A few years back, I worked on a short story with Alan Jefferson called 'A Late Night For A Walk'. It was originally published in Dial R's 'Pantheon' anthology. It's been out of print for a while so I thought I'd post it here. I hope you enjoy it.

Source Code and Hanna (the latter not on the list) were both awesome! 

Sucker Punch...not great, but looked amazing.  Great soundtrack too. 

More to come.

Anyone that knows me knows I love movies.  I LOVE them.  One of my favorite times is sitting in a darkened theater in anticipation of the movie starting.  The click of the projector as the reels turn and the hush of the crowd as the trailers start to role. 

BTW - If you are one of these people who think it's okay to talk during the previews...it's not.

But I digress...

Every year (even bad movie years like last year) there are always those films I am looking forward to.  Some I am absolutely dying to see.  Sometimes for the visual effects or cinematography.  Other times for the story or source material.  Whatever the reason, those handful of films have me queuing up.  And over the next couple months, these are those films.

I Saw The Devil

Sucker Punch

Source Code

Thor

Super 8


There are other movies I'm looking forward to.  Some I probably could have mentioned here.  But, right now, for me, these are the ones I'm dying to see.

What's on your list? 

I sent YouTube vlogger Philip DeFranco a copy of both Outlaw Territory volume one and two.  Today on his vlog, he mentioned the books (about 1:45).  I was not expecting that.  It was a very pleasant surprise. 



It wasn't a glowing review or anything (He hasn't even had a chance to read them yet) but he did say nice things and it was very cool to get mentioned on the show. 

And if you haven't checked out the Philip DeFranco Show or any of his other YouTube channels, I highly recommend it. 

The long awaited second volume of Outlaw Territory (Image Comics) hits stores next month! It looks fantastic and I can't wait for you all to get your hands on it.

Preview pages from all thirty stories are available on the Facebook fan page.  Further details coming soon. 

Popgun volume 3 took home the award for best anthology at the Eisners last week. Here is a video clip from the awards.

Congratulations to Joe, Mark, DJ and all the contributors on that win.

A short I did with the amazingly talented Eduardo Medeiros (http://hellatoons.wordpress.com) has just gone up on Act-I-Vate (http://act-i-vate.com/). It's called Bus Stop Manifesto. It's a completely true story and you can read right here (http://act-i-vate.com/112-1-1)

Let me know what you think.

The incredibly talented Nic Klein (Viking, Popgun) has lent his skills to bring us the cover to Outlaw Territory volume two, which is pictured above (if cropped, click on the image for the full cover).

The new volume will be in stores this October and feature an amazing line-up of talent.

More news to come.

So, the story I did with David Miller for Secret Project is now up and you can check it out at the link below.

This closes out the book, but please do check out the rest of the stories in the anthology. Everyone worked very hard on this and deserve a bit of an audience for their labors. Plus, it's free comics. Who doesn't love that?

Secret Project volume one has drawn to a close, but this may not be goodbye forever. Someone knows a secret about volume two.
