Pressure. As an underwater welder on an oilrig off the coast of Nova Scotia, Jack Joseph is used to the immense pressures of deep-sea work. Nothing, however, could prepare him for the pressures of impending fatherhood. As Jack dives deeper and deeper, he seems to pull further and further away from his young wife, and their unborn son. But then, something happens deep on the ocean floor. Jack has a strange and mind-bending encounter that will change the course of his life forever. ... Equal parts blue-collar character study and mind-bending science fiction epic, The Underwater Welder is a 250-page graphic novel that explores fathers and sons, birth and death, memory and truth, and treasures we all bury deep down inside.

Sweet Tooth Vol.4 THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST!

STEVE PUGH JOINS ANIMAL MAN!

As announced today on DC's Blog, THE SOURCE the talented STEVE PUGH will be the new artist on ANIMAL MAN!

A big reason I love the Animal Man character so much is because of the work Steve did on the character back in the 90's with Jamie Delano. In fact, I don't think it would be a stretch to say that I have been heavily influenced by a lot of the concepts Steve an Jamie created and represented them in my tenure on the book. So, to have Steve join colorist Lovern Kindzierski. letterer Jared K. Fletcher and I is a a dream come true for me.

Steve is an incredibly talented illustrator as well as an extremely professional and reliable guy and with everything we have planned on Animal Man coming up, I know the Baker Family is in good hands!

And on another note I'd like to wish outgoing artist Travel Foreman the best of luck on all his future pprojects. The success of Animal Man is due in no small part to Travel's artistic vision and I was lucky to have worked with him.
