Time for some shameless self-promotion, dear readers.
Please go gather up your Diamond Comics Catalog. The one you picked up on Friday, when the new comics blew into town. Go ahead…I’ll wait.
…
Very good, then. Flip to Page 147 and you’ll see my new comic book, available for pre-order from your local comics shop right now. It’s called The Revenant (JAN08 2052) and its a supernatural tale of crime and severe, brutal punishment as a gunslinging ghost visits unholy revenge on the gangsters that wronged him.
I wrote the book from a story and concept by none other than Keith Giffen and Shannon Eric Denton (the guys who brought you “10” and “Zapt!”). Mateus Santolouco provides the artwork and the stunning covers! It’s published by Image under Jim Valentino’s Shadowline imprint.
It’s been savage, fun to work on and I hope you’ll dig it too! Go to TheRevenantComic.com for more info and previews and all the latest news. Then bug your comics shop retailer and be sure to give them the ordering code: JAN082052.
But wait! There’s more!
Another book that needs some hype is the Grunts (JAN08 3356) TPB found on page 218 of the catalog.
This is a collection of the Arcana Comics mini-series written (once again) by Giffen and Denton and illustrated by “Mad” Matt Jacobs.
Ignore the solicitation copy in the catalog. The page count is actually around 180 pages (not 100 as stated in the catalog), which is an awesome value for $14.95. The entire paragraph is an inexplicable misprint. Instead, read it as:
During World War Two, an American squad encounters a German superhuman assault squad and starts a Eugenics Race that carries into present day.
Now, the reason for the hype is: the TPB is like a super-deluxe edition DVD, jam-packed with extra material! We’re not talking about a few pinups or a printed script.
Nope. Instead you get over a dirty half-dozen new stories featuring America’s fighting men, including one written by me! Other great writers contributing to the book include Marc Bernardin/Adam Freeman (The Highwaymen), Kevin Grevioux (New Warriors), Christopher E. Long (Easy Way), Dwight MacPherson (Archibald Saves Christmas), Howard Wong (After The Cape) and Mike Bullock (Lions, Tigers, and Bears) to name a few.
We all ran Matt Jacobs ragged coming up with new tales for him to illustrate. The guy’s a machine!
The diamond code for this jam-packed bad boy is JAN08 3356.
Both books are due out in March, but you want to ask for them now to make sure they’ll be in stock!
