Thor vs. The Sandman - the Script

I talked Caleb into posting the script to the comic in the previous entry on his blog. Jump to it here, you'll be glad you did.

Thor vs. The Sandman

Last summer, with about 2 weeks to go before Comic-Con, my friend Caleb Monroe generously offered to write a 5-page comic script if it would help me create some sample work for my portfolio. When I agreed, he suggested that it focus on two popular characters, one from  the stables of DC and one from Marvel. I picked Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and The Mighty Thor.  An odd combination, to be sure, but I thought, "That'll be a challenge."

I had no idea that he'd deliver something so poetic, almost lyrical. There's no dialogue, no colors, no onomatopoetic sound effects; I did my best to bring this lovely little story to life, and I hope you like the results. 

D'Argo's Quest - I HAVE RETURNED

Hey, everybody (all two of you). Just wanted you to know, unless you've migrated somewhere else, that I have indeed re-opened the dusty vault of this blog and shall endeavor to add new content regularly, at least once a week.

In the meantime, please enjoy these covers from the recently-completed FARSCAPE: D'Argo's Quest for BOOM! Studios!

FARSCAPE: D'Argo's Trial #2

Teaser Blurb: Ka D'Argo must keep his wife and unborn child from Peacekeeper clutches, but will his Luxan rage be his greatest weapon or his greatest weakness?

On stands now. Check it out!

FARSCAPE: D'Argo's Trial #1

Did this cover a while ago - the interiors have kept me busy for a while, so since the solicits have hit, I thought I'd post it:

Farscape Teasers

Some character sketches, this time revolving around the Farscape franchise:

WARHAMMER 40K - Fire and Honour 3A

WARHAMMER 40K - Fire and Honour 3B

WARHAMMER 40K - Exterminatus 5A

"CAPED" - Jimmy Lohman

Enter Jimmy Lohman - where most superheroes might get a sidekick, The Edge hires Jimmy as a personal assistant. He's in his early twenties, poor, well-meaning, over-educated, and lost. The writers wanted the hopelessness of Michael Cera's character in "Arrested Development" coupled with the body of Steve Ditko's Peter Parker. I think he came out okay, but Jimmy ended up with the most iterations.

"CAPED" - The Edge

"Gotham Blues" is an upcoming comic published by BOOM! Studios. It takes place in a familiar setting - a world populated by superheroes, from the grim and gritty to the ridiculous. The Edge is one of the former, a dark, brooding avenger of foul deeds whose main weapons are blades covering his forearms and a sickle that he keeps on his breastplate. The comic's creators wanted a dark, 80's Batman kind of look, and this is what I came up with.

But even guys like The Edge need a hand...

WARHAMMER 40K - Exterminatus 2A

My very first (published) comic book cover, and it's filled with gun-toting cyborgs from the future. I'm fairly proud of it.

WARHAMMER 40K - Exterminatus 2B

40,000 years in the future, a pair of noble siblings attempt to dupe an agent of the Emperor's Inquisition. Little do they know he's a mind-readin', bolt-pistol-packin' badass. I mean, look at that hammer! Sheesh!
