Hitting the shelves tomorrow, the Activate Primer collection from IDW. Regular readers will know that the Activate webcomics collective is one of my very favourite online reads and its terrific to see a print collection of some of their works. This volume includes contributions from some brilliant comics creators; some you’ll know, some will be new to you (and that’s half the fun, discovering interesting work that’s new to us). The Primer contains work from Molly Crabapple, Roger Langridge, Leland Purvis, Nick Bertozzi, Mike Dawson, Simon Fraser, Dean Haspiel and many more in a neat little landscape-format hardback. Perfect if you’re looking for something that little bit different and seeking out examples of different talents you might want to explore further.
