SCOOP says you'll want to check out THE REVENANT

Just got emailed this link about my new graphic novel THE REVENANT which gets  a nice recommendation from the Scoop website:

"It's not intended for children (language and violence), but it's a very interesting modern run at the world of pulp adventures and the old tale of criminals who sell out their own. If that's your cup of tea, you'll definitely want to check this one out."

RUE MORGUE spills BLOOD (colored ink) over THE REVENANT

Nice to see my new book THE REVENANT getting some press at Rue Morgue magazine this month! The "Quick Cut featured in their Blood in Four Colours column isn't online so I'm presenting it here:

"Mexico's Dia de los Muertos is fertile ground for horror. The Revenant milks the holiday's potential when the ghost of a murdered gang member returns to settle old scores. Cinematic in its telling, the book is at its heart a gorefest (the aquarium kill in particular is a gruesome treat), but with its whodunnit trail of clues it owes almost as much to Detective Comics and Dick Tracy as it does to Nightmare on Elm Street. Bright colours invoke the festival's essence, and Mat Santolouco's art, though sometimes cartoony, manages to keep things dark. Downsides? It starts slow and Fredd Krueger did the punny dialogue better. But the multiple twists will keep you guessing at the killer's identity and make for a fun ride."

'Sgt. Rock' looks AMAZING

I ran into my pal Billy Tucci at a number of conventions this summer. He was showing of pages of his new 'Sgt. Rock' book.

I have to say they look Amazing (with a capital 'A') and unlike anything I've ever seen Billy do before. Billy's got a deep, abiding respect for our military men and 'Sgt. Rock: The Lost Batallion' looks to weave historical events with the storyline of DC Comic's greatest soldier.

It's in the catalog now, so ask your retailer for it.

Comics Waiting Room digs THE REVENANT

'The Revenant' got some great press from Comics Waiting Room this week:

"THE REVENANT is a darkly humorous and thrilling tale that consistently keeps the reader laughing, guessing and horrified at nearly every turn. This books manages to blend the classic ghost-takes-revenge story idea, a whodunnit mystery and plenty of action sequences into a seamless, fast-paced and immensely enjoyable read."

ThePullBox.com calls 'Revenant' a "thrill ride"

ThePullBox read 'The Revenant' ...and loved it!

The book is a thrill ride… page to page action! The break-neck pacing is supported by some beautiful art that pops in all the right ways… from urban landscapes to decapitations, every page is on the money. This book is like the Sopranos meets the X-files with and integration of classic pulps that does nothing but enhance everything present. The Revenant is a great mixture of genres and Mat Santolouco’s art is almost a genetic match for Rob Worley’s plot.

Grade: no-brainer A

I need to change my picture, I'm not a smoker anymore

My new job is so badass. I'm so excited about it. Now that I've been there and am finally getting used to it all, I'm so freakin happy that I took this one instead of being a pussy and taking the other one. And the best part about it is, it's not just that it's a better job, but I'm pretty damn goos at it, too. The boss otday was telling me about end of the month closing and how last month, they were there until 11:00 entering all of the data for the month of June. But I'm so fast that it shouldn't be such an issue this month. I'm like, really, no way? And she says way, you're faster than me, by a long shot. So how sweet is that? And I know this all seems really lame, like listen to how cool I am, but to be slightly dramatic, I was starved for that kind of attention the last 2 1/2 years. Gay.

Point is things are cool.

YAY FOR ME!
