29th July 2004 / Closer / F-Stop / Nightjar / The Long Haul

Well, the house move is finally done and over with. In truth we moved almost a fortnight ago, but the weeks surrounding that move were filled with renovation, decoration and other boring real life things ending with “-ion”, so the Electric Space Interweb took somewhat of a back seat. Now that we’re in and (mostly) finished, though, it’s back to work.

First up is a rather nice post-San Diego review of CLOSER at Ain’t It Cool News, by someone who definitely seems to have ‘got it’. (I do wish people would stop using the advance cover design, though.)

[Edit: it seems the AICN review actually links to the image on Oni's website, which is also still the advance cover. Which it’s hardly unfair to expect would be the correct version. So, my apologies to AICN.)

NIGHTJAR #2 came out somewhere in June, though you’ll only have seen the wraparound cover featured on the Diamond shipping lists for some reason. I haven’t seen any reviews of it yet, but I was very happy with it myself. Max did a great job of bringing the rather bleak setting of Pendle hill to life. I believe the NIGHTJAR: HOLLOW BONES one-shot should be in stores very soon, and I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction the “flashback story” gets.

YUGGOTH CREATURES #1 should also be in stores any day now, though scheduling always becomes a bit chaotic when American convention season rolls around, so I’ll be double-checking that with Avatar.

So, what next? Well, I’m still ploughing through the Big Avatar Thing that I returned to working on back in June, and I have scripts to finish for F-STOP and THE LONG HAUL. Besides that, though, a few new things have come up over the last few weeks which – now that San Diego is over and I finally have a study I can work in without worrying the walls are going to collapse on me – I can start cracking on with. I should hopefully have at least two pieces of very good news before Autumn.
