The Genre of Apes
| By now most of you will know this but, for those who don't, I started a studio with my friend TODD HARRIS, called GENRE 19. The purpose of the pairing is for the two of us to tell certain sorts of stories together that we might not otherwise attempt. Our first project is PRODIGAL: EGG OF FIRST LIGHT a two-issue mini series being published by APE ENTERTAINMENT in February 2010. It is what we like to call chock full of fun and ass-kickery. There is no spandex. There are no super heroes. There are no secret identities. And yet we think this book will appeal not only to mainstream comic book fans but also anyone who just loves a good old action-adventure. Here's the cover for Issue one.

SPINNER RACK COMICS
| So I contributed a story to this trade paperback that compiles a year's worth of the excellent HONOR BRIGADE comic book. It's old-school superhero fun with some top-notch art and- ahem- writing. Check it out. HONOR BRIGADE

FIRST REVIEW for POW!ERFUL TALES!!
| "This afternoon I finished reading POW!erful Tales, edited by Michael C. Lea, published by Peryton Press. And I really liked it. I thought at first that it was just a collection of superhero short stories, but it is actually a shared world anthology with a progression to the stories that makes sense by the time you've read it all. These are authors with much less fear in them than I have. When asked to do a superhero story, I turned in a modest tale about a relatively low powered teenage girl with a few personal problems. These authors tackle the big issues--right and wrong, power vs. responsibility, and the fate of the planet. I am humbled and amazed by their efforts. In my humble opinion, these super stories are superior to the Wild Card series produced by George R.R. Martin and company. And I'm going over to twitter to tell everybody that."- Ken St. Andre, Trollhalla.com Awesome on a stick, baby! |
