ANGEL 11 and EVERYBODY'S DEAD 5 out this week!


What a nice surprise! ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL # 11 and EVERYBODY'S DEAD # 5 are out this Wednesday! Pretty exciting stuff, as ANGEL:ATF 11 features the long awaited reunion of...well, one of the covers kinda gives it away, huh? And that's just for starters, there are surprises galore. Pretty great issue, I think you'll dig.

And then there's this...

Oh yes, EVERYBODY'S DEAD # 5. The final chapter in the series (for now). Characters will die, heroes will rise, in the biggest ending like EVER. I have a copy and it is glorious!

I'm excited. Are you excited? Hope so!

Oh, and look what I have in hand.


Which means you guys will have it hand, soon. Hooray!

SPIKE:ATF 2 tomorrow, and other thangs.

First of all, go buy SPIKE:AFTER THE FALL # 2. I love it, writing is good (I hope) and Franco's art is insane. It's fun, dark, full of action, what more could you ask for in a comic book?

And don't say Xander. Because he's not in it.

To all those reading this blog that don't know BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Xander is a friend of Buffy's so that joke I made was not only hilarious but VERY timely.

Just moved from our apartment to a full-on house. It's our first full-on house, we love it, we love the neighborhood, and I have a pool for the first time ever, which of course means the neighbors want to know who the dude swimming naked is. Answer: it's me, your new neighbor! Don't worry, new neighbors, I put on lotion everywhere.

To all those reading this blog that don't know "full-on house", a "full-on house" is a house with bedrooms and a kitchen AND a pool. It's technical.

SPIKE:AFTER THE FALL is completely written. That means I only have one comic book to write, ANGEL:ATF. That is a relief. I need a break. One comic a month sounds nice. I am going to try writing this one in my pool.

Sneak Preview!

I am very excited to show you some upcoming "shots" from ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL. Warning! Kinda spoilers!

First of all, the bad news: Nick Runge's last issue on interiors is issue 11. He is brilliant and awesome and I loved the issues we did together, but I think the monthly deadline was eating at his very soul, and he didn't want the book or the release dates to suffer, so for now, he's providing covers. AND a two-page sequence in issue 12 (a la Messina's pages in ANGEL:ATF # 10).

Now, the great news.

Stephen Mooney takes on the bulk of ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL # 12. A friendly reminder, Mooney is the genius who lent his genius to the Connor/Kate story in FIRST NIGHT. I am in love with his work from those issues, but I gotta say, his work on ATF is blowing it away. You won't believe your eyes, it's epic, painful, very personal stuff and Mooney is kicking ass on every page.

Here's an example of how great he is with the characters. First of all, Wesley makes sure he looks his best for HIS big reunion with Gunn.



Gunn ALSO wants to be ready, so he has all his pretty trinkets waxed and polished.



Spike, never one to be shown up, ALSO wants to look his best, so he fixes his hair:



All these dudes getting ready to meet up, but man, I wonder what happened to Angel? He's the star of our show, isn't he? I hope he's okay. Man, I'm getting worried.

Well, let's see a cover to issue 15 and see. Courtesy of my artistic soulmate and once and future ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL partner, Franco Urru!



Oh whew, there he is! I guess everything's okay for Angel...unless things aren't what they seem...but when has that ever been the case?

I cannot wait for you guys to see these issues. We've saved the best for the last (of AFTER THE FALL...not the world of ANGEL...but that's a story for another time).

Hope you like!
