A Busier Month
What is it about June? Last year at this time I wrote a post about how busy the month was going to be. This year, June is even busier. 6/3 sees the release of Green Lantern #41, the first issue in the new creative direction for the series. It’s a new look and new adventures for Hal, all amazingly rendered by Billy Tan, Mark Irwin, Alex Sinclair, and Tony Aviña, with Dave Sharpe providing letters.
The following Wednesday, on 6/10, I’m celebrating the 25th anniversary of Valiant Comics with a special one-shot issue revealing the origin of the X-O Manowar armor. It’s a story I’ve been waiting to tell for a long time, and I’m happy to have the chance to do so with CAFU and Brian Reber, and Dave Sharpe again.
The week after has two releases. On 6/16, my debut kids novel with illustrator Dusty Higgins, Miles Taylor and the Golden Cape: Attack of the Alien Horde, will be in bookstores everywhere. I’ve been working on this story in one form or another for over ten years, and I couldn’t be more excited about seeing it on shelves. The next day, 6/17, Diego Bernard, Ryan Winn, Brian Reber, and Dave Sharpe (he’s everywhere!) join me for X-O Manowar #37, the final issue in the “Dead Hand” storyline.
Last, 6/24 brings The Flash #41, another new direction for one of DC Entertainment’s marquee characters. My good friend—and cowriter—Van Jensen and I are bringing back Barry Allen’s greatest nemesis, Professor Zoom. Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, Andrew Dalhouse, and Pat Brousseau bring it all to the page.
If you’re picking one or more of those titles this month, I can’t thank you enough. I hope you enjoy them!
