Yes, indeedy, EMPOWERED won't ship until next week, but the third issue of IRON MAN: HYPERVELOCITY, the ongoing miniseries I wrote and laid out for Marvel, should be hitting the shelves today! Woo hoo!
In honor of that issue's debut, I've posted a bunch o' layout pages from an important scene in the book... which means it's time for a SPOILER ALERT!
If possible, read the actual, published issue first, then check out these layout pages, to see a few changes that took place...
One of the major differences between layouts and final comic involved the dialogue spoken by viral avatar "Absynthe," here... Originally, she continually addressed Tony Stark 2.0 in a highly degrading and oversexualized manner; needless to say, I had to tone down her dialogue a LOT for the printed page. Oops!
"What do you mean, I can't have her repeatedly refer to Tony Stark as being a 'slut'? That'd be an improvement over what most comics fans were calling him during CIVIL WAR...!" Oh, well.
Anyhoo, the published issue features pretty, pretty art by Brian Denham* with sweet colors by Guru eFX, and hits the stands today (March 7, '07). Check it out, if you can.
Side note: I'd like to make it clear to any artists I might work with that I do not, repeat NOT normally do layouts anywhere near this tight and restrictive... A "perfect storm" of complications arose to make this approach necessary (a highly technical book requiring new design work and very specific action; also, we didn't line up an artist until after this issue, IIRC). I'm hopeful to ne'er again have to do this sorta thing to another artist.
Well, back to the word processor, for some IRON MAN #4 corrections... Have a good one, ever'body.

See you at Baltimore Comic-Con, October 18-20!
Once again, I'm headed down to Maryland this weekend for Baltimore Comic-Con, my final convention of the year. Had a great time at the show in 2018, so a repeat visit seemed like a fine way to wrap up 2019's con season.
I'll be set up at the Hero Initiative booth (#2205) for all three days of the convention, raising some bucks for that fine charity (which helps comics creators in need) while attending to all your signing and sketching (and commissioning?) needs. I'll also bring along a fair bit of original artwork, plus some recently unearthed copies of older works, and maybe a copy or two of Empowered vol.11. Drop by and say hi if you're at
See you at Heroes Con, June 14-16!
Once again, I'll be journeying to Heroes Con in Charlotte this weekend (I do love that show), where I'll be set up at Artist Alley table AA-1817 for all your signing, sketching, commissioning and/or original-art-buying needs! (Plus I'll have a bunch of comics on sale, including a batch of recently unearthed Dirty Pair: Sim Hell and Bubblegum Crisis: Grand Mal issues.) Drop by and say hi, won't you?
Seee you at Phoenix Fan Fusion, May 23-26!
Courtesy of the fine folks at the Hero Initiative charity, I'll be flying out to attend the Phoenix Fan Fusion show this weekend. Never been to Arizona in my whole goshdarned life, so this should be a novel experience! I'll be set up at the Hero Initiative booth (#396) for all your signing and sketching needs; donations to Hero, which supports comics creators in need, would be much appreciated. If you happen to be attending, drop on by and say hi, won't you?
See you at Emerald City Comic-Con, March 14-17!
Once again, I'll be tabling in Artist Alley at the ol' Emerald City Comic-Con, March 14-17. I'll be set up at table Y-7 all convention long for all your signing, sketching, and original-art-perusing needs, along with a fair amount of Empowered backstock in case you're missing any volumes or "floppy" issues. (Might even be bringing some old Dirty Pair issues and Bubblegum Crisis: Grand Mal posters, if you're feeling nostalgic.)
Thursday, March 14, I'm on the Dark Horse panel "Artists Who Write: The Craft and Creation of Comics," from 12:15pm-1:15pm in room TCC L3-R3. Then, later in the day, I'll be signing at the Dark Horse Comics booth (#220
