("Murdermouth" cover, pencils by Derlis Santacruz)
Given the barriers and costs inherent in print publication, I'm going to be planning most of my comic book releases for digital platforms. The Apple iPad has a gorgeous comics application on it, and plenty of other tablets are in development that are going to change the methods of content delivery. There will still be barriers, especially as major computer producers will primarily be interested in Marvel and DC comics at first, but I sense a new Golden Age of comics coming (though I guess we'll have to change the term from "Golden Age" because of collectors. I guess the "Digital Age" is more apt.)
At any rate, I've told all my artists this will be the new goal. I am not quite sure how it's going to affect traditional layout and the all-important dance of panels and storytelling, but I welcome the opportunity to learn.

I just preordered the GRAVE CONDITIONS via Paypal. I look forward to it, as well as the sketch cards! (I collect WITCHBLADE collectors' cards, autographed sketch cards, and statues. I have all of them. Well, I also have DC's numbered statue of the Black Widow and one of the Red Sonja "proof" statues. My house screams "GEEK"!)
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I do not know if you recall me. I reviewed your first books. The Red Church was the last I reviewed, if I recall correctly. I am thrilled to learn that you are doing comics/graphic novels. And, of course, once I read the graphic paperback I will not be able to stop myself from posting up a review on my book review site and on the Amazon site(s).
Thanks for sending me the email about the blog contest and the graphic novel. I hope this blog comment gives me an entry.
I still love your work. The comic page, above, gave me a chill. Creepy and demonic all at once. LOL! Detra Fitch / Huntress Reviews
