Leading up to the release of Jersey Gods #3 and the start of Tales from the Great War I got a chance to chat with Mark Waid about the project. The results of our little exchange are now up online at Comic Book Resources. Here’s an excerpt:
MW: Am I giving you enough flexibility and freedom with these scripts?
JI: Well, let me see. For the first script, I added a panel to draw out a moment and it seemed to slip past you at the layout, pencil and inking stages. When it came to doing the second script, I was emboldened enough to add a few insert panels here and there. Those seemed to get past you, too! The way I see things going, I pretty much have carte blanche to do whatever I want. Here’s an exclusive scoop: readers can expect to see Pirate Clown Centaurs invade the Jersey Gods Universe by part three! Part four!? The sky’s the limit!
In all seriousness, the scripts have afforded me a lot of room to play. I get the pleasure of imagining and creating a lot of characters to populate this world and within that there is a fair amount of breadth. There are drunken pretty girls, titanic monsters and a host of Kirby-style heroes that I have had the pleasure of bringing to life. That also touches on another great thing about these scripts, their wonderful blend of supercharged action, humor and intergenerational family drama! They are a lot of fun.
And there’s lots more where that came from! Go read the entire piece here:
I recently just finished the art for the second installment of the backup story penned by Mark Waid, Tales from the Great War. Above you’ll find page 1 that will be in issue 4 of Jersey Gods. I’ll have more as we get closer to street date.
Rus Wooton, letterer for Jersey Gods, just sent me the final lettered pages for my backup story. I’m so psyched about them that I had to share. This is the very first panel of my story slated to appear in issue 3 due out in April!
It’s official! Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on illustrating a backup story written by Mark Waid for the upcoming Image comic, Jersey Gods! As we get closer to the release date, I’ll have some art samples up here to have you absolutely salivating for what promises to be a fun and exciting release. I can’t take all the credit for this, either. Glen Brunswick and the dynamic, Dan McDaid, have packed the main storyline with tons o’ fun that’s not to be missed! Oh yeah, that’s a Paul Pope cover to top it all off!
