By Dan The book is part of the Minx line of graphic novels being published by the mega-giant DC Comics, but it’s got indie heart. Upon reviewing the line-up I believe the Minx is attempting to target teen girls, with offerings from many female ...

Like Minx before it, this new line has been a poorly kept secret for well over a year. Much-respected editor Will Dennis is the driving force behind the line, and from what we’ve heard over our ham radio, you can expect many of his stable of creators to be contributing. More as it develops. At PW,...

By Johanna RD: I was working on my second novel and kept reaching this kind of cul-de-sac. So I decided to put it away for a while and write something radically different. I sent Shelly Bond at DC Comics a pitch for a graphic novel that I’d been kicking around my head for a while. The genre is so imaginatively...

By Steve Flanagan So there can be western comics under DC’s DC Universe imprint, but it seems that they have to have the tone of their standard superhero books. Out with the banter and frolic, and bring on the blood and the pain and the rape. Do you think they could start an imprint for people who are sick of that?

By Johanna Is the line a success? I don’t pay attention to sales figures much, so I don’t know how well the books are selling either in the direct market or in the bigger bookstore field. That they’re doing a second year says to me that they still are optimistic about the idea. I’m guessing the books are mos...

By Johanna This is the most imaginative Minx title, and one that has at its core something beyond “learning more about the person the teen girl is or will be”. It allows Telly to focus on someone other than herself, so from an intellectual perspective, it attracted me more than the other books. I still li...

By Johanna One thing Minx gets very right is their usage of cultures and backgrounds beyond the white Midwesterner. It’s neat seeing Grace and her Korean family and friends presented so naturally. Paul O’Brien also enjoyed the book. Hamm has been interviewed and shares eight art tips. There’s an onlin...

In the wider scheme of things, while I don’t know what DC’s current take on creators rights is — the new paradigm of movie studio comics company to movie option calls for a lot more rights than in the Epic Comics days of yore — in the past it was nothing to be ashamed of. Of course people have been r...

By Bill Sherman In sum, Re-Gifters is a step forward for DC's fledgling Minx Line: a snappier entertainment than the company's debut GN, Plain Janes, to be sure. The line definitely bears watching, though I personally suspect DC won't really start grabbing serious 'tween-girl money until they come up w...
