Room 4.

Why I'm probably not answering phone calls any time soon.

The word of the year - BUSY. Actually, "busy" may not cover it.

Let's go down the list...

BATTLEPUG!

My weekly webcomic! If you haven't read it, I'm very sad right now. IT WAS JUST NOMINATED FOR AN EISNER AWARD!!!! Dark Horse Comics is releasing a collection of the first year's worth of story in July. You can order it at your local comic store and online at Amazon or anybody else that sells books! Please buy it!

REVIVAL!

Revival is the ongoing "rural noir" series I'm making with long-time friend and studio-mate, Tim Seeley. It's a spooky story about a small town in Wisconsin where for one day, everyone that dies comes back to life. It's a really exciting book and I hope you dig it! That also starts in July from Image Comics.

IT GIRL and THE ATOMICS!

From the pages of Madman comes IT GIRL! The beautiful hipster with the ability to mimic the properties of anything. Comes out in August from Image. It's written by Jamie S. Rich and colored and lettered by my trusty Battlepug team of Allen Passalaqua and Crank! We promise it to be as ginchy as Madman gets.... Especially since Mike Allred oversees it all!

XEVIOUS

Remember the classic top down arcade spaceship shooter? Well Namco/Bandai and Shifty Look are bringing it back to life. Mike Costa of G.I.JOE fame and I are making it and you can see it ever Thursday and Sunday over at shiftylook.com!

STILL MORE?!?

Yes, believe it or not, I am collaborating again with Jamie McKelvie on a Marvel project. I provided additional art to his stellar work on X-Men Season One which just came out in March. I'm hoping to tell  you what it is soon! Also, I've done my first work as an inker exclusively. I should be able to tell you about that project soon as well as tell you what Archie covers you can find me on soon!

Okay, that's it I think. No, wait...

Next week is gonna be super busy as well. C2E2 is in town next weekend. And my studio is doing a talk here at the downtown Apple store! You should try to make it if you're in the area!

Here's the Schedule!

Wednesday: Apple Store, North Michigan Ave. Chicago, IL

All weekend C2E2: Artist Alley table D1&D2 (with Tim Seeley!)

Saturday, April 14: Video Game Characters Reborn! 6:45-7:45 Room N426b

Sunday, April 15: Chicago Creator's Spotlight. 2:45-3:45 Room S401abc

Whew, I think that's it.

Thanks for all the support, everybody! 

Been a while! (Part 2)

Seems like the only time I update this site lately is to talk about how long it's been in between posts! Sorry about that if you've been coming by to get the latest. I've been turning to things like Twitter and Facebook to update my news items. I'm going to try to update a little more regularly now due to a lot of new projects happening this year.

After finishing Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt last year at Marvel I decide to make a serious effort to do more creator-owned material in 2012. I still have some company work coming out soon (I did background art alongside the talented Jamie McKelvie on Marvel's X-Men Season One graphic novel shipping in March), but you'll mostly be seeing me at other companies this year. I've got new gigs doing new things and I couldn't be more excited.

First up, REVIVAL with good friend and studio-mate, Tim Seeley. I'm not going to give too many details yet on this one... only that it's a completely different sort of book than I usually do and I really think that people are going to dig it. Scary stuff from Tim and I at Image

Next, my webcomic Battlepug will be collected soon. I will be sure to announce details soon.

Then there's the OTHER Image book I'm doing. It's secret... SEEEECCCREEEET!

Finally, Oni Press is collecting all three of my Curse 24 Hour comics into one big hardcover. If you didn't catch it (or did and like it!) this'll be your chance to get it. That comes out in September.

Convention season is already starting! My first appearance will be in London, England this February 25th & 26. I WILL be doing sketches there, but I don't do pre-orders. Just a first come, first serve sort of thing. Prices should still be $40 or whatever that equates to that fancy british money! I'm really looking forward to it!

Been a while!

I've been neglecting the updates lately, but I've been super busy with things like Battlepug and my studios' Double Feature App. I've also been drawing Marvel's Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt comic (You should buy it!). 

But yeah, sorry for the neglect of the site. I will do some more to update this place so that you can get the new sketchbook and see other stuff I'm doing.

Thanks!
