Third issue of Farscape: Gone and Back is completed.
If you follow my blog daily, it'll look like I'm slackin', but I'm not. I've been working on several books here and there, a page here, a few pages there, etc.
Farscape gets it's own regular monthly series starting in November. I just finished lettering this issue. It was a trip working on this since it's slated to come out after the current mini-series: "Gone and Back" (which I have half finished). But some elements from that mini-series get brought up in this issue so any surprises are ruined for me!
This was a great issue to letter! It had all the cool X-Men characters I grew up reading, plus some other cool things like Nick Fury, and most of all -- and I just found this out since I didn't get to do a credits box -- it's illustrated by Steve Scott. I worked with Steve on one of the BloodRayne books I published a couple years back. Man, small world.
Very productive week for me. Just finished D'argo #2.
Got home tonight (Wednesday) and there was a voicemail telling me the art for this issue was now on the server. The voicemail also mentions the issue had to be lettered by tomorrow. Nice. One day turn-a-round. I haven't done one of those in ages. So 3 hours later, I'm uploading a mock-up of the whole issue... lettered.
Two number sixes in a row. That's gonna stand for something. Don't know what.
The last issue of Prototype has been lettered and waiting for the final word. As always in this biz, when you finish a mini-series, you get another one to replace it and I'm extremely happy to be working on the next title. It's another comic based on a video game property. Something huge. Something I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun with!
Die Hard is one of my favorite movies. Even the sequels are decent. But that wasn't the only reason I wanted to letter this series, it's because of Howard Chaykin. I loved his American Flagg series, even DC's The Shadow, and basically everything else he worked on.
Sweet book! I like lettering larger books because you can really get into some stories. Here's another example of how you always run into peeps you know. This issue is illustrated by Sanford Greene, DWP #4 readers will remember he drew the cover for that issue. And the cover for this issue is drawn by Michael Golden who also did the Demon's Regret covers we published through the Digital Webbing line.
I actually worked on this book a couple months ago for Archaia Studios and it's just now showing up in Diamond Previews. I couldn't post it here until it was made public, so here it is! It's from the same team that worked on Spooks over at Devil's Due, so it's impressive.
This was a tough issue because of deadline. I stayed right up with the artist and delivered lettered pages as they rolled in. Four down, one to go! Not sure which title I'll pick up to replace this since the mini-series is over.
