Kodansha Comics is continuing to do more to get fans of the Attack on Titan property familiar with some of the creatives involved in their new anthology hardcover release. The latest one that they’re doing another profile on is creator Paolo Rivera, who provided some pinups and material that ended up becoming the cover for the release. This one provides a two-minute piece showing his illustration work for the property as well as the second part of the interview with him. Rivera has been around for some time in the North America comic scene and has done a lot of varied work for the big publishers, including work on the recent Hellboy the BPRD that we reviewed here.
Additionally, a release-day trailer arrived that clocks in at a minute and shows off more of the variety from the book.
Project concept: Featuring original stories by a long roster of comic superstars such as Scott Snyder (Batman, American Vampire), Gail Simone (Batgirl), Michael Avon Oeming (Powers), Paolo Rivera (Daredevil, Amazing Spider-Man), Cameron Stewart (Fight Club 2, Batgirl) and Faith Erin Hicks (The Adventures of Superhero Girl)! This unprecedented, full-color collaboration between East and West will be released first in English, making it indispensable for Attack on Titan fans and curious comic fans.
