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.
