Comics Update
I’m back. I know, finally. It’s been far, far too long, but I will try and do a better job providing updates on all the latest comics endeavors. There’s a lot of reasons for the long delay, not the least of which includes a horrible accident to my former co-worker’s wife earlier this year and their reassignment to Washington, DC for her long-term care. That’s left me alone at my day job, trying to keep up with a load that’s normally handled by 2 people.
All that aside, here’s where the comics stand now. My first comic from Marvel, a 10-page story in Giant-Size Avengers Special #1, came out just before the end of 2008. It did great in sales, coming in 57th for that month and outselling Ultimate Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Punisher War Journal, and Iron Fist! Not bad considering it was a giant-size $5 comic. I was able to do a lot of interviews and spoke at a couple of great comic conventions in Israel (thanks to everyone who helped arrange those).
For my webcomic, Devolution, things continue to move along. As of today, we have the 5th installment of issue 3 posted, with 2 installments left to go before moving on to the 4th and final issue. It’s a great last issue, so I hope everyone will check out what we’re doing at www.ComicCritique.com. Once Devolution is wrapped up, I know what will be the next two projects to appear at ComicCritique.com, both featuring art from Devolution team members.
And finally, I’m hard at work on two more short projects for Marvel. I won’t go into any more just yet, but I can’t wait to share what these are. I truly believe I was a perfect fit for both these stories, and I’m having a blast working with editors Steve Wacker and Tom Brennan on one and John Barber and Michael Horwitz on the other. More news on this to come.
Thanks to all for reading. Remember if you have comments on Devolution, feel free to write and let me know what you think at DevolutionComic@gmail.com.
