[singlepic id=498 w=500 h= float=center rel="lightbox"]Well it's official, my first Marvel comics gig will be released this June. Here's the listing:
UNCANNY X-MEN: FIRST CLASS GIANT-SIZE SPECIAL #1 Written by JEFF PARKER, SCOTT GRAY & ROGER LANGRIGDE Art by CRAIG ROUSSEAU, CAMERON STEWART, DENNIS CALERO, SEAN GALLOWAY, DAVID WILLIAMS, JEFF PARKER & JOE INFURNARI Cover by SKOTTIE YOUNG The original X-Men have left the building, and their replacements have arrived!

The 8-year-old Storm enters the deadly Museum of Set! Banshee clashes with the hordes of Irish myth! Nightcrawler fights alongside his circus family! Colossus battles to save his friends in Siberia! And at long last, Wolverine reveals his slice-your-heart-and-hope-to-die true origin in ‘The Man from S.N.I.K.T.’! 40 PGS./One-Shot/Rated A …$3.99
This sure is a real point of pride for me. I think back to my youth spent poring over Stan Lee and John Buscema's How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way and the number of times that I heard kids tell me they'd see my name in Marvel comics. I never believed them and I'm surprised and a little proud of myself for this. My cap just got a feather! I'll have more broohaha as the release date approaches.
On Act-i-vate, there is a special preview of "Tales from the Great War", the Jersey Gods backup story by Mark Waid and myself. Part one of this story will be in stores tomorrow, April 1st 2009, in Jersey Gods #3. If you enjoy the preview, please pick up a copy and read the rest.

Thank you!
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:
As some of you may remember, I had the good fortune of having a story included in the Next Door Neighbor series of webcomics at SMITH magazine. Well, the good folks at Radar did a small, 3 minute documentary about Next Door Neighbor and the whole comics scene happening at Deep6 and XOXOs. Yours truly played the crazy and for my efforts, I get a little love from the camera. Click the link above to watch the episode.
Many thanks to Alex, Lance and the rest of the crew at www.radar.workbookproject.com for their hard work and talent in putting together this piece that makes all of us look so good.
