Batman ,Batman, Batman & Monster's

What has happened in Kris's World this week?

Neal Adams has handed in the final Issue of Pencils for Batman Odyssey #13 this week. It is

complete. (I hear clapping and cheering.) Neal has already started inking this last issue and it rocks.

We have our first e-comicbook, Neal Adams graphic novel "Monsters". If you are interested in

downloading it at a cost of $4.99 please go to graphicly.com in the publishers section. It is under Neal Adams. It looks fantastic and is a great read. What I love most is that you really can enlarge the pages and see the fabulous art. I will say I like the experience of seeing it on my ipad over seeing it in print (and I love print) but this looks really really great on a computer. A must-see experience.

I also wanted to let you in on our Issue#7 of Batman Odyssey. I did go out and get some guest inkers. I have the fantastic Paul Neary for 5 pages. I have the fantastic Bill Sienkiewicz and I have (1) Michael Golden page from the GoldenOne and I have of course the great Neal Adams inking as well. We also had great coloring done on this book by Ginger Karalexis, Cory Adams and Moose. We just sent in the final coloring on this book today and I think it is the best Issue yet and I am so happy that all these great people worked with me to make this book look great.

There are days that I step back and have to say "Who is luckier than me? I get to work with the most talented people in comics." I do feel this today, big time!

We will also be going into the vaults of Continuity Comics and will be pulling out some of our favorite comics revampng them a little bit and putting them up in the new Neal Adams section on Graphic.ly. Continuity Comics goes e-comics.

Next week "Blood"

Kris's Worlds One Year Aniversary

I thought it was appropriate to party with the one and only party man himself Joker....... I can't believe I started this a year ago. I sure have had a lot of fun. And I promise this year will be even better. I convinced them to put final cut pro in my computer so that I can film the crazy things that go on at Continuity during the week and then I can make videos to share with you. I really enjoyed doing the video of what we had for sale at the New York Comic Con and it was nice to meet a lot of you that seem to really enjoy Kris's World. That was really,really nice.

So lets get on with this week.......

I decided since we are in the heat of "Batman Odyssey" to make my page almost all about that.

I am very excited to say that you can pick up Batman Odyssey #5 next week while your eating Thanksgiving dinner. What a good book to read while digesting the best meal of the year!

I also wanted to share a page that came in from Batman Odyssey #6. Who is the guest inker for this book????? Drum roll please........ Bill Sienkiewicz. Yes, Bill is inking Issue #6 and its a great combination. We are very excited that Bill is working with us on this adventure. Tell me what you guys think. Who else do you think I should try and get to ink over Neal's pencils?

We have beautiful color work from interior pages of Batman Odyssey #5 as well.

Next week I will be showing the cover to Batman Odyssey #7. So check out my site next week

while enjoying the holiday.

Kris:)

PS I pulled out the famous Adams Family recipe for Thanksgiving stuffing.

Everything we are taking to NY Comic con

Well, I did promise that I would list and show almost everything that we will have at our Booth at comic con. (We are booth #2164) So I made a movie because I could not fit all the great images of work from all the books and statues and shirts that we will be selling at the show. Please check

out my show and if you like this way of seeing what goes on at Continuity I can every once in a while do a movie like this. I hope you enjoy it.

Batman Odyssey #4 ships this week (I'm very excited) I think it is the best Issue so far.

Neal is busy inking away on Issue #5 which also looks fantastic, I can't wait to share. I hope to meet everyone at New York Comic con next weekend!

Almost forgot. You can buy all this product that I mentioned in my video at our store. Just say

you saw it in our video.

Till then

Batman Odyssey #4 leaves for the printer !

I am very excited about Batman Odyssey this week . We finished the color on Issue#4 and it

looks great.We are now inking Odyssey #5. We handed in Page 20 in pencil on Batman Issue #11. It is definitely moving along. I am hoping Batman Odyssey #4 is out in time for the New York Comic con that we will be attending. We will be selling the new "Art of Neal Adams from Vanguard, The Batman Odyssey #3 cover T-shirt from Graphitti Design. All of the "Neal Adams Batman Illustrated" books from DC , "The 4 Adams" book , all of Neal's sketchbooks, Original art and so much more.

Now I want to discuss what I have put up in art this week.

The piece on the top of my site is a piece from Batman Odyssey #4. The piece that is still being

inked to the right is from Batman Odyssey #5 and the pencil spread below is from Batman Odyssey #6. I feel like the story is really moving along. Every time I read the books I notice another piece of story, so make sure you go back and read the first couple of issues and you'll see what I mean. It's starting to really come together. Neal has left many clues that I think you have to be patient about. Why does Neal keep going back every issue to Bruce Wayne? It's not something that Neal does??? Who is Bruce Wayne talking to?

I will be updating again on Tuesday. I will be making a list of what we are doing at the comic con as well as showing some sneak peaks of art that Neal is doing for a Gallery show.I might just have some video of Neal painting.

Stay Tuned

You have to get this Book "The Art Of Neal Adams"

Hi Everybody,

I am back from the summer fun and ready to start blogging again. This week I decided to write about the new "Art of Neal Adams " book that just came out from Vanguard this week.

I believe this is the best book that has ever come out of my dad's work. My brother Jason designed and picked the pieces that are in this book. We decided to dig deep into the art drawers and make, the best book so far of Neal's work. (That so far means I want to do another one.)

It starts with pages that Neal did while he was in high school and leads into his first commercial job for Johnstone and Cushing, which was how to make Fish prints. I got this piece of art from Bob Le Rose and I coudn't believe that my father actually bought a fish and printed with it. (Somehow I thought that was cheating. Why didn't you draw it?)The book than goes on to his Archie Joke pages which I did get a chuckle when I read "Jughead In Soup's On." The book then goes onto some Ben Casey work with the photos that Neal shot of himself as Ben Casey so that he would get the intense acting that he wanted to draw in his strip. Chapter 3 is Neal's comic art which we pulled pieces that are well known and pieces of "Son of God" which might not be as known. It has Neal's Savage paintings and Movie Poster paintings all very large on the pages. (I personally hate when I can't see the art really big) It has some of Neal's commercial work that we have done with well known superheroes and it even has a chapter on Theme Park design work that Neal has done. The book is beautifully printed with really rich color. I have a hard time putting it down. I like to flip through it when I really should be making phone calls looking for work.

THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK ! And I know you will agree. I have loaded some of the images from the book so that you can see what I am talking about.My page has 6 pages from the book for you to see. We are selling this in our store on the first page of our site. Just look for the STORE button and I know the bigger comic stores will be carrying it as well.

Now on to Batman Odyssey.

We are very close to finishing the color up on Book #4 which ships in October and we handed in up to page 15 of Issue #11. Neal is cruising.......

Heading to San Diego Comic Con

This is a big exciting week at Continuity. Batman Odyssey is out and doing well. I hear rumor of a lot of re-ordering by the stores so make sure you get your copy before they run out. I know I have my copy stashed away. We had a fantastic and exciting signing at Midtown Comics last weekend that had great people with great conversations as Neal signed away. I must say the people at Midtown comics are the greatest they really made us feel at home and they have a fantastic store. All I saw was lots and lots of happy people discussing the Batman Odyssey while on line waiting for signatures.

So here is my update on what we have handed in to date on Batman Odyssey ..... Neal handed in page 15 of Odyssey episode #10 in pencil. We are handing in the complete coloring of Batman Odyssey #2 this week and it looks fantastic. I am bursting to tell everybody what happens in it.. Neal is inking away on Odyssey #3 and Scott Williams is inking away on Odyssey #4. I must say his pages look great.

Check out the cover for Odyssey #4 on the side. Batman looks really tortured by something that has happened. I also have put up some more penciled pages as a sneak peak of what's to come. I love the piece with the guy getting his tooth knocked out by Batman.

On to more news.

Everyone at Continuity is leaving this weekend to head down to our LA office and then down to San Diego. All of my brothers are busy with the new sketchbooks they are making to sell at Comic Con. I believe Jason Spyda Adams is giving away all of his trade secrets in his book on sculpting and I believe it has pictures a long the way to illustrate what he is talking about. He will also be selling his sculptures and he always has a great display booth of all his sculptures, come and look and talk to him.

Joel Adams is displaying his "Little Creatures of the Night" He will be selling T-shirts of the "Lilz" and I here he has made some Skateboard decks with the "Lilz". I have creatures of the Night displayed lower on my page.

Josh Adams has also made a sketchbook of a lot of his best pieces and I must say his Gallery piece in the back of Batman Odyssey is a great piece. Inked by Kevin Nowlan. Josh will be at the convention so you can get Neal and Josh Adams to sign Batman Odyssey at the booth.

Next.....drum roll please.......Yes, Neal Adams will also be at the convention signing away very happily his Batman Odyssey project that he is very happy about. He loves being back on Batman.We will be selling Sketchbooks of Neals, T-shirts of Batman Odyssey, Batman Books, Original Art. I hear he even has a couple of pages for sale of Batman Odyssey #1 up at Heroic Fine Arts that will also be at the convention. I can't believe Neal is selling his pages from Batman Odyssey #1. Be the first to own one. We will have other pieces of art for sale at our table as well.

I will be showing up at Comic con for Friday and the weekend. I will take photos of who shows up at our booth and on Monday I will add a list of all the panels Neal will be doing.

So see you at Comic con
