<u><strong><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 16px;">BERSERKER UNBOUND! FINAL ORDER TODAY!</span></strong></u><br />
<br />
So, today is the final day that you can pre-order a copy of my new book with Mike Deodato, BERSERKER UNBOUND, from your local comic book store. I know that you are probably sick of comic professionals begging you to pre-order their books, but the truth is, it really helps to support these creator-owned books, especially in a marketplace that is so crowded.<br />
<br />
So, if you can please let your local shop know you want a copy! The DIAMOND ORDER CODES ARE:<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Regular Cover: JUN190273</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Mignola Variant: JUN190274<br />
<br />
And here is a bunch of stunning art by Mike Deodato and Frank Martin. I was lucky to first work with these gentlemen on <em>Thanos </em>at Marvel, and love that we have branched off to create our own work here. Mike is an incredibly generous and dedicated collaborator. And a cover by MIKE MIGNOLA!! How cool is that?!<br />

<strong>SENTIENT</strong><br />
<br />
Some of you may have heard that I am also doing a new sci-fi book with the amazing Gabriel Walta (<em>Vision</em>). Gabriel sent this pic of some of the watercolored pages in progress, which I thought you would enjoy...<br />
<br />
Gabriel and I are already working on our <em>next</em> collaboration as well!<br />

WELCOME TO MY STUDIO...<br />
<br />
Thought I would share some photos of my workspace. I've been in this studio for about seven years. It's in an old warehouse building in Toronto's east end, that used to be a shoe factory long ago. I've drawn <em>Roughneck, Royal City, AD: After Death, Trillium, Secret Path, Underwater Welde</em>r and about 1/2 of <em>Sweet Tooth</em> here. I have also created <em>Descender, Black Hammer, Gideon Falls, Plutona</em> and pretty much everything else I've ever written for DC or Marvel here. Though, truth be told, I do a lot of my writing at home. This space is used about 70% of the time for whatever I am drawing at the moment, and, as you can see, to house all my books and artwork.<br />
<br />
Here is my drawing desk. I have been drawing at a standing desk since working on<em> Roughneck </em>in 2014. I like the movement it gives me, and I get less tired after a long day of drawing. I do all my artwork traditionally and only use a Cintiq to scan and format my pages when they are done, and to do minor digital tweaks and corrections.<br />
<br />
<img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3030674" height="640" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/f011ee95-b346-4e6b-ab11-6ced93fbcc92.jpg" style="max-width: 480px; width: 480px;" width="480" /><img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3030678" height="640" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/16986eed-5fd5-4f60-879b-c3fe9bbf3ae9.jpg" style="max-width: 480px; width: 480px;" width="480" /><img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3030682" height="640" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/51147e03-5355-460e-8db4-406fb0716abf.jpg" style="max-width: 480px; width: 480px;" width="480" /> When I do scan my pages, this is where I tweak and format them. Another standing desk. I draw standing up and write sitting down. Don't know what that says about me?<br />
<img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3030690" height="640" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/f7afd589-2ebe-4362-bb27-ca2674a65128.jpg" style="max-width: 480px; width: 480px;" width="480" /><br />
Some of the original comic art that fills my walls and fills me with constant inspiration. There are too many pieces to credit all the artists here, but I pretty much have at least one piece by all of my favourite artists at this point. Of note here is the original cover art for both<em> Animal Man #1</em> by Travel Foreman and <em>Descender #1</em> by Dusting Nguyen. Also a great Michael Cho <em>Adam Strange</em> commission.<br />
<br />
<img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3030694" height="640" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/27337aa4-b81a-446d-8865-5fe906235277.jpg" style="max-width: 480px; width: 480px;" width="480" />More art! And more Michael Cho. Also Joe Kubert, Jae Lee, Paolo Rivera, John J. Muth, Mignola (I really should frame that), and my most coveted piece, a Perez/Ordway <em>Crisis</em> page! A bunch of my sketchbooks lined up there too.<br />
<br />
Okay, back to work...The all important white board schedule. I keep track of all the projects that I am writing here. Splitting the months into weeks, I try to work on one project per week to stay on schedule and keep fresh ( I had to blur some stuff that I cannot talk about yet).<br />
<br />
Taking one thing at a time, one week at a time, helps to keep me from feeling overwhelmed. As the Giant says to Agent Cooper in<em> Twin Peaks</em> season 2..."<em>A path is made by laying one stone at a time."</em><br />

Dolls of my characters made by my talented wife, Lesley-Anne Green.<br />
<br />
<img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3030722" height="640" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/f361d24b-6059-4dc2-8153-3f017c1bd7e3.jpg" style="max-width: 480px; width: 480px;" width="480" /><br />
This was made custom for me by my father. The bottom drawers pull out and hold all my floppies. The top three drawers hold my original artwork. My growing collection of David Lynch and <em>Twin Peaks</em> art is featured here as well. That portrait of Lynch as Eraserhead was done for me by my current Question collaborator, Bill Seinkewicz.<br />
<br />
Okay..that's it from me for a month or so. I'm off to SDCC and then vacation with my family. Be good, read more comics and also order BERSERKER UNBOUND!Jeff Lemirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05410974378843122064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605201086024278571.post-35477611247222875472019-07-11T09:26:00.001-07:002019-07-11T09:26:08.304-07:00JOKER, THE QUESTION and THE FUTURE OF BLACK HAMMER!<div>
<strong>BLACK HAMMER: ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS</strong><br /><br />As announced today in my interview with The Comics Beat, <em>Black Hammer: Age of Doom </em>will come to its conclusion with next months Issue #12. That will be the end of the "farm story" that Dean And I have been telling since Black Hammer #1 in 2016. But that will not be the end of Black Hammer...<br /><br /><em>Black Hammer: Age of Doom#1</em>2 is the ending I always intended for these heroes, and this story, and I am incredibly grateful to all the retailers and readers who have supported <em>Black Hammer </em>and allowed Dean Ormston, Dave Stewart, Todd Klein, and I to tell the story we wanted to tell on our own terms, exactly how we wanted to tell it.<br /> </div>
<div>
<div>
<div dir="auto">
But, as I said, this is not the end of <em>Black Hammer</em>. It's simply the end of what we consider “Phase One" of the Black Hammer Universe.<br /> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="auto">
In the coming months we will announce a number of new <em>Black Hammer </em>comics. This will be the start of "Phase II" of the BHU, and the new books will feature both familiar characters we’ve come to love, and also brand new heroes.<br /><br />And I am also excited to announce that, as the flagship book of "Phase II" Dean Ormston and I will be creating a new core series featuring Lucy Weber as the all new Black Hammer for 2020.<br /><br />So keep an eye out for lots of new Black Hammer announcements in the comings weeks and months.<br /><br /><br /><strong>TWO NEW DC BLACK LABEL BOOKS!</strong><br /><br />Also announced today, the two projects I have been working on for DC's Black Label imprint; <em>THE JOKER: KILLER SMIL</em>E with my Gideon Falls, Green Arrow and Old Man Logan collaborator, Andrea Sorrentino and <em>THE QUESTION: THE DEATHS OF VIC SAGE </em>with the art team from the Question's acclaimed run in the 80's and 90's Denys Cowans and Bill Seinkewicz!<br /><br />Covers below!<br /><img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3020182" height="819" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/b93ee861-d0cb-4b44-86cd-8efc270526c0.jpg" style="max-width: 640px; width: 640px;" width="640" /><br /><img class="tl-email-image" data-id="3024086" height="835" src="https://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/48635636e0555d9f6d9306ef5d05ba37cd596992/images/d53dddaf-b6ed-4cf9-ac5e-56ea13360f53.jpg" style="max-width: 640px; width: 640px;" width="640" /><br /><br /><br />Regarding THE JOKER: KILLER SMILE, I want to assure fans of Gideon Falls that this project will not effect the Gideon Falls schedule<u><em> at all.</em></u> Andrea and I are both so far ahead of GF that we were able to take a few months to work on the Joker book without affecting our schedule. So, there will be a double dose of Andrea and I when Joker and Gideon are both published this fall.<br /><br />And, with THE QUESTION, all I can really say is that this is a labour of love. It's truly my DC Comics dream project. Denys Cowan and Dennis O'Neil's run on The Question in the late 80's and early 90's was hugely influential on my, and specifically on how I approached my own run on Green Arrow. Getting the chance to team with two legends like Denys and Bill Seinkewicz has been surreal and incredible and we have been putting our hearts into this one!<br /><br /><br /><strong>SAN DIEGO COMICON SCHEDULE</strong><br /><br />Comicon is fast approaching and in case you missed it on my blog or previous newsletters, here is my signing and panel schedule:<br /><br /> <strong><u>Thursday, 7/18</u></strong><br /><br />11:30a.m. – 12:30p.m.: SIGNING – DC/WB Booth 4545<br /><br />1:00p.m. - 2:00pm.

Split my time between working on new drafts of the Essex County television episodes, and finishing up drawing a batch of pages from my next graphic novel, as well as inking five new pages of my INFERIOR FIVE story for DC.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I talked to Keith Giffen on one of our monthly story calls. This is how we "write" Inferior Five: I talk to Keith about what he is going to draw this month, give a few suggestions, try to talk him down from killing all the characters, and then wait for the art to come back to discover that Keith has decided to draw about 25% of what we talked about, and gone in totally different direction instead. Then I have to letter it and try to make sense of it all. Sound fun? Well, it actually is. It's a blast, and the unpredictability of the whole process is giving the story a wild and untamed feeling that sometimes makes me nervous, but mostly just excites me.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I've talked about Inferior Five a lot in this newsletter but that's because it is a real passion project for me.</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In my mind Keith is a </span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">legend.</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> I was at my most impressionable age as a comics reader between 1985 and 1991, when I was 9-15-years-old. I was also a DC Comics super nerd then and Keith was my god. His work on </span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Legion, Lobo, Justice League International</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> and many others made a massive impression on me. And Keith's ever-morphing art style has also influenced my own art greatly over the years. So, getting to work with him on this book, and interact with him as a creative partner, is surreal and amazing. Even if he is just a grumpy old bastard and not the least bit legend-y.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Here is the "un-official" synopsis of the book: </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Set in the DC Comics continuity of 1988, Inferior Five follows five strange kids stuck in a small town in the wake of DC's "Invasion" event (which was published in 1988 and co-written by Giffen). The kids work together to try and escape this nightmare of this town, which is part "The Prisoner" and part "Twin Peaks", but all set against the backdrop of the book DC was publishing back in the 80's. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Keith is co-plotting and doing the art, and I am scripting it. And I am also writing and drawing 5-page back-up stories in each issue featuring the character "The Peacemaker". These back-ups are connected to the main story and will all come together (I hope!!) in the end. It's 12-issues and it is as crazy as it sounds. So buy it. It is unlike ANYTHING else DC and Marvel are publishing, I promise. It is available for pre-order from your local comic book store now, so ask for it or no one will order it!</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Here is my variant cover for Issue #1.

color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">And finally, a thought or two on what Vertigo meant to me. Recently DC announced that it would be folding its long-running Vertigo imprint. I said earlier in this newsletter that my most impressionable age as a comics reader was 1985-1991. And that's probably true. I was a kid then, and the stuff I read meant a lot to me. But it was Vertigo that kept me reading comics when I stopped being a kid and became a teenager and adult. Finding books like HELLBLAZER, SANDMAN and DOOM PATROL in 1992-1993 was a gift. Books like those, which became Vertigo, kept me engaged in the medium at a time when my interests could have drifted elsewhere.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">And to think that I would end up working with Vertigo one day? Crazy. I pitched Sweet Tooth on a whim and a prayer to Bob Shcreck and Karen Berger at Vertigo in 2008, never expecting that it would get greenlit. But it did. And I ended up writing and drawing that book for four years, my longest running project to date. And that let to all sorts of other things, like me writing comics for DC. Creatively, Sweet Tooth and the freedom Vertigo gave me to be myself, was huge. But personally it was also incredible to become a part of the legacy of Vertigo and to become friends with Karen and so many of the other creators who had books during that period. Jason Aaron (scalped), Scott Snyder (American </span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Vampire), G. Willow Wilson (Air) and Josh Dysart (Unkown Soldier) became like a little family, and I still feel deeply connected to them all and to Vertigo. I also feel incredibly grateful to Keren Berger, and all the editors I worked with at Vertigo. I love them and I love Vertigo and I always will. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">So, I guess when Sweet Tooth is reprinted in the future it will have "DC Black Label" in the spine. Nothing against DC Black Label, whom I enjoy working with now, but we all know the truth. Sweet Tooth is Vertigo and always will be. And so am I.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important;" />Jeff Lemirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05410974378843122064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605201086024278571.post-53120163422071913662019-03-06T16:55:00.000-08:002019-03-06T16:55:34.274-08:00FROGCATCHERS New Graphic Novel-September 2019<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: "proxima nova alt" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A man wakes up alone in a strange room with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. The padlocked doors and barren lobby reinforce the strangeness of this place. This is—as he reads from an old-fashioned keychain beside his bed—the Edgewater Hotel. Even worse, something ominous seems to be lurking in one of the rooms.</span><br />

This is the setting for a boundary pushing, genre-defying new work of fiction by one of comics’ master storytellers.</span><br />

Time To Speak Up. <div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
A couple of days ago I tweeted about Comicsgate. This seems to have made a lot of people angry. Well, that’s too bad, but I fully stand by what I said. For too long, too many creators and members of the comics industry, who are not straight white men, have been harassed, abused and attacked online, when all they want to do is tell stories and make comics. This is not right. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
If you don’t like the stories these creators are telling, then don’t buy them. That is your right. What is <i>not </i>your right is to attack them and try to silence their voices.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I had hoped more creators who, like me, have had the privilege to create comics free of this sort of abuse and scrutiny, because we are white, and we are men, would have joined me in denouncing Comicsgate. I know many of you feel the way I do. I noticed that many popular and significant creators “liked” my tweet. And that’s great, but it’s not enough. If we can’t use our voices to stand up for the next generation of comics creators, editors and the next wave of voices that will keep our medium alive and vital, then what’s the point of having them?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
The time is now to stand up for female comic book creators. The time is now to stand up for trans comic book creators. The time is now to stand up for creators of color and of all sexual orientations, races and religions. If we don’t do that, we don’t deserve to keep making comics ourselves. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 13.2px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So, don’t just like tweets. <i>Say </i>something. Let marginalized creators and voices know that we are with them. Comics are for everybody. Let the world know that.</div>
</div>

Andrea and I worked together on Green Arrow and Old Man Logan for Marvel and DC, bit this is our first creator owned book. Its a supernatural horror series, a rural mystery.

<span style="text-align: left;">The world of BLACK HAMMER will also grow in 2018 with the launch of the just announced mini-series, DOCTOR STAR & THE KINGDOM OF LOST TOMORROWS with artist Max Fiumara and Dave Stewart. The main Black Hammer story also continues in April with Dean Ormston when we relaunch the core series as BLACK HAMMER: AGE OF DOOM (details on that below).</span></div>

And I'll be doing a new book for DC COMICS in February, THE TERRIFICS with artists Iva Reis and Doc Shaner. The series combines a bunch of my favourite DC characters, METAMORPHO, PLASTIC MAN, MR. TERRIFIC and PHANTOM GIRL in a fun book full of adventure and heart.</div>

And, in addition I will be doing another new series for DC called THE INFERIOR FIVE with one of my heroes KEITH GIFFEN! Keith will be drawing the book and I'll be scripting it, and also drawing 5-page backups featuring THE PEACEMAKER. The book will be set in the DC Universe of 1988!</div>

I met Gord Downie about four years ago. He and his brother, Mike treated me to coffee near my studio in Leslieville and they told me about Chanie Wenjack.<br />
<br />
I had never heard of Chanie Wenjack. Chances are neither had you. I was immediately moved by Gord's warmth, passion and humour. We started working together immediately.<br />
<br />
He would visit every couple weeks and I would show him my drawings. We would laugh and talk and somewhere in there, there was even a 400km snowmobile ride in arctic temperatures, a hockey game in a hotel room in Timmins, and because of him I finally got to fulfill my teenaged dream of joining a rock band, even though I can't play any instruments.<br />
<br />
He had a way about him that made it feel like we'd known each other for years. I miss him now and I will always miss him.<br />
<br />
We became friends. More than friends...we<u><i> created </i></u>something together. And art never dies.<br />
<br />
I love you, Gord. You changed my life and made me a better man and a better artist. I will see you again...<br />

This new arc takes a major shift as the story jumps
back to the year 1993 and we follow the last week in the
life of Tommy Pike! Meet the Pike siblings when they were

<i><br /></i>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>From the New York Times Bestselling author of Essex County, Descender, and The Underwater Welder comes an all-original graphic novel about a brother and sister who must come together after years apart to face the disturbing history that has cursed their family. Derek Ouellette’s glory days are behind him. His hockey career ended a decade earlier in a violent incident on ice, and since then he’s been living off his reputation in the remote northern community where he grew up, drinking too much and fighting anyone who crosses him. When his long-lost sister Beth shows up, on the run from an abusive boyfriend, the two escape to a secluded hunting camp in the woods. There, living off the land, they reconnect with each other, the painful secrets of their past, and their Cree heritage...and start to heal. But Beth’s ex-boyfriend is hunting them. As he circles closer, he threatens to shatter this newfound peace and pull both Derek and Beth back into the world of self-destruction they’ve fought so hard to leave behind. Touching and harrowing, this is a deeply moving and beautifully illustrated story about family, heritage, and breaking the cycle of violence.</i></span></span></span><br />

DOUBLE-SIZED DEBUT ISSUE! NEW ONGOING SERIES written and illustrated by JEFF LEMIRE (DESCENDER, A.D., Sweet Tooth). ROYAL CITY charts the lives, loves, and losses of a troubled family and a vanishing town across three decades. Patrick Pike, a fading literary star who reluctantly returns to the once-thriving factory town where he grew up, is quickly drawn back into the dramas of his two adult siblings, his overbearing mother, and his brow-beaten father, all of whom are still haunted by different versions of his youngest brother, Tommy, who drowned decades ago. ROYAL CITY is a return to the literary and thematic territory of LEMIRE's breakthrough graphic novel Essex County and is his most ambitious, and most personal, project to date.<div class="ReleaseDate" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0079bc; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px 0px;">
