I originally broke into this business as a penciler. There were a few artists who were breaking big at the time and I so wanted to do what they were doing. One of those artists was Jim Lee. So after a slight (14 years in Hollywood!) detour, here I am. Getting to work with the characters I originally fell in love with some 15 years ago.

In my mind, WildStorm is home to all of Jim’s creations. I’m hoping, now that I’m in the sandbox, we can further establish why these creations are not only incredibly relevant but…fun. I’m having fun. The teams I’m assembling for this are having fun. We’re all answering the battle call to create something fun. Something we’d want to read. Hopefully something you’ll want to read. Blasting from the uber-awesome events of World’s End, we’ll be continuing the charge!

We’ll take a new look at some familiar characters—but also reveal where EVERYONE who was ever in a WildStorm book is currently. Hey, I bought everything WildStorm before starting here…I had questions. Fun thing is now I’m the guy who gets to answer them.

Starting with an epilogue in issue 17 of THE AUTHORITY, Marc Bernardin & Adam Freeman are bringing the interstellar widescreen drama along with superstar artist Al Barrionuevo. This book is going to continue to address the big questions—and, more importantly, provide the big answers in ways you never expected.

On the stellar front, with issue 19 of WILDCATS, Adam Beechen is prepared to give ’Cats fans more action and more characters than they could ever have possibly imagined. Joining him is New York Times bestseller (for Hack/Slash) and powerhouse artist Tim Seeley. I have asked Tim to draw at least 70 characters on each page and so far he’s doubled that every time. This is widescreen action at its very best. It’s everything John Woo dreams about and then some!

So there ya go. As a fan, I’m happy. As a comic book professional, I’m happy. And we’re all hoping you join us for what’s about to be WildStorm’s best year ever!

Storm out!

The Bleed is about to get bloody…

Even though it’s not making its debut until early 2010, we’ve got pages from GARRISON! Writing powerhouse Jeff Mariotte (Cold Black Hearts novels/DESPERADOES) and artistic dynamo Francesco Francavilla (SCALPED/Zorro) join forces with WildStorm on what’s turning out to be a killer story (I should know, I’ve seen the first 5 issues already). The book has everything I like. Action, check. Babes, check. Hi-tech explosive and implosive devices, check. Bullets…lots and lots of bullets…check.

Summer Previews are officially here, people. Let the action begin! You’re about to go for a ride with the most dangerous man in America and hopefully you’ll survive the experience long enough to uncover the hidden truth amongst all the twists and turns this rollercoaster-ride of a comic is about to take you on!
