The Life and Times of Savior 28!

1233648369_hes3fo0l51 My good friend, Mike Cavallaro, has just posted a preview to his latest masterpiece, "The Life and Times of Savior 28." Written by J.M. DeMatteis, this promises to be an exciting and groundbreaking take on the superhero genre. I urge all of you out there to ask your local retailer to carry this book. You will not be disappointed. Why take my word on it? Mike has posted a preview of issue one over at comicspace. It features a variant cover by comic book legends Sal Buscema and Joe Sinnott. Check it out HERE:

He is the first, and greatest, super hero: an American legend. But when tragedy forces Savior 28 to question the very beliefs that have guided him for sixty years, his life begins to unravel and his nation turns against him.

Join writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Mike Cavallaro on S-28's dizzying journey through six decades of politics, pop culture and spiritual search—in a mini-series that turns the super hero genre inside out.

The Life And Times of Savior 28 a six-issue limited series by J.M. DeMatteis & Mike Cavallaro beginning March 2009 from IDW Publishing

FC 32pg $3.99 Diamond Previews Catalog Item Code:  JAN094271

The Transmigration of ULTRA-lad! Best Webcomic of 2008!

[singlepic id=422 w=500 h= rel="lightbox" float="center"]My Act-i-vate webcomic, The Transmigration of ULTRA-lad! has just been dealt a significant honor by being named Comic Critique's Best Webcomic of 2008! Thank you so much, Adam McGovern and thank you Comic Critique! This is not something I expected seeing how this project is still very young but it's a welcome affirmation of my hard work.

Here's what Adam has to say,

2008 Eisner nominee Infurnari is standing at a celestial height from which the award’s namesake, the architects of early MAD, C.C. Beck, Chris Ware and Honoré Daumier can be seen clearly and their unlikely connections traced. ULTRA-Lad is faux-antiqued on simulated decomposing yellow paper in the most elegant of high-tech media, but “retro” doesn’t begin to describe this multi-directional ricochet from print-pop prehistory to the horizons of storytelling and up and down through the many layers of what it could be and never was. This is happy-warrior hero fiction better than what you remember, and dark Manichean meta-adventure with more indomitable charm than anyone else has realized is possible. Infurnari weaves a hallucinatory spell and enfolds the reader in immersive atmospheres with the lushest of stark ink and the most sparing of edible color. ULTRA-Lad is stream-of-consciousness storytelling from deep fairytale forests and the basements of mad geniuses far below utopian skyscraper kingdoms that never came. It seems random because the ideas fire so fast and assuredly that there’s no time for the artist to need overthinking or the reader to second-guess the cortical level at which the agile wordplay, dizzying humor, turbulent emotional shadings and acrobatic line enter present consciousness and comic history. It’s coming through to our continuum one page a week, completely free and pricelessly promising.

Thanks, everybody! I sincerely appreciate your loyalty, support and readership.

ULTRA-lad!s back! My apologies for the interruption. I hope this installment makes up for it. This week we return to the color Sunday format with another one of Dr. Sardon's diabolical machinations. This week he's discovered a way to suck the souls of a slew of prison inmates with hopes of then spilling the meanies all over New Crown City! You'll not want to miss this one, folks!

See you next week! In the meantime, on with the links!

It's Official: Jersey Gods!

jgimagead.jpg 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!
