Swimmin with the newly designed Aquaman

How lucky am I to be able to swim this week with Neal’s latest design of Aquaman. Neal has made him more handsome and definitely more super heroic. He’s broad, manly and has long blonde hair. I will be showing more inked pieces from this series in the following weeks. Neal has been busy writing the next part of the Batman Odyssey, which we refer to as the “Underworld” . Our page count is still holding at 125 penciled pages since Neal has moved into the writing chore of the job. Rumor is it is in the process of being scheduled for a June 2010 release. I will keep you updated on this as well.

Superman Vs Ali has been sent to Moose Baumann for the coloring chores this week. Neal will be designing a new cover for the regular edition that DC will be putting out.DC is also looking for if anyone might own the last spread of the Superman Vs Ali Story. They are missing the film work for the Superman side of the handshake. Please Give us a call at 212-869-4170 if you might own it and we could possibly get a good scan from the original.

Commercially we have been working on Lyrica print. Scott’s Grass and “Guess Who” A really fun game from Milton Bradley.

Have a Great 3 Day weekend and please check in with us next week.

Time Jumping In Kris's World

I hope everyone had a great holiday week last week. I know the Adams Family did, and everyone is back to work this week. Continuity has taken on the last two episodes of the “Stan Lee Time Jumper” animated Series and it has been very exciting. It is in a different style than what we did with the “Astonishing Xmen” motion comic project. I believe our “Time Jumper” episode#9 will be out on Itunes at the end of this month. We are adding artwork and editorial editing to help make this a dynamic series for Disney.

Astonishing Xmen Episode#6 on sale at Itunes from Marvel. The last episode of the first series is on sale at Itunes. The episode leaves you on a cliffhanger. Who is talking behind Emma in the last frame????

Batman Odyssey has been made larger. We have just penned an agreement for part 2 of the Odyssey which will be another 150 story. We are very excited on how this project is moving along . We are gathering together the top talent of the field to work with Neal on the inking chores of this fantastic series. I will keep you posted on when DC will be putting it out. Neal handed in the plots and scripts for the new second half of “Batman Odyssey “this week. And I decided to show a little Scott Williams inking on Neal.

First Wave. Neal did a dynamic cover over the holiday week, which Moose Bauman did a great job in coloring up for us. I have posted it to the side. Too bad it is a variant cover so keep your eyes peeled at the comic store.

More exciting news to come next week with more exciting art.
