This past weekend I was a guest on an indie comics panel at Phoenix Fan Fusion. This was my first panel in almost seven years and it felt really good to get back in front of an audience again. By next year, we should be close to wrapping our first trade for Shadowblade and we’re talking about getting a panel together dedicated to the project. Watch this space!
Kevin and I will be at the Velma Teague library in Glendale for Free Comic Book Day signing Shadowblade all day today! Come on out and say hi! We have variants and a sneak peak at issue #2!
We’re proud to announce that Shadowblade issue #1 is out now. We’re launching this weekend at Tucson Comic Con! Stop by and say hi!
After a few years of development hiatus while we worked on Dr. Saville’s Horror Show, I can finally announce that we have started work on our next big project, Shadowblade.
Shadowblade is going to be both a comic book series and a movie series and the coming weeks and months we will be sharing a behind the scenes look at the development of the project.
To get us started, here is a look at Kalli, one of our two lead protagonists in the series. This series of images shows the creative process from script to lettering. As the first issue is still in development, there may be minor changes to the lettering and coloring, but this shows the overall feel for the project. My writing partner, Kevin, is the colorist on the series and he has previously colored for Marvel on such franchises as X-Men and G.I. Joe.
