"Death, Jr. 2" online order details

If you want to grab a copy of the new graphic novel online, here's at least one reputable site where it's available: Things From Another World.

Here's a direct link where you can put it in your shopping cart and earn a whopping $1.50 discount.

Oh, and here finally is a proper look at Arvin Bautista's cover artwork.

Now appearing on Facebook

I really hate most of these social networking sites and resisted them for a long time. Particularly MySpace, which looks to me like someone dialed the internet ten years back in time to when almost all sites were hosted by Geocities *shudder*.

But Facebook I guess is pretty cool and my old chum Gary Liddon convinced me to give it a go. So here I am.

"Death, Jr. 2" trade paperback

Yup, it's in stores NOW - just picked up my very own copy from the excellent Isotope Comics here in San Francisco.

Turns out the cover image I posted previously (culled from Image Comics' very own site) was not the actual cover. I can't find an accurate cover image online, so this will have to do:

San Diego Comic-Con

Wow, is it that time again already? AWESOME!

I'll be there again this year for the fourth year running. Come by on Thursday 26th July where I'll appearing on a panel about how to break into the games industry.

There's a chance that Ted Naifeh and I may also be signing copies of the new "Death, Jr." graphic novel too, but nothing confirmed. Stay tuned...

"The Book of Eli"

Here's some big news in Gazland: I recently sold an original movie screenplay called "The Book of Eli" to Warner Bros. for Silver Pictures to produce. It's a post-apocalyptic drama, and we're currently in development. Allen and Albert Hughes (Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, American Pimp, From Hell) are directing. You can read more about the project here in Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

This is all very exciting - more news as it develops. In the meantime I'm working on a couple of other really cool film projects which I hope to be able to talk about in more detail soon...

Hey, I met Simon Pegg

Recently I attended a screening of the excellent "Hot Fuzz" attended by Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost. Thanks to my awesome chum Darick Robertson who is buds with the Peggster, we all got together at Simon's hotel after the screening to bitch about the Star Wars prequels and drink lots of beer. Fried gold!

"Death, Jr. 2" trade paperback out now!

According to the Image Comics website the latest "Death, Jr." trade paperback, collecting all three issues of the most recent comic series, is shipping to comic-book stores right now! WOOT! And here's a glimpse of the excellent cover art by Arvin Bautista.

This is probably the last excursion into the comic-book world of "Death, Jr." for myself and artist Ted Naifeh as we're both busy with other projects for the forseeable future. But DJ keeps going strong with new videogame titles for both PSP and Nintendo DS, and a Pandora-centric manga spin-off. There's even a range of Halloween costumes! And there's always the chance of a "Death, Jr." movie at some point down the road. Stay tuned.

"Death, Jr." is complete

Well, we have at last wrapped up the latest (and probably final) run of "Death, Jr." comic-books. The second and third (and final) installment were recently published and they look great - as usual Ted Naifeh did a fantastic job on the artwork.

Here are the covers for Issues #2 and #3:
