It's almost two months since the last posting and that pisses me off. We had our updates planned, artwork scheduled but then there was a no show.. The age old problems of being an Indie Comic; artists fail to meet deadlines or just vanish without a trace. Well, I'm well versed in these problems and I took swift action to rectify the issue.
Say hello to the cover of our first American release, Havoc 21 Omnibus; compiled and edited by our diligent Editor George (Amaru - plus one helluva gifted penciler). We took all the work from the first 5 issues, filtered out nearly all the best work.. George read each story then compiled our first Omnibus from them. And yes, I said first, he has a second already in mind but that won't be for sometime. If you check the last posting in November you'll see the cover of Havoc 21 issue #6, hitting the shelves about 3 months after the Omnibus and we'll hopefully have the cover for issue 7 to show off in a not too distant future blog also.
The image chosen for the cover of the Omnibus is a nod to a story that won't be in any of the future collections (of our previous work) because we're currently re-working it for a re-launch with fresh talent taking the lead. With that in mind when an exceptionally gifted artist who provided some astounding imagery for a story called Memory Garden, Havoc 21 #7, emailed this stunning inked image (taken from a script I wrote) I thought was a true attention grabber - perfect cover material! The artist I'm referring to is Emmanuel Ybarrola, from Argentina. I felt he captured the scene exactly as I saw it and what he sent was perfect for colour, I added my own interpretation of the Werewolves head then painted it - Emmanuel was a perfect pro and completely supportive of my collaboration. When you see his interior work you'll see his art is jaw-dropping.
Enjoy,
EJB
Please Note: the Cover image isn't Hi - Res and clear yet, when it is we'll update this image!
