Art by Neil Googe and Jonny Rench

For those of you who aren’t partying it up out here in good ol’ San Diego, we’ve got a ton of news coming. We had so much to talk about on the panel this year that I’m only able to cover some of the WildStorm Universe highlights:

- WildCats has a new regular team with issue #19 - none other than Adam Beechen, writer of WildStorm’s own Killapalooza, and artist Tim Seeley.

- Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman take on The Authority with issue #17. Artist Al Barrionuevo joins the team a month later with issue #18.

- Phil Hester and Cruddie Torian jump in on the Gen13 action with issue #33.

- Welcome to Tranquility is back with a new miniseries! Gail Simone and Horacio Domingues revisit Tranquility in One Foot In The Grave - with covers by the always top-notch Neil Googe.

So much to say, so little time. Tune in next week for more details!

As Ben mentioned a few days ago, the extremely talented Neil Googe is taking a bow from WildCats after 12 stellar issues and moving on to new projects. We’re going to miss him, but not to worry, folks – the book’s in very good hands.

Let’s take a quick peek at some of Neil’s pencils for issue #12, on sale this Wednesday.

Exclusive preview time, everyone! The incomparable Shawn Moll and Drew Geraci will be taking over WILDCATS for a six-issue stint beginning next month (#13-18), as stalwart Neil Googe moves on to another project. I’ve worked with both of these terrific artists before: Shawn helped tell the definitive story of Pamela Voorhees in a two-issue FRIDAY THE 13th arc several years back…and Drew inked Carlo Barberi’s run on GEN13. Both of these guys are uber-talented, hardworking artists, and all-around great guys. Here’s your chance to take a sneak peek at the art!
