24th February 2009 / Wasteland / On Sale / Pre-order
WASTELAND #24 goes on sale this week (a week or two later than originally scheduled, for which we apologise, but these things happen).
This issue is “Dog Eat Dog”, the final part of the Dog Tribes story arc. Here’s the solicit text:
The Dog Tribe marriage is over, giving Michael, Abi and Gerr the chance to escape while Alpha Rover carries out his treacherous plan! But can they make it out of the tribe’s territory alive? Who will help them when they need it most?
(Who indeed? As if you couldn’t guess.)
The order code is DEC084183, on sale from comic stores everywhere.
March is a skip month for WASTELAND, because Christopher is currently beavering away on “Planet Caravan”, our special anniversary 25th issue. I’ve seen his first few colour pages, and they look fantastic. More news on that closer to its release.
The code for issue #25 is JAN094382, by the way, and we strongly encourage you to pre-order, because the chances of us going back to print on a double-sized, full-colour issue are very much zero.
13th February 2009 / Wasteland / Wolverine / Musings
So apart from my Superbowl musings, I’ve been quiet the past few weeks. Why? A simple combination of lots of work, not attending NYCC (but wishing I could have, as by all accounts it was pretty great), and not having anything on sale just yet (WASTELAND #24 is delayed slightly, should be out in a week or two).
So what’s all this work? Well, WASTELAND #26 for one thing. That may sound perilously close, but painting (yes, painting) #25 in full colour is going to keep Chris busy for a while, and the rest of the arc will be much easier for me than this opening issue (no, it’s not another Sand-Eater issue! You’ll understand when you see it).
I’m also into the second half of WOLVERINE Vol. 2, which I’m told was well-anticipated by the NYCC crowd. I’m glad to hear it, obviously, but there’s one thing I want to make clear. According to the most comprehensive report of the Del Rey panel I’ve yet seen, WOLVERINE was touted as “featur[ing] a young, untamed Logan before he got claws.”
Now, I have no idea if that’s a direct quote from somebody at Del Rey, or the reporter paraphrasing and/or assuming, but, uh, it’s not true. He has his claws popped right there on the cover, for goodness’ sake. One thing that I’ve seen mentioned is true, however; this isn’t the Wolverine you know, and requires absolutely no knowledge of Marvel characters or continuity to enjoy. I promise.
Finally, I’m working on a couple of Super Seekrit things, as is so often the case. One of them is taking up a great deal of time; the other is a pitch for a series that, if it sells, will take up a great deal of time in the future. Fun!
And I leave you with this blow-by-blow account of that Steelers drive. Awesome.
