Devolution ends! And new Marvel work!

Hi everyone. This is long, long overdue. I wanted to catch everyone up to date on what’s going on with my latest comics work. So, after a long time, the 4-issue Devolution series is finally complete. The entire series can now be viewed at www.ComicCritique.com. And it looks great thanks to penciler Jake Bilbao, inkers Ignacio Calero, Howard Simpson, and Christian N. St. Pierre, and the perfect, precise lettering of Chris Studabaker. I also want to thank the ComicCritique.com owner/managing editor, Louis Vitela, for his efforst to get the series out there. I learned a tremendous amount from writing and editing Devolution, and now my hope is to work on a screenplay and/or novel version of the story. It’s perfect as a low-budget horror movie, so I’ll have to get to work on that.

As for Marvel Comics, work continues on. My second story to be released from Marvel has just hit the shelves. I have a story featuring Israeli superhero Sabra in a title called Astonishing Tales #6, and it hit the shelves on Wednesday, 1 July. I couldn’t be more excited. And now I find myself working on another story, to be announced later. That story has landed artist Jake Bilbao, my Devolution partner, as the penciler, which gives Jake his first Marvel work. I couldn’t be more excited for the exposure he’s about to get. He completely deserves it.

That’s the latest in my comics work. I continue to pitch work to Marvel, and I’m soon to start another independent project, adapting a novel I wrote many years ago titled The Calling. It’s a great science fiction adventure that will have a lot great visuals. For now, the plan is to have it illustrated from my Devolution inker Christian N. St. Pierre. We’re in the early stages of working out the details. More to come on that.

Thanks for reading, and see you in the comics.

Matt
