Yesterday we posted the cover for The Tide of Blood #3. Today we’re going to do something different by posting the first page of the issue – with lettering.
The issue begins with a significant character (hint: his name is in the title…) in hiding as as fool at a bar. What happens when he is [...]

We have just received word from IDW Publishing (our publisher, obviously) and Diamond Comics (our distributor) that Issue #3 of The Tide of Blood (titled “Darkness Which the Blind Do See”) is being released next Wednesday (the 24th of April). It’s a fitting release day as it’s the day after the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth/death [...]

Just a quick note whilst in Anaheim for WonderCon (booth #608!)… Today I take a moment to celebrate the birthday of the heart and soul of Kill Shakespeare… artist Andy Belanger!
I wish I was in Montreal right now to celebrate with him (and perhaps recount our amazing April Fool’s Day joke of three years ago…) [...]

On Friday (the Ides of March) I posted the first page of Issue #2 of The Tide of Blood. Allow me to take a step back and feature another piece of art from the issue – the cover image!
Created by Andy Belanger, it’s a cover that nicely hints at the peril that the characters will [...]

Soothsayer:
Beware the ides of March.
Caesar:
What man is that?
Brutus:
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
So goes one of Shakespeare’s most popular lines. And yes, today is The Ides of March (the 15th of March). To recognize this day, I am posting a preview of the first page of our The Tide of Blood [...]

Andy and I, along with the uber-talented and amazing Becky Cloonan, headed to Guelph this past weekend to do a signing at The Dragon, the Eisner Award-winning comics retailer. It was a fun afternoon that involved visits from family members, theft of Eisner Awards, employee Tyler Jirik receiving a raise and then being fired and [...]
