Magneto vs. SHIELD (Newsarama Interview)
In just a few short weeks, the first issue of MAGNETO will hit the stands! In the meantime, I spoke with Newsarama about the series, revealing some of my thoughts on what makes a guy like Magneto tick.

And here’s a hint of things to come in the second issue:

• Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. catches a glimpse of Magneto’s new band of followers…

More Sinestro Details!
Artist Dale Eaglesham and I spoke with Comic Book Resources about the upcoming SINESTRO series from DC. Give the interview a read to get a hint of what we have in store for the greatest lantern of two Corps.
Also, the second issue has been solicited, and here’s a look at what you’ll find in that issue!
Sinestro’s face-to-face with the Yellow Lanterns, the Corps he built in his own image – but does he like what he sees? Or does he look upon his works and despair? It’s time to find out if the Sinestro Corps is strong enough for the mission he has in mind for them – and if they’re not, then they won’t stand a chance against the growing threat of the Pale Vicars!

The Remains … Coming Soon From MonkeyBrain Comics!
I’m really excited to announced this new project–THE REMAINS, a 4-issue horror series to be published by MonkeyBrain Comics. This bone-chilling tale of terror is gorgeously illustrated by A.C. Zamudio and colored by Carlos Nicolas Zamudio. It will be available digitally through ComiXology on February 26th.
“The dead rats danced the day the hired man came around.”
Birdie and her younger sister Abigail live on a struggling farm. Their mother is several months pregnant and their father suffers from crippling rheumatism. When an itinerant farmhand appears, the children should be relieved. Instead, they find their lives spiraling into nightmare. The hired man regards Birdie with menacing desire. To make matters much worse, wherever he goes, the dead grow restless. As the horror threatens to consume her home and her family, Birdie is haunted by a chilling warning:
Some secrets are meant only for the dead.
The book will be available on ComiXology, and you can pre-order the first issue and subscribe to the series now!
Here’s a look at the first few pages of Issue 1.

Parental Supervision
Here’s a blast from the past! Some of my first published work in comics, a one-page strip from the pages of Futurequake! This was part of a contest to tell a one-page sci-fi story, and I went with something trippy and fun. It won the contest and was illustrated by Inaki Miranda and colored by Eva de la Cruz.
After all this time, I still like it. I hope ya dig it!

Script: Helheim #1
It’s about time I shared another of my scripts, don’t ya think?
Presented here is the entire script for the first issue. I haven’t changed a thing since I first sent it off, so you’ll see all the errors and typos in their ugly glory. It might be interesting for you to compare this script to the script for The Sixth Gun, which I posted some time ago.
If you haven’t read Helheim, now’s the time! You can purchase issues on ComiXology right now. Read the first issue to compare the art to the script, then read all the rest because, y’know, they’re awesome.
Here’s the script!
Helheim 1 (.doc format)
I hope this is helpful! If you’re an artist interested in putting together sample pages based on this script, I’d love to see what you do! If you’re a writer, please let me know if this proved useful for you! For more about my process, check out the “plot to script” post i did a few weeks back!
