Best Neal Adams Summer Ever !!!

If you are a true Neal Adams fan, this is the summer for you! We have a fantastic book coming out from Vanguard. I have enclosed below some of the spreads from the book. This book covers more ground than any book on Neal Adams to date. I have seen Ben Casey , early commercial work, a hard to find Vietnam story that rips your heart out. Traditional comic superhero work. Work that he did for Warren. It has a lot of work I have not seen printed for a very long time. Continuity has really opened all the vaults for this book.

We also have "Savage 2" coming out from Continuity this summer. If you are into Savages and

Jungle type men this is the sketchbook for you. It is the second one in a series of Savage books that Continuity has put out. I have a copy right next to me and I see presentation work for a Sinbad show that Neal worked on and great hunky savage types.

"Batman Odyssey' will be out this summer

We handed in more penciled pages this week. We are 15 pages into Issue#8 . And Neal is inking away on issues one and two. We also started color on Issue#1. I will be showing some color work next week with those nice Neal Adams inks.

I think this is going to be a fantastic Neal Adams summer. I know I can't wait !

K:)

This is a very big week for Neal Adams and Continuity.

“ BATMAN ODYSSEY, JULY 2010 ”

Neals Batman Odyssey project has been scheduled for July 2010 you can read about it on DC Comics blog. The Superman Vs Muhammad Ali project has also been announced with a June 2010 release. Two fantastic statues will be coming out this year. The Superman Vs Muhammad Ali statue as well as the Man Bat statue. The Man Bat statue, is part of the same series of statues as the Batman statue that came out a while ago. Both the Batman and Man Bat statues are sculpted by Jason (Spyda) Adams and they both are fantastic. Batman was an instant sell out and I’m sure Man Bat will be to. I also know a little secret……..I believe Man Bat is in Neal’s Odyssey project. Joy!

I also have some sneak peaks of the great new coloring of the Superman Vs Muhammad Ali comic done by Moose. The pages are looking great ! Make sure to reserve your copy at your comic retailer. This is the first reprinting of this book and they are doing it at the original size of the first printing, which those books go for $120.00 if you can find one.

I’m sure these will become collectible. A Hot Book!

Update on the Odyssey project for those that have been following. We have turned in the first 3 pages of pencils on Issue #8 And we will be handing over the first cover of the Odyssey project in color on Monday to DC. Not to much further to go…….

Have fun finding Easter Eggs . I know I will.

Yes, we are going to be working on another main stream character from the other company

We are proud to say that Neal just inked a deal to work on Wolverine. We at Continuity are very excited. I always like to work with both companies DC and Marvel and I am happy we are going to be doing that. I just put up some Wolverine pin up art to wet all of our appetites .

Now on to Batman news. Neal is completely done with pencils on the first series which is 6 issues. YEAH ! “I’m Happy” Six complete issues. “I felt I had to say it again” I hear I will be handing in the first 5 pages of the next book, “The Underworld” on Monday and we will also start working on the first cover of the series as well. Neal has been inking along with penciling so I know everyone will be happy.

Commercial Work

We are happy to say that Continuity has another commercial that we worked on the animation part of on TV right now for Dannon Danonino. This is not CGI like the Nasonex Bee that we are known for. This is done with traditional art animation. I know I’m going to go out and buy some this weekend.

Next week I will be showing some color work on the Superman Vs Muhammad Ali project and more Batman of course. Also don’t forget to check out Astonishing Xmen on Itunes as well as the last two episodes of Time Jumpers.

Have a great weekend I know the Adams family will be sledding in Prospect Park this weekend. Keep warm and enjoy the rest of our site.

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.

Kris's World "Big Fight"

I hope everyone is having a great Holiday week.

DC Comics announced the reprinting and reformatting of the Greatest fight ever “Superman Vs Muhammad Ali” I’m very excited about this. This was the first job I worked on when I started working at Continuity. I got to do the zip-a-tone work. DC is doing two formats, one is a deluxe hardcover featuring an expanded sketch section and additional content (that I am digging through the vault for ) layouts and sketches. Neal will also be doing a new cover for this. As soon as we figure out the new cover I will show it on Kris's World. The second edition is in its original big trim size with the original cover. Continuity will be overseeing the re-color of this magnificent work.

Astonishing Xmen # 5 is also now on sale through Itunes. This is one of Continuity’s favorite episodes. The acting in the animation is really great.

Batman “Odyssey" We handed in another 5 pages of pencils, which brings our page count to 125 pages and one more issue to go.

Please visit our Store. Jason has a great sale going on which ends on January 4^th. I just don’t want you to miss it.

I see some Time Jumping in my future….. Happy New Year.

Ben Casey on Kris's World

Ben Casey to the Rescue ! ?

Today’s PVP strip is a remake of the first Ben Casey daily. I felt I needed to put it up today. Even the word balloon is the same.
