Beauology 101: Un Abrazo, Enrique Villagran 1940-2014
Beau Smith talks about his friend and collaborator, Enrique Villagran, who passed away recently.
Beau Smith is the self-professed Last Real Man in Comics. He’s also written Guy Gardner: Warrior, Parts Unknown, Batman vs. Wildcat, and lots more. This month, he returns to his creation Wynonna Earp for IDW’s Wynonna Earp: The Yeti Wars. Westfield’s Roger Ash hoisted a few brews with Beau and got him to spill the beans on his new book. (Actually we just emailed each other, but that doesn’t sound near as fun.)
Special Offer! Every copy of Wynonna Earp: The Yeti Wars sold through Westfield this month will be signed by Beau Smith!

I think we all know how this works by now but just in case: I like to point out some things you should consider because they’re awesome. Hopefully I can point out some older stuff you might have missed, too.

1. DC Annuals: The DC Universe seems to have an interlude month of books this time around. There are no new major launches — not too surprising, given both the turmoil within their pages (The Return of Bruce Wayne, fresh starts for Superman and Wonder Woman) and real life (DC’s restructuring/further assimilation into Time Warner’s corporate structure, with the real-life fallout and uncertainty of people losing their jobs, moving across country, or some other unknown, which unfortunately has also wreaked havoc with their recent on-time scheduling). I haven’t commented much on this situation because the ultimate story (and its ramifications) is still unfolding, and I’m more concerned about old friends and colleagues possibly losing their jobs than the comics themselves.
