Writer of Books and Comics
Hey everyone,
There’s a cool interview with me from last weekend at Long Beach Comic-Con from the Comic Book Corps, which you can see below. My segment begins at about 2:35 (not that you shouldn’t watch everyone else too, but you know).
Huge thanks to Kurosh and the other guys at CBC.
As I get my stuff together for Long Beach Comic-Con this weekend (Artist’s Alley #1312A! Be there!), I thought I’d drop you all a note to say that I’m going to be on Geekscape’s FANDOM PLANET live LBCC webshow on Sunday at 10 AM PST. Yep, live. That means there is a chance you’ll see me vomit! Live!
In seriousness, these are cool guys and I’m honored to be a part of the show. I’ll be there talking FOOTPRINTS and more for about 20 minutes, so tune in if you can!
Be sure to catch their live coverage all weekend (including me) at this link, and follow them on Twitter at @FandomPlanet.
You know how much we love to give sneak peeks right? Well, Jonathan tweeted this action a few hours ago, and I couldn’t resist sharing. This is the opening (unlettered) page to Footprints #3, where you get to see the ol’ Foot Bros. Detection and Recovery team in action for the first time. These flashback scenes were a blast to write and hopefully we’ll get to dive a little deeper into their history as a team someday.
For now, we’ve got things like this:
If you’re attending Long Beach Comic-Con this weekend, don’t forget to swing by and say hello. I’ll be in Artist’s Alley #1312A, copies of Footprints in hand.
As I wrapped up the final edits on Footprints last night, my fire was burning to jump headfirst into the new comic project that Jonathan Moore and I will be working on, something we’ve been talking about since C2E2 earlier this year.
So I did.
It’s a complete 18o degree turn from our work on Footprints and I think will be a nice challenge for both of us. It’s a deeply personal story for each of us, and I hope that we can make that shine and be something special. It’s still insanely early to talk much about it, but the image Jonathan came up with is so striking that it had to be shared. He posted it earlier on his DeviantArt page, but here it is again:
The reviews for Footprints #2 have started coming in! Awesome sites like A Comic Book Blog, Comic Attack, Comic Booked, and CC2K. Huge thanks to everyone for checking out our little book. Here’s an excerpt from ACB’s review:
I simply love this story. These characters, as nearly ridiculous as they are to be in the roles they have, are simply awesome. Joey Esposito injects so much personality into them. Forget about them being a bigfoot, a chupacabra, a Jersey devil, a giant shark, or a Loch Ness monster… They feel like real people. It was something I picked up immediately in the first issue, and it sticks true in this second issue. Before, I dug them and loved how they were being used. Now these monsters feel like my buddies and real people that I’m invested in.
