This week’s Publisher’s Weekly email newsletter, which was sent out yesterday, includes an interview with Alvin Lu, vice president of publishing for Viz Media; a review of James Sturm’s America: God, Gold, and Golems; a Q&A with Richard Sala and an article on Brandon Graham’s King City, where Graham talks about the main character’s cat:
“I originally conceived of the cat primarily as a tool for Joe. The cat is the ultimate tool/weapon,” said Graham. “The fun thing about the cat is that he can do absolutely anything that the cat master can come up with or anything that fits the situation: periscope, skateboard, catapult and more. As the story progresses, the cat’s personality becomes more defined. The cat is a genius. When he’s not being carried around in a bucket by Joe he’s often solving complex math problems trying to unveil the mysteries of the universe.”
