Sparrow & Crowe #2 reviewed at Newsarama.com!

Sparrow & Crowe #2

The second issue of Sparrow & Crowe: The Demoniac of Los Angeles was reviewed by Jake Baumgart of Newsarama.com.

Here are some of our favorite highlights:

“This second issue of the indie darling Sparrow and Crowe raises the stakes but also raises the quality.”

“…writers David Accampo and Jeremy Rogers write the kind of characterization that series are built off of.”

“Jared Souza steps it up in this second issue as well with pencils that rest between John Romita, Jr. and Noah Van Sciver.”

David Accampo Interviewed by Fanboy Comics

Kristine Chester, a contributing writer for Fanboycomics.net, interviewed David Accampo about the imminent release of SPARROW & CROWE, as well as its connection to Wormwood: A Serialized Mystery, and some of David’s other podcasts, including The Deceptionists and Fuzzy Typewriter.

Here’s a bit about writing advice:

KC: You also co-host on a number of podcasts including The Fuzzy Typewriter and The Deceptionists where you dispense invaluable writing advice.  For the aspiring comic creators in our audience, is there any advice you’d care to share?

DA: I love chatting with the Deceptionists about various writing topics, but I hesitate to call it advice. I feel more like we’re sharing experiences and asking questions of one another. So, I feel like my advice would be to take your craft seriously and learn from everyone. There’s a Zen Buddhism concept called “Beginner’s Mind” which I feel is incredibly useful to writers. It just means that you have to keep yourself open – treat everything as a potential learning experience. When you do that, you’re open to learn from EVERYWHERE. And, I think that’s valuable, because the writing “opinions” I’ve formed over the years have come from so many different sources. Reading comics scripts, creative writing teachers, editors, director commentary tracks on DVDs, books on writing, interviews with writers, your peers.  And, most importantly: the act of writing itself. You can and should be learning from everything.  And, that’s something that Paul Montgomery and I also share in our sensibility with the Fuzzy Typewriter podcast – we both genuinely love stories and storytelling, and no matter what we’re talking about, I think we both are trying to examine the art and also crack it open a little to see what makes it tick.

Sparrow & Crowe on The Deceptionists Podcast!

The Deceptionists: Truth through FictionAs a co-host of The Deceptionists, a creative writing workshop podcast, Dave Accampo had the chance to talk a little about the Sparrow & Crowe comic book on the show’s most recent episode, which discusses NaNoWriMo — National Novel Writing Month!

It’s a great discussion on the trials, tribulations, and successes of NaNoWriMo, but Dave also takes a few minutes to talk about the Sparrow & Crowe Kickstarter campaign, and to shed a little light on the characters and the story! There might even be a spoiler or two buried in the conversation!
