As promised, Comic Foundry unveiled its monthly magazine format today, with all kinds of interesting content. And I'm not just saying that because I contributed a Q&A with James Jean. Really.

I only knew about a couple of stories planned for the premiere edition, so much of it came as a surprise. Of potential interest to readers of this art- and design-oriented blog:

An interview with roommates and comic artists R. Kikuo Johnson and Paolo Rivera, by Andrew Avery

A Q&A with the Ex Machina art team of Tony Harris, Tom Feister and J.D. Mettler, by Tim Leong

A step-by-step look at Danica Novgorodoff’s work process for her graphic novel, A Late Freeze

Becky Cloonan's current pop-culture influences, from music to books to video games

My aforementioned interview with James Jean about his cover work

There's much more, too, including contributions by blogosphere luminaries like Graeme McMillan, Ian Brill and Marc Mason.
