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.

Over the last couple weeks I've been working on a short story for an upcoming Marvel comic. Yes, this is my first invite into the House of Ideas and I can't wait to show you what I did! The above image will have to do for now. I'll keep you posted with maybe some more art previews as we get closer to showtime.
In the meantime, you can always take a look at the new Facebook group for XOXOs! There you will find some sneak peaks at upcoming projects by myself as well as studiomate, George O'Connor. Whaddaya waiting for!? Git!
Concerned about the fate of Lilly Dainty? Ever wonder what happens to Timothy Janus when he becomes ULTRA-lad!? Click the banner above or the links below to find out!
