26th July 2010 / Daredevil / Interviews
No funny headline pun, this time — I was interviewed last week by the team at the Speak of the Devil podcast, a DAREDEVIL-focused show from some of the guys (and ardent DD fans!) behind Legion of Dudes.
We talked about everything from DD to SHADOWLAND: BLOOD ON THE STREETS, WASTELAND, DEAD SPACE, even the differences between creator- and company-owned books, and generally had a very enjoyable chat.
You can get it on iTunes, or download it directly from the Legion of Dudes website.
14th July 2010 / Daredevil / On Sale / Shadowland
As mentioned at the weekend, this week sees the release of DAREDEVIL #508 — today, in fact, if you live in North America.
This is the first part of In The Shadows, the arc which will show readers the ‘other side’ of the SHADOWLAND event, with more emphasis on Matt Murdock, his friends, and the trouble they all find themselves in as DD spirals out of control. Here’s the solicit:
Matt Murdock has long played judge and jury to criminals as Daredevil, but has he now become executioner as well?! SHADOWLAND takes over Daredevil and his friends aren’t about to stand by and lose him on the path he seems destined for. A major player joins the battle as Hell’s Kitchen is about to live up to its name once more!
The order code is MAY100590, it’s on sale in all the usual places, and you can read a preview at CBR.
10th July 2010 / Daredevil / Dead Space / On Sale / Shadowland / Wasteland
Typical. I go on vacation for a week, and it all kicks off. While I was away…
WASTELAND
WASTELAND #29 went on sale. This is the fourth part of the “Enemy Within” story arc, and is a big issue for several reasons. First, here’s the solicit:
The ENEMY WITHIN story arc continues, and this issue Watchman Dexus is in the spotlight! Recent times have been tough for Dexus, as his attempts to control the Newbegin council have apparently come to nought. Now things are about to get even trickier… but the Watchman is nothing if not devious, and the Sunner rebellion might be just the help he needs.
The order code is MAR101107.
Second, this issue marks the departure of regular artist Christopher Mitten, who’s moving on to creative pastures new. Filling his inestimable boots is Remington Veteto, a fresh-faced graduate of SCAD.
Finally, we’ve revamped the official website, thebigwet.com — with a funky new look, cleaner layout, and better organization.
DEAD SPACE
Next up is the news that, yes, I’m working in the DEAD SPACE universe once again. DEAD SPACE IGNITION is an interactive fiction/motion comic/game/experiment that lays the groundwork for next year’s DEAD SPACE 2 with a brand new story, characters, locations and events.
IGNITION will be released this fall, for download on XBLA and PSN. More information on that as and when it’s available.
DAREDEVIL
In DAREDEVIL news, SHADOWLAND #1 went on sale this week, written by Andy Diggle and kicking off this summer’s DD-centric event. You can read a preview of it here…
…And you can also read a preview of DAREDEVIL #508, by Andy and myself. #508 is the first issue of the “In The Shadows” story arc that runs alongside SHADOWLAND itself, and goes on sale next week.
And that’s all she wrote. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a couple of hundred unread emails to plough through…
13th June 2010 / Daredevil / On Sale
So, um, DAREDEVIL #507 went on sale this week, and I completely forgot to mention it here. Whoops. Things are a little hectic right now, which may not be much of an excuse but is certainly one hell of an understatement.
(More on that as and when I’m able — bloody NDAs, sorry — but suffice to say, it’s been pretty much non-stop since about December last year…)
So: This is the final part of the Left Hand Path story arc, and lays the foundations for In The Shadows, which takes place during this summer’s event, SHADOWLAND. Plenty of action, a few answers, and a few new questions. Here’s the solicit:
LEFT HAND PATH concludes as the enemy faced by Daredevil in Japan is revealed as a precursor to the much larger threat awaiting him back in New York. Shadowland is coming…And it will change Matt Murdock forever!
And, because this update is so tardy, I can tell you with confidence that it’s been very well received so far…!
The order code is APR100572, and it’s (still!) on sale in all the usual places.
10th May 2010 / Daredevil / On Sale
In place of a regular issue, this week sees the release of DAREDEVIL: CAGE MATCH, a one-shot story featuring a showdown between the Man Without Fear, and the Hero For Hire!
Before the Shadowland comes, we look back at a bit of brutal history between Luke Cage and Daredevil, revealing a mutual respect that may soon be torn asunder.
That’s the solicit, but to be honest it over-eggs the pudding a little — this story is really just a bit of fun, an homage to the classic Stan Lee-era Daredevil, and a chance to do some character exploration with these two iconic heroes… while they kick the crap out of one another. Good, clean fun, as you can see in this six-page preview at Comic Book Resources.
The issue order code is MAR100529, and it’s out on Wednesday (Thursday in Europe).
28th April 2010 / Daredevil / Interviews / Wasteland
Quick round-up:
17th April 2010 / Daredevil / Shadowland
The big DAREDEVIL summer event has finally been announced: SHADOWLAND, by Andy Diggle and Billy Tan. This will, as you’d expect, tie in to the main DAREDEVIL series quite heavily, and is one of the main reasons I’m sticking around on the title.
If you want to know more, click that link for an interview with Andy. And watch this space, as they say, for some intriguing news in the near future…
12th April 2010 / Daredevil / On Sale / Wasteland
On a brighter note, DAREDEVIL #506 goes on sale this week.
This is the second part of “Left Hand Path”, in which Matt Murdock is rapidly discovering that controlling the Hand ninja clan isn’t quite the cakewalk he imagined it would be…
LEFT HAND PATH continues as Daredevil’s adventure in Japan takes a deadly turn when he finds that one of his closest confidantes in the Hand may be serving another master!
The order code is FEB100501, and it’s on sale in all the usual places. For now, there’s a six-page preview at Comic Book Resources.
(…Also, proving that good things come to those who wait, WASTELAND #28 should be on sale next week. I’ll confirm it here as soon as I’m able.)
26th March 2010 / Daredevil / Interviews
Two new interviews with me, now available for your reading pleasure:
— Comic Book Resources asked me about DAREDEVIL, working with Andy Diggle, and my upcoming DD one-shot Cage Match.
— Meanwhile, Forces of Geek had me up for their 5 Questions feature, talking about influences, pop culture, and comics to movies.
Enjoy.
13th March 2010 / Daredevil
OK, so it seems I’m now able to talk about one of the things I mentioned in yesterday’s post. It’s probably the least surprising of them all, to be honest… Which is to say, I’m sticking around to co-write another arc of DAREDEVIL with Andy Diggle.
The arc will cover issues #508-512, and is called “In The Shadows”. I can’t say any more than that, but I’m pretty sure dedicated fans will like it…
