-
It has been an interesting year for cinema. We’ve been treated to the biggest of blockbusters and some truly unique independent films. My top five films for the year so far are;


1 - Melancholia directed by Lars Von Trier
2 - The Artist directed by Michel Hazanavicius
3 - The Angels Share directed by Ken Loach
4 - Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy directed by Tomas Alfredson
5 - Salmon Fishing in Yemen directed by Lasse Hallstrom



Honourable mentions include The Avengers, The Raid, Woman in Black, The Grey and Ted. Feel free to agree or disagree with the choices and list your top five in the comments section. At this rate though 2012 is shaping up as one of the finer years for the silver screen.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
