THE ABYSS #2 Now Available

The Abyss #2 (by myself, Cliff Richards, Chris Sotomayor, Carlos Mangual, Rachel Gluckstern, and Rylen Sigman in the writer, artist, colorist, letterer, editor and assistant editor roles) introduces a whole roster of new characters. We present the inner circle of acolytes and three new villains, as well as one of the biggest villains in the Abyss's past; The Red King. You can get it now at Interpop Comics. The first issue is available to read for free. If you purchase a copy, be sure to take place in the voting that will help shape future issues. There are two items to vote on, both of which pertain to the outcome of this storyline. "Do Traitors Deserve a Second Chance?" and "Can the Abyss Defeat the Red King?" Feel free to let me know what you think of this issue in the comments area below.

From the Archives 17

I haven't done one of these in nine years, so I figured it may be time for another run. Having recently moved, hads given me reason to tuck into some boxes that have been stored away and inaccessible. I came across this house ad for the original run of Xombi from Milestone Media that ran in the other titles back in 1994.

There is also a variant edition of The Abyss #1 feauring the stunning cover by Jason Masters as seen above. You can purchase that here. The Lucas Meyer variant cover, shown a couple of posts back, is also still available for purchase here.

I haven't done one of these since before the pandemic began, and with a new comic book series underway (see previous post) i thought it might be time to give it another go. Here's your chance to ask me anything you want, whether it's about my work, influences, what i'm watching, reading, eating, drinking, anything you want at all. Leave me your questions in the comments and I will answer them, either there, or if it requires a lengthy response, in a separate post. You can view previous questions and replys under labels on the right side of this page, by scrolling down. Now ask away.

The Shadow Sisters Win

Voting for the favorite villain in THE ABYSS #1 has been completed, and the winner is the Shadow Sisters, two dimensional twins conjoined at the feet, the Shadow Sisters are excellent at infiltration, but are otherwise a complete mystery.

As to when, stand by. Three new villains will appear in THE ABYSS #2 on sale June 29 at Interpop Comics. In the meantime, issue #1 is still available.
