This Is Not The Worst Thing You've Caught Me Doing

Why have I not been posting?

Because I've been writing this



and this



Four issues, starting in May (with the movie). It's a lot of work to write -- the tech and the military details all have to be right -- but Tony Stark is just a great, great character at this point. And I like the Alpha Team, too.

More soon!

Bailando, Bailando

My remembrance of Steve Gerber.

New Avengers / Transformers trade paperback

Out today. One volume, collecting the whole miniseries by me and Tyler Kirkham.

Below: the team-up you never thought you'd see -- Luke Cage of the New Avengers, and Ratchet of the Autobots. Discussing rescue strategy and the nature of command.

More on The Stranded

Eight things you may not know, at the Virgin blog.

Stranded / Ghost Rider

Two projects I'm involved with slipped out this week while I was busy dealing with life.



THE STRANDED is the first of the new Virgin/SciFi line, and the first comic I've edited in more than five years. It's been a fascinating process, and I'm VERY happy with the result. THE STRANDED is the brainchild of writer/creator Mike Carey, who describes it here better than I could. Basically, it's the tale of a group of alien refugees planted on Earth with false memories...but when something comes to kill them, they must face the reality that their entire lives have been a lie.

SciFi, which has big hopes for this one, has launched a site devoted to it and to the upcoming titles in the line. The site is bare bones so far, but watch for it to grow soon.

Here's a sample page from THE STRANDED:



And then there's...



GHOST RIDER VOLUME 3: APOCALYPSE SOON features last year's GHOST RIDER ANNUAL by me and Ben Oliver, along with two stories from the regular book by Daniel Way and his crew. My story introduces the enigmatic Mister Eleven, a being trapped between...well, you'll have to read it to find out. I will say the story worked out nicely, both as a stand-alone character piece and as a part of the larger GHOST RIDER saga.

(The book also features a big battle with the Hulk. And you can't beat a big battle with the Hulk.)

Here's the Amazon page -- which, unfortunately, has the plot description for the next volume by mistake.

More soon...
