Hello blogness my old friend. I've come to blog with you again.
So much to catch up on! Like for instance, we are right in the middle of the 5 issue mini series Bebop & Rocksteady Hit The Road! Depending on when you read this, issue 3 is about to come out, or it's out, or it's been out for years and is being celebrated as one of the best single comics ever created. Look, I don't know when you are reading this.
B&R Hit The Road is one that I've written. It's me and Ben Bates, my partner on all the B&R stuff. If you liked any of those comics, you'll like this. Even if you liked my Infinity Gauntlet comic you might like this. (They have things in common. As I write more and more I see some consistent storytelling tendencies.) AND I'm drawing issues 3 and 4! That's Ben Bates on issues 1,2,&5, me on 3&4, and Brittany Peer tying it all together with colors.
Pictured above is my variant cover for B&R Hit the Road #2.
Here are the opening pages from issue #1
Here's a page from issue #3 followed by a photo of panel from #4
This looks fun RIGHT?
Anyway, a closing thought for you: That saying about not seeing the forest for the trees is stupid. Standing back and recognizing there's a forest is of no great value. If you're not getting in there, looking at the trees, learning about the detail, nuance and scope of what's happening in a forest, then do you even know what a forest is? No. So shut up and learn, you forest identifying dummy.

Hey Weaver-Man, looks cool, I'm excited to see it in its whole! Btw, let me a bit off-topic here: any chance to see Dr. Aaron Aikman in the upcoming Spider-verse stuff at Marvel? Also, did you use any of the concepts or characters of your Aikman-story since then in other projects? (Or could you?) It (too) was a great world you created there, I won't forget it.
ReplyDeleteGosh! Sorry about the delay. Not sure how i missed this.
DeleteThanks for the complements on the Spider-Verse story.
I really have no idea what's going on with the new Spider-Verse stuff. They asked me if I wanted to do some covers for it and said I could work Aikman into the covers if I wanted, but I had to turn the job down. I doubt they have any plans to use the characters or the world anytime soon, but they could. Who knows.
