WASTELAND #45 On Sale

image

WASTELAND #45 goes on sale this week.

‘Fatherland’ is one of our ‘interlude’ issues, a stand-alone one-shot featuring guest art from rising star Omar Olivera.

It shines a light on Jakob’s life in Newbegin after Golden Voice’s execution, and leads directly into the following story arc — which is the conclusion to the city’s story in WASTELAND.

Here’s the solicit text:

In Newbegin, the custom is for men to venerate their fathers. But the last thing Jakob Ofoskorr wants is to look in the mirror and see his own father staring back… Now, with the Sunners facing new dangers and Marcus preparing for an unknown war, can anything drag Jakob out of the doldrums?

The order code for this issue is FEB131091, available from all good comic stores, and from Comixology for digital readers.

You can also read a preview of the issue at Comic Book Resources.

Alex Takes a Beating

Over at The Beat, I spoke to Steve Morris about adapting Alex Rider to comics.

It’s a good, fairly in-depth interview talking about the process and pitfalls of adaptation, why I enjoy doing them, what to look for in the future, and more. Read it here.

WASTELAND #44 On Sale

image

WASTELAND #44 goes on sale this week.

‘The Wreckage of My Flesh’ is the concluding part of the current arc, and signals the beginning of the end — as Michael, Abi, and Thomas are all reunited, and press on to what they hope will be their final destination.

But before that, there are questions to be asked, and clues to be found:

Their long journey through the wasteland is almost over… if Michael, Abi, and Thomas can make it through just one more strange encounter. The people of the valley, tattooed and suspicious, don’t take kindly to intruders. But their Oracle thinks different, and wants to meet these odd people…even if they may not want to meet her!

The order code for this issue is JAN131227, available from all good comic stores, and from Comixology for digital readers.

You can also read a preview of the issue at Comic Book Resources.

joehillsthrills:


Go get the new Brian K. Vaughan comic and then show your love by paying for it. How much do you pay? I don’t know. WHAT’S ‘AWESOME’ WORTH TO YOU?


If my instincts are right (and they’d better be, as I have stuff like this planned myself for the near future) this kind of model will be the new normal before long. Wishing Brian and Marcos the best of luck with it.

Emma Vieceli's Inky Tasty: Calling Alex Rider readers...

inkytasty:

So - *peers out into the web* Do I have any Alex Rider fans following my accounts? I’m just curious. ^_^

I wanted to write a bit of a musing post as I sip my coffee.

I have to say, finishing work on a book can often feel sort of sad as well as an achievement…you miss characters and places a lot,…

I’m very happy to be working with three friends on the new ALEX RIDER graphic novels, and I can’t wait to see how they come out. I’ve already seen some of Emma’s design sketches, and they look great.

The rise of tumblr

That piece about using Fountain to write comics spiked my website traffic by over 500% the past few days.

But here’s something interesting: the vast majority of that traffic came from right here on Tumblr. Second place was John August’s own site, but it’s a distant second. And everything else, even Twitter, is way, way down the chart from those two.

Zombiu: Z-14 Comic Now Available

Last November, in the run-up to ZOMBIU’s release, I worked on a promotional web comic for the game: ZOMBIU: Z-14, showing the first fourteen days of the outbreak and leading directly to the start of the game.

What you may not have realised was that the whole thing was first scripted and drawn as a normal-format comic, then edited and animated for the website.

Well, now you can see it for yourself, as Ubisoft have decided to release the whole story as a free PDF. Just go to the Z-14 website, and scroll all the way to the end; there you’ll find a link, “Download the Comic”, which will auto-download the PDF to your computer.

(NB I’ve categorised this under ‘On Sale’ for expediency; be assured, the download is completely free.)

If you’ve ever wondered what sort of comics British kids grew up with.
