Futurequake #21 - Superman Vs. Flash homage

I'm just finishing up the art (pencils and inks) for a 5 page story for the next issue of Futurequake. It will be Futurequake #21, and I've done the cover as well. It's the Olympic issue, and my story is about the earth's best sprinter running against alien sprinter for the gold. So...when it came to the cover, I felt I had to go back to one of my all time favorite covers, Superman Vs. Flash !

When I first saw this cover as a kid, it blew my mind! Why were they racing? Who would win? ...and more importantly, how could I get my parents to buy it for me?!?

With this cover as my guide, I came up with my 'Sci-fi Olympic Alien' version for Futurequake.

It was colored by my frequent partner in comics, Kerien Smith. This issue is set to go on sale in Early July, just in time for the Olympics. What a coincidence! ;-)

 I'll update here on the blog when it becomes officially available, and how you can grab a copy.

Cheers!

At Calgary Expo this weekend!

I had a great time at C2E2 a few weeks back in Chicago, and now its almost time to say hello to the folks out in Calgary again. I did the Calgary Expo last year, and found it was one of the BEST shows I'd been to in a long time. Kandrix and his crew had some of the best organization I'd ever seen, along with some great crowds.

I'm psyched to do it again this weekend. The show is April 27th-29th. Full details over at the Calgary Expo website.  As a bonus... my pal Ty the guy is a featured guest so I'll get to hang with him and the HON crew! Should be a great time indeed. Plan to come by if you are in Calgary this weekend!

Edit! - forgot to add, I'm at booth K 07 !!

Heroes of the North Comic

Next up for me is a comic for Heroes of the North, which ties into the videos and web series that they have. I highly recommend you check them out over here!

I've drawn a story with the hero 8-Ball and Black Terror. The comic will be online shortly (free!) and then available in a print version. The print version will be released in a few months once its collected into the next heroes of the North Omnibus.

In the meanwhile, here's some art to tide you over..the second page is inked up by my partner in crime Guillermo Ortego who inked up the last few pages of the story. Deviant art will allow for  closer look.

Once it goes online I'll be sure to mention it here, and on my twitter feed.

Cheers!
