The Walking Dead #51 cover
January 16th, 2008

It’s kind of a shame that most people rarely see Charlie Adlard’s art in stark black and white… it’s really damn good looking.  This cover is especially awesome so I thought I would show it off a bit early.

Enjoy!

Ultimate X-Men, I hardly knew ye.
December 28th, 2007

So, just wanted to pop on here and let everyone know that issue 93 will in fact be my final issue of Ultimate X-Men.

ultxmen091.jpg

A few weeks ago series editor Ralph Macchio and I were discussing what I would do after the upcoming APOCALYPSE story arc.  This arc is something my run on the book has been building toward since I was given the regular writing assignment with issue 75 (issue 66-74 was supposed to be a fill-in arc).  Everything I’ve done in the book thus far has been building to this and the thought of continuing after I’d completed my grand plan seemed like overstaying my welcome, frankly.  I will have said everything I wanted and done everything I set out to do… so it seemed the time was right.

I think when it’s all over people will see that APOCALYPSE is the perfect time to leave, a great way to leave my mark on the book and so I’ve decided to let that be my swan song on the title.  In the end, I was hired for 9 issues and ended up doing 28 issues and an annual… not a bad run for a title these days, and I ALMOST… ALMOST wrote as many issues as Mark Millar did… and believe me, I did consider staying on just to break his record… but that just didn’t seem right.

So there you go… Apocalypse is it for me!  It was fun while it lasted, but I’m really looking forward to what’s coming up next for me and I’m sure you’ll all be hearing about that very soon.

OMG, an update!
December 26th, 2007

Sorry, Christmas and all.

I didn’t mean to go silent for so long.  I’ll try to make up for it over the next week or so.  I’ve got more than a few things to share/post about.

I hope you all had a merry holidaywhatever and I hope you all have as kick-ass a 2008 as I’m hoping to have.  Good times.

In other news, I just could not wait to share this awesome little ditty with you.  BEHOLD!  The cover to BRIT #9 by Ryan Ottley and Kelsey Shannon.  How could you NOT buy this book?

Brit #9

Pretty darn awesome, eh?

ZOMBIE BUST CONTEST
December 14th, 2007

Clayburn Moore, sculptor supreme, is holding a contest to guess the name of the next zombie torso statue. There’s all kinds of cool prizes to be had, and be sure to buy a statue or two while you’re there.

What are you waiting for?

I’ll give you a hint–it’s a character from the book, who’s never been shown as a zombie before. Good luck!
