![]() ![]() Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast! Zdarsky’s newest Spidey title, Spider-Man: Life Story, predicated on the surprisingly simple premise of “what if Spider-Man aged in real-time?” has blossomed into something much bigger, more unexpected and enthralling than one might expect, too (to say nothing of how staggeringly beautiful the covers are). This is because, despite his upbeat nature and killer social media game, Zdarsky’s style is one that shines a light on moral grey areas, and the heart-wrenching realities of the human experience - all elevated for heroism across stories like those told in Invaders, Daredevil, and Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man. Most readers have come to expect good, nuanced and emotionally resonant writing from Eisner award nominated writer and artist Chip Zdarsky. Movies, television, gaming, and of course comics will all be covered with great responsibility as we honor one of comics’ greatest heroes. ![]() ![]() We have a series of amazing articles in store for the month.

Interestingly, Gradinger recalls, Shipstead was not one of the students who signed up for her talk. Remember those? I couldn’t stop reading it: it was so crisp and funny and insightful.” We had an amazing conversation, didn’t talk about work, but she did send me a story I read on my BlackBerry. Gradinger remembers traveling to Iowa when she was a “baby agent”: “I didn’t have a driver’s license, and Connie kindly sent to pick me up. At that point, I only had a few short stories.” “When I said I didn’t, she sent me to pick up Rebecca, who was coming to talk to the students. “During my second year, Connie Brothers called me to ask if I had an agent,” she says. Iowa is also where Shipstead also met her literary agent, Rebecca Gradinger, of Fletcher & Company. A Harvard graduate, she says she applied to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop in 2005 “not expecting to get in”-but when she was accepted, she thought, “Amazing-I have a life plan for the next two years.” While at Iowa, she began to think of writing as a feasible career. ![]() This is Shipstead’s third novel, after her 2012 bestselling debut, Seating Arrangements, and 2014’s Astonish Me. ![]() ![]() Looking for something to read?
