron Turner, in a career-spanning article by Jon B. Cooke (Comic Book Creator and The Book of Weirdo). Plus, a look back at the award winners from 2019, and those we lost in the past year are paid tribute to in our traditional “In Memoriam” section. All of this, plus the return of fan art paying tribute to our anniversary celebrations. The book even includes some amazing ads, featuring exclusive products that would have debuted at Comic-Con this year, that you can order directly from the exhibitors!
