More Joyride news! vis CBR here

Joyride #1 (of 4) Publisher: BOOM! Studios Writers: Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly Artist: Marcus To Cover artist: Marcus To Format: 32 pages, full color Price: $3.99 On sale: April 13 Synopsis: What’s to Love: After working together on Hacktivist and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials original graphic novel, the writing duo of Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (“Batman and Robin Eternal”) join forces once again with artist Marcus To (“New Warriors,” “The Flash: Season Zero”) for their first creator-owned series that takes readers to the stars in this space epic with a punk-rock attitude, perfect for fans of “Young Avengers” and “Runaways.”

What It Is: In the future, Earth sucks. The stars have been blocked out for so long that people have forgotten there was anything else besides the dumb World Government Alliance watching over them, training children to join the militarized Allied Youth and eliminating all resistance with a giant ray gun. Uma Akkolyte is a girl who shoots first and leaps before she looks, and when she gets a strange message from outside the barricades of SafeSky, she jacks a spaceship and punches through the stratosphere with an unlikely crew of teens who are totally not ready for what they’re about to find.

Here we go friends, the first look into my first creator owned series with BOOM!, JOYRIDE.

This preview gives you a glimpse into the life of Uma and introduces you to who she is and what she’s about. We also talk about what inspired us to create JOYRIDE as well as where we want to go with the story.

Godzilla vs. The Thing (Mothra vs. Godzilla 1964)

Marathon-ed through all the Godzilla movies this past spring as a lead up to the Legendary’s 2014 version.  I grew up with the dubbed versions so they have a sense of nostalgia to go along with them even if they are more awkward than the originals.  Speaking of which, Mothra is ‘The Thing’ in this one.  Sorry to spoil the trailer’s mystery for you…

"Return the egg to us dammit!"

My THE BRIDE original print is now available at the Cadence Select store here!

Jim Henson’s The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow Written by Jerry Juhl Adapted by Roger Langridge Coloured by Me!

Posting this on Canadian Thanksgiving seems appropriate.  The book is an adapatation of what was to be a Jim Henson Thanksgiving TV special written by Jerry Juhl in 1968!  It went unproduced until Boom!/Archaia worked with the Henson Company and Roger Langridge to produced the graphic novel version you see here.  Mr. Juhl wrote my childhood favourite holiday special, the Muppets Family Christmas, so I am very happy to be a part of this and provide the colours to Roger’s amazing work.  Thanks goes out to Roger, Jul, Cameron, Tay, Irene, Scott and Stephen!

A proper preview can be found HERE.  Should be available at most book stores and Amazon.  It’s a beautiful hardcover and makes a great all-ages read.  Plus, how can you say ‘no’ to turkeys that look like that?
