NEAR MINTerview with Jim Rugg

Happy Labor Day Everyone!

Well, it may be the unofficial last day of summer but we’re celebrating the occasion with a couple of Near Mint firsts.  This is the first installment of coverage from last week’s Baltimore Comic-Con, it’s also our first video NEAR MINTerview.  Ben had the opportunity to sit down with Afrodesiac co-creator, Jim Rugg and he dropped some science on us.  In this 16-minute interview, Jim schools us on the history of comics and the direct market, blaxploitation, and the creative process that went into his amazingly unique work on books like Afrodesiac, Street Angel and Rambo 3.5 (which you can read here for free).

Our landmark 20th episode, featuring our Best of 2009 Awards will be heading your way shortly!

Interlocking posters build the hype for "Kick Ass" coming in April 2010

We couldn’t make the trip to San Diego ourselves this year but fortunately Late Night host, Jimmy Fallon was there to take in the sights and pitch a few people on his new superhero, the Recharger. Pretty funny stuff with some great comics industry cameos.
