Description At last I can spill the beans! I'm the artist on the new Gears of War comic from DC's Wildstorm imprint, launching in October before the new game. My story bridges the two.

Very exciting!

This was the piece that landed me the gig.

Note: This was posted in 2008. I've now finished 11 issues, collected in two volumes, and have since finished drawing the title. Thanks for all the kind words!

Reminds me of Madworld for the Wii. Good art by the way.

Really nice pic of Fenix there! Take no offense, but it's gonna take a little more to get me to believe that you are making a GoW comic. I apologize for sounding rude.

Hi there. The GOW comic came out in 2008 - it was the biggest selling comic of the year. You can buy both the two already printed collected editions on Amazon here:

Hope you believe me now! I'm not working on the book any longer though. I finished last year so I could do some of my own projects.

Curious why you would think an old comic veteran like me, with 25 years in the industry behind me, would make something like that up though! LOL! Does it happen a lot on DA?

I actually have one of your comics, and I thought the Boogey-man reference was very home-hitting; and the introduction to Jace was awesome as well ^^ Very cool indeed

Congrats! Your work is amazing and shows an impressive use of light and shadow as well as texturing. What I love most though is the solidity of your characters. They look as if you could reach out and touch them
