9th December 2003 / Nightjar
Well, the cat’s out of the bag – as reported by Rich Johnston (no relation), the Ongoing Avatar Series I’ve been dropping hints about for the last few months is NIGHTJAR, picking up where Alan Moore and Bryan Talbot’s eight-page opener left off. The artist is Argentinian Max Fiumara, who has drawn THOR for Marvel and was involved in the recent infamous THUNDER AGENTS revival at DC. He’s a stellar artist, as you can see looking at those covers on CBR.
NIGHTJAR will be published in arcs, with a few months’ break between each one, and the first arc – entitled “As The Seasons Turn” – will be four issues. Should be solicited in January…
26th November 2003 / Nightjar / Three Days In Europe
Well, that’s the first 4-issue arc of Avatar Ongoing #1 done. We’re just working through cover designs now, and if all goes to plan it should be solicited in January. I expect it’ll be announced and publicised some time before then, but that’s up to Avatar, not me. Still – I’m very pleased with it. Some of the best writing I’ve done, by my reckoning.
Some of you may have noticed that the collected edition of THREE DAYS IN EUROPE hasn’t yet shipped. It’s not down to Diamond, or your retailer – it’s because there was an error, which was only spotted at the printing stage, and fixing it has pushed the release back by a couple of weeks. It should be out and in stores soon, and definitely in time for the holiday season. I’ve seen a bound proof copy, and it’d make a really nice gift… Hint, hint!
