20th March 2009 / Wolverine / Pre-order

Something nice for the weekend: the first advance reviews of WOLVERINE: PRODIGAL SON are in, at ICV2 and Bookrastination (Also, bonus: both reviewers spelt my name correctly. Wonders will never cease).

 

17th March 2009 / Interviews

Speaking of interviews: I appeared on Kerrang! Radio Sunday night, on the Night Before show, talking about comics to movies, writing videogames, and geeking out about RPGs.

This was particularly enjoyable for me, as I was an avid Kerrang! reader back in the day, and the radio station is based in Birmingham, where I was born. Nice.

If you missed it, you can listen to the show online — click on the Sunday Show link.

[ADDENDUM: Apparently the player on that page requires Internet Explorer, which I didn’t realise, sorry. You can download the relevant excerpt as an MP3 here.]

 

17th March 2009 / Alan Moore / Interviews / On Sale

Wide distribution of LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE commences tomorrow, apparently. What that means is that every store that’s ordered copies should have it, and/or can re-order it with confidence.

To coincide with this, I was interviewed by Hypergeek about the book, and my adaptation process (which is very hard to define, as it’s mostly about whether or not something “feels right”). The interview’s now live, and you can click here to read it.

In other news, everyone’s gearing up for the launch of WOLVERINE: PRODIGAL SON, Volume 1 on April 7th. Expect to see a few interviews, PR pieces, etc. about that popping up over the next few weeks.

 

8th March 2009 / Alan Moore / On Sale

Speaking of my Alan Moore adaptations, I’m also told that LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE is now finally available in stores.

(Distribution has been spotty, which is probably why I wasn’t even sure it was out, but there are definitely copies out there.)

 

8th March 2009 / Alan Moore / Musings

I’ve been working away for a few days, but returned to find that the New York Times has finally started to produce a bestseller list for graphic novels.

This in itself is a very good thing, but I was even more pleased to see that the new colour edition of THE COURTYARD is at #7 on the softcover list. Nice!

 

1st March 2009 / Dead Space / Videogames

I’ve been informed that I can officially announce what a few people already guessed — I’m scripting DEAD SPACE: EXTRACTION, the new game for the Wii.

Obviously what I can’t do is go into any detail yet. But I can say the following:

I’ve seen the game, and it looks incredible for the Wii;

The voice cast is great, including a couple of names you’ll recognise;

The story is strong, with a big emphasis on character;

I think the on-rails-haters will be pleasantly surprised at how much gameplay variety has been packed in.

That’s all I can say for now, but there’ll be plenty more closer to release.
