DEADLANDS: Pre-Order Books 1 & 2 NOW!

I just cannot tell you how excited I am about our Deadlands titles coming from Image starting in June. Apparently I'm not alone in that excitement. I'm hearing things like All-Star Western and Summer's First Hit, tossed around online by media and blogs daily. 

It's also been a real joy to work with these teams, consummate professionals all! The work they are turning in for these books is pure awesome. Ron Marz is one of the best in the biz and he's assembled a dream team (with some input from yours truly)! When I read David Gallaher's script for The Devil's Six Gun I knew we were in for a treat. Watching Steve Ellis' pages roll in was...well...wow. Then Jimmy P's and Justin G's script, now Lee Moder's art is rolling in for Massacre at Red Wing. Bart Sears' cover for Death Was Silent, and Francesco shared some art that shows his style and approach he wants to use for Hopeless Roads. Every day has been like Christmas.


And that's not even touching the backup story I'm writing and coloring with fantastic artist Oscar Capristo, the super secret feature we can't even tell you the name of, else it will ruin the surprise. By all counts we've got a hit with this that neither Oz or myself can wait to spin into an ongoing monthly! (Fingers crossed...)


So, here's the latest and greatest info on all the books, including Pre-Order info on books 1 & 2!
