Issue: #6
Release: November 2012
Writers: Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon
Artists: Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon
In the Cannons' latest, Hector and Elliott have a dramatic encounter with Geryon (he's the guy with the big purple head on this month's cover) in Zander's Heck. In Kevin's Crater XV, Pravda's memory has returned. She now remembers Army from her childhood. For anyone with curiosity about the technical aspects of comics, Kevin's use of word balloons is really interesting. Extras this month are Kevin's Penny from the Front, Zander's Here Me Is! and How To: This final section, in which the creators provide insights into their process, has become my favorite part of Double Barrel. In this installment, Zander offers reflections on his experiences as a freelance layout artist.
In other exciting Cannon-related news, Kevin is the cover artist for this week's Village Voice.
Double Barrel can be purchased wherever eBooks and web comics are sold. I got mine at ComiXology. I hope you'll join me in supporting this engaging work.
I saw a use of word balloons that struck me as quite interesting in an 'Avengers' comic book my daughter bought. They were different colors and shapes depending on the speaker.
ReplyDeleteKevin's are pretty nifty - overlapping one another, sometimes the words bleeding over to an unseen point beyond the edges of the panel, etc.
