I’m currently halfway through drawing issue 6 of VIBE which will be my final issue. The next major project I do will not be a DC project. With all the sensationalism that goes on these days I feel I should make several things clear. First- I LOVE working on VIBE and hate to leave it. It’s a fantastic book and exactly what fans always say they want. Sterling Gates is doing a kick-ass job and there’s
I often talk about how much I prefer Manga Studio over Photoshop for digital inking. Photoshop is by far the superior product for coloring comics, but since it’s a tool made for a wide range of uses I feel it lacks some comic specific features that make Manga Studio the better tool for digital inks.

I’ll stop banging this drum after today. Promise. Action Comics 900 was the culmination of a years work and we’re all very proud of the results. Naturally I’m very pleased that readers and critics have responded well to it. Here’s links to more reviews “Action Comics #900 is an example of why I love the comic book medium” Shawn Speakman, Suvudu.com “The Black Ring Finale: Reign of
As you may recall (since I’ve been posting about it all week) Action Comics 900 hits the stands today.
