So, I've bought the ticket, I'm going to the New York ComicCon, October 8-10. Look me up, I'm the balding middle aged guy. You can't miss me...

In the meantime, here's another couple of glimpses from my foray into French comics, WWX, written by Jerry Frissen (The Zombies That Ate The World). I'm jusing my new Cintiq for the roughs and pencils, meaning I can work in the colours very early. Another bold new direction - colour! Whoah!

And yeah, the text is in English - just a mockup, but my French is kind of lacking, so the poor guys need to translate everything.

Abe sapien: The Abysmal Plain no 1 is out now. Comicbookresources.com said: "You’re not likely to find a better looking comic this week than “Abe Sapien: The Abyssal Plan” #1 and the art alone makes it worthwhile." Mmm. Notice the alternative cover version:Today also marks the day I finished the first fist page of pencils on my foray into french comics, WWX. Keep an eye out.

A random selection of what nice folks are saying about A God Somewhere:

"It is this generation's Watchmen"
-popculturehound.com

"...something completely new and completely unique..."
-comicbookresources.com

"...one of the most compelling page-turners to come out this year"
-USA TODAY

"A God Somewhere may be the first post 9/11 superman story"
-popsyndicate.com

...and Publishers Weekly said it "...prove(s) that there are still some new stories out there after all".

Not a bad week, after all.

Not even if my wife claims this is a self portrait...

It's actually here - this is a scan of a corporeal printed copy.
Only now when I hold it in my hands do I realize what an outragous thing we have done. John has crafted a story that is both incredibly harsh and subtle. Release date June 2nd. Go.

So, the big event this month will, of course, be Komiks.dk 2010, and it looks like I will have a fresh copy of A God Somewhere in my hands, or at least a reasonable faximile thereof. Come along and have a look. You can catch me at Studio Gimle's booth, or when I'm signing the Danish edition of Dear Billy, Kære Billy, at G.Floy. You may not be able to actually BUY A God Somewhere yet, but you will be able to get get Kære Billy, a scribble and a handshake!

-since this is finally, finally coming out... The comic book formerly known as The Chosen is now A God Somewhere, awesome title, awesome story by John Arcudi, awesome colour by Bjarne Hansen, kinda nifty art by yours truly, check out the preview at Wildstorm. We hope you'll like a God Somewhere in return.

Go out and get it. The Grand Frog commands and compels you.

Let's hope noone gets hurt. The cover for the Danish edition of Dear Billy, which should hopefully be out in time for Komiks.dk
