To coincide with the release of WASTELAND #14, I did an interview for the Comixology podcast that’s now available. The focus is mostly on WASTELAND, but we also went off into general areas like my background, use of language, and more. Hear me ramble on about etymology!

You can download it directly from the Comixology site, or click here to get it through iTunes.

 

WASTELAND #14 goes on sale this Wednesday in America, Thursday in Europe.

This is another ‘interlude’ issue, a self-contained story between the major story arcs, and features the guest art of Joe Infurnari. It’s titled DEATH WALKS BEHIND YOU (gotta love the old school), the order code is NOV073750, and here’s the solicitation text:

When a mysterious stranger arrived in Providence it changed the lives of Doc, Abi, and the rest of the town forever… But that wasn’t Michael’s first visit! Series writer Antony Johnston and Special Guest artist Joe Infurnari (BORROWED TIME) spin a tale from the ruin runner’s past that holds hints of his future!

 

I saw the printer’s proof of DEAD SPACE #1 yesterday, and it looks stunning. Prequels are always a hard gig to pull off, because you have to tell a good story without giving too much of the main story away (i.e. the game, which is released on Halloween this year). But I think this is a good one. Quite proud of it, actually.

Ben and I will be at WonderCon next month to promote it. I believe there’ll be a short-run convention special of the first issue on sale there, and EA say they have some other promotional events lined up (though I have no idea what).

In other news, I’m about to start work on the WOLVERINE manga, I’ll shortly be writing WASTELAND #18, I’m contributing to the upcoming Tori Amos COMIC BOOK TATTOO anthology, and working apace on another of those left-field projects I mentioned a while back. Still can’t talk about it yet, though. Shame, it’s really cool.

And that’s about it for now (oh, is that all?!). WASTELAND #14 will be on sale shortly – when I know the exact date, I’ll let everyone know. Until then, it’s back to the grindstone for me…

 

Apparently Bottero Edizioni will be publishing an Italian version of THREE DAYS IN EUROPE, presumably some time in 2008. All I need now is Switzerland for 20 reinforcements.*

*Wow, nerdy.
