2014.03.26 – “Eternal Warrior” #7 out today!

Posted on by

The latest and greatest issue of “Eternal Warrior” hits stores today, and I hope you’ll consider picking it up. Without any exaggeration, I think this might be one of the best things I’ve written in a while, and Robert Gill’s pencils, Guy Major’s colors, and Dave Sharpe’s letters are just stunning.

The story’s about an immortal warrior who’s become the quiet protecter of a small farming community in a near-idyllic post-disaster world. But humanity has a way of repeating its mistakes, and soon our hero and his wide-eyed granddaughter Caroline must enter a new world of growing technological wonder and terror.

I’ve been playing with pace in this story, really taking all the time I can to establish the world and the quiet relationships and little moments that drive the big emotional story. There’s a moment in issue #6 that’s a splash page showing nothing but a child’s face, and I think it’s one of the best things I’ve written all year.

If you’ve enjoyed my other work, I hope you’ll give this book a shot. The current storyline began with issue #5, and issue #7 hits stores today.

If you read your comics digitally, you can grab everything at Comixology.

And read on for a preview of issue #7.

2014.03.26 – “Eternal Warrior” #7 preview!

“Eternal Warrior” #7, written by yours truly with art by the amazing Robert Gill and colors by Guy Major, hits stores on Wednesday, March 26 — and you can check out a colored, lettered preview right here!

The story is set two thousand years in the future and features a weary immortal picking up the sword one last time to try to save his granddaughter in a post-disaster world.

I’m really proud of the book — it’s got huge action, as you might expect from a Eternal Warrior story, but we’re doing our best to run the entire tale through with gentle humor and deep emotion. Please do consider grabbing it — the story arc started with issue #5.

“Make Comics Like the Pros” how-to book coming in September from Pak, Van Lente and Coover!

Posted on by

makecomicslikethepros

Yes, it’s true: Fred Van Lente and I have written a book called Make Comics Like the Pros, with amazing art from the great Eisner-award-winning Colleen Coover!

Make Comics Like the Pros provides incredibly practical pointers about the collaborative art of making comics at every stage, from pitching to writing to production to promotion and distribution. As a special feature, Fred and I wrote an original comic that Colleen illustrated — and we go over every stage in the creation of that piece within the book!

You can pre-order the book even as we speak at Amazon. It hits stores in September.

John Damaso, an English teacher at Brophy College Preparatory, has been teaching a unit about dystopia and had his students read my graphic novel “Vision Machine” (available for FREE in pdf and iPad app form).

This thread is for Mr. Damasco’s students (and anyone else!) who has questions for me about “Vision Machine.” Please feel free to post away!

All the best, and thanks for reading!

TUROK #1, ACTION COMICS #28 and CODE MONKEY SAVE WORLD #3 on sale today!

Posted on by

Hey, friends. It’s a big Wednesday for me — three of my books hit stores! Hope you’ll consider checking them out. And if you’re in NYC, please come see me tonight from 6 to 8 pm at JHU Comics!

TUROK DINOSAUR HUNTER #1 is the story of an exiled Native American persecuted by his own tribe whose world turns upside down with the arrival of dinosaurs. The book is illustrated by Mirko Colak with colors by Lauren Affe and letters by Marshall Dillon. Nate Cosby is our fearless leader and editor.

A few excerpts from reviews:

“…a world arrives fully realized on the page with endless potential.” — Den of Geek

“Thanks to it’s outstanding creative team, and a fresh approach, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #1 is more than just a reboot, it’s a victory lap for everyone involved!” — Comics: The Gathering

“Pak gives a deeply emotional driven story that sets up the future of the series perfectly. I also loved the soft spoken nature he gave Turok, and the way that the English language was classed as the foreign language amused me.” — Unleash the Fanboy

Grab it from your local store, nab it on Comixology, or get it via mail order from Dynamite!

ACTION COMICS #28 continues the exploration of the world of Subterranea, where Superman and Lana Lang learn of an entirely new threat — and spend a little more time with each other.  Art by Aaron Kuder and colors by Wil Quintana.

The Comic Current calls the book “flawless” and All-Comic.com gives it five stars.

Grab it at your local store or nab it on Comixology.

Finally, CODE MONKEY SAVE WORLD #3 is now available at Comixology! Here’s the solicit: “Code Monkey joins Skullcrusher and the monsters of Villainy Affiliated, LLC in hopes of saving his office crush Matilde from the clutches of Laura the Robo Queen. But who ever said Matilde actually needs saving? Shocking revelations await you on Chiron Beta Prime!”

Art by Takeshi Miyazawa, colors by Jessica Kholinne, letters by Simon Bowland, and based on the songs of Jonathan Coulton.

Also, here’s an advance review of TUROK #1 from Adam McGovern over at ComicCritique.com. An excerpt: “The ear for the shadings (both nurturing and harsh) of Native culture is attentive and three-dimensional, and the psychological climate layered and foreboding.”

Last day to back Dean Trippe’s stunning “Something Terrible” on Kickstarter

Posted on by

Dean Trippe has created an incredibly moving piece of art with his short comic book story “Something Terrible,” an autobiographical work about childhood trauma and the power of superheroes. I broke down and cried while reading it the first time and HIGHLY recommend you back the project on Kickstarter today.

There are just six hours left in the campaign.

Get in on this and grab a hardcover while you can.
