The word is out! I’m writing a gonzo crossover miniseries featuring a teamup between the Kurt Russell characters from “Big Trouble in Little China” and “Escape from New York”! Russell Manning Award nominee Daniel Bayliss is drawing, BOOM! Studios is publishing, BTILC and EFNY director John Carpenter has blessed the project, and you’re gonna love it.
At long last, we have a release date for the first issue of KINGSWAY WEST, my new Dark Horse comic book! Mark August 24 on your calendar and please consider pre-ordering the book using the easy form at KingswayWest.com.
KINGSWAY WEST tells the story of a Chinese gunslinger searching for his wife in an Old West overrun with magic. It’s been a dream project of mine for literally two decades, and artist Mirko Colak, colorist Wil Quintana, and letterer Simon Bowland are bringing it to gorgeous life even as we speak.
I’ll share a lot more art and news as the days progress. In the meantime, do please feel free to spread the word to anyone you know who loves Westerns and fantasy or is interested in diversity in comics. We’re busting our rears to make this an incredible book — here’s hoping you’ll come along for the ride!
And once again, the pre-order site is KingswayWest.com . Comic shops will place their orders for books by August 1. So please do place your pre-orders before then!
Thanks so much and all the best!
