This is a screen shot of my two monitors. The top one is my mail monitor where I keep most of my palates. The lower one is my Cintiq (12 inch) where I do my inking. I keep my tool bar on this screen for easy access. Feel free to ask any questions about it and I’ll do my best to answer!

It was written by the  wonderful Herb Mallette and inked by Walden Wong who later became my inker on Deadpool. As I look back on the pages I am struck by how I still have many of the same layout and design sensibilities.

Here’s a few samples–

Fabian Nicieza and I are launching a new title in September called Legion Lost!

The book involves Legion characters on a mission in our time to save the future. When their technology fails them they become trapped in the present day.  Will they save their future or destroy our present?

Brad Anderson is providing astounding colors as usual and Fabian has really outdone himself on scripts! Cannot wait for you to see it!
