It’s the year 3797, and botanist Nika Temsmith is researching a strange species on a remote science station near the outermost rim of colonized space. It’s the year 1921, and renowned English explorer William Pike leads an expedition into the dense jungles of Peru in search of the fabled “Lost Temple of the Incas,” an elusive sanctuary said to have strange healing properties. Two disparate souls separated by thousands of years and hundreds of millions of miles. Yet they will fall in love and, as a result, bring about the end of the universe. Even though reality is unraveling all around them, nothing can pull them apart. This isn’t just a love story; It’s the LAST love story ever told.

Trillium is an 8-issue series that combines rich historical adventure and mind-bending science fiction into a sprawling, unconventional love story by Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH, GREEN ARROW, ANIMAL MAN).

This amazing miniseries kicks off with 28-pages of story in a flip-book with two covers and two separate but connected stories that offer a unique reading experience.

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER!

One of Amazon's Top 10 Graphic Novels of 2012!

Amazon.ca's #1 Best Graphic Novel of 2012!

Discover the triumphant new graphic novel from the author of Essex County.

"The most spectacular episode of The Twilight Zone that was never produced. I really, really care about the people in this story... And I can pretty much guarantee you will too." -- From the introduction by Damon Lindelof (LOST, Star Trek, Prometheus)

"With The Underwater Welder, Jeff Lemire has created a moving, brilliant, and fiercely original work about loss, longing, and love. Full of piercing moments that will stay with you for long after you've finished reading, The Underwater Welder is a testament to the basic truth that down in the depths or up on land, there's nothing more haunting and wondrous than the human heart. A masterpiece of visual storytelling." -- Scott Snyder (Batman, Swamp Thing, American Vampire)

"Lemire’s stylized art and inventive panel structure is the perfect vehicle for his well-told story, and the tale’s poignant moments make the moments of desolation even more heart-wrenching... A beautiful, moving, wholly satisfying story about fatherhood and growing up." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"[Lemire] has not lost his ability to pack an emotional wallop." -- George Gustines,The New York Times

"The Underwater Welder... is all kinds of wonderful. Buy it. You will wet yourself with tears, your brain will spin from masterful storytelling, and you will love it." -- Jeff Jensen, Entertainment Weekly

"Wise and moving... these pages are poignant and masterful, and represent some of the very best work [Lemire]'s ever done." -- Glen Weldon, NPR

"The Underwater Welder is one of the most haunting, arresting, and unforgettable books of the last year -- make that of the last ten years... an otherworldly, beautiful, and heartwarming story that transports the reader to a place unlike any other. An emotional and moving work of graphic literature that compels the medium forward and the reader further down into the deep." -- John Parker, ComicsAlliance

"The Underwater Welder is an early contender for the year's best comic book... a richly-detailed story with characters that are all deeply flawed and undoubtedly human... once you pick it up you'll wish it never ended." -- Jason Serafino, Complex

"It's a visually stunning and emotionally gripping read, so dive in." -- CBC Books

“This vividly entertaining and illuminating graphic novel by Jeff Lemire represents a synthesis of all his best past achievements, and points the way toward broad new horizons for this talented young artist.” -- Paul Di Filippo, The Barnes & Noble Review

"Haunting... Underwater Welder is just the right blend of action and abstraction, and greatly enhanced by Lemire's ability to signal movement, time and distance through clever arrangement of his panels on the page." -- Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

"A spectacularly unpredictable reading experience... a roughly 220-page tour de force with enough emotional resonance that you might find yourself wiping away a single tear while closing the book’s final page. Thus far, this is my favorite original graphic novel of the year." -- Erik Norris, IGN

"Beautiful... Lemire’s command of pacing and his ability to come up with just the right image at just the right moment are a wonder." -- Noel Murray, The AV Club

"Like all of Lemire's work, [The Underwater Welder] packs an emotional gut punch that hits you when you're not expecting it. It's sure to stand as one of the year's best books in any medium." --Ryan Hamm, Under the Radar

"Lemire is at the top of his game here... The Underwater Welder is the story of consciously choosing your life’s direction and running with wild abandon and joy toward it." -- Jenny Christopher Randle, New York Journal of Books

WARNING: CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE.

As an underwater welder on an oilrig off the coast of Nova Scotia, Jack Joseph is used to the immense pressures of deep-sea work. Nothing, however, could prepare him for the pressures of impending fatherhood. As Jack dives deeper and deeper, he seems to pull further and further away from his young wife and their unborn son. Then one night, deep in the icy solitude of the ocean floor, something unexplainable happens. Jack has a mysterious and supernatural encounter that will change the course of his life forever.

Equal parts blue-collar character study and mind-bending mystery, The Underwater Welder is a graphic novel about fathers and sons, birth and death, memory and reality, and the treasures we all bury deep below the surface.

A 224-page softcover with French flaps, 6.88" x 10.44".

This critically-acclaimed graphic novel was recently chosen as one of Canada Reads’ Top 5 Essential Canadian Novels of the Decade! It is also the winner of the American Library Association’s Alex Award, the Doug Wright Award, and the Joe Shuster Award. And here's a brand new printing!

"A rich tapestry ... Mr. Lemire infuses his characters with vivid details that make them burst to life." -- George Gene Gustines, The New York Times

"Jeff Lemire's Essex County trilogy represents one of the most remarkable recent achievements in indie comics: three interlocking graphic novels about the mysteries and melancholy of a small Canadian farming community, rendered in a distinctive style and turned out surprisingly quickly." -- The AV Club

"Essex County is a tremendous achievement ... This heartfelt piece of graphic literature surpasses its form to stand as an enduring example of the finest in Canadian literature." -- from the introduction by Darwyn Cooke

"The subtle inter-weaving of Jeff Lemire's Essex County Trilogy is brilliant and constantly surprising. The cumulative impact left a lump in my throat." -- Jeff Smith, creator of Bone and RASL

"These three books on Canadian lives are individually striking, and cumulatively stunning." -- Paul Gravett, author of Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life

"This is the comics medium at its best." -- Booklist (from one of three starred reviews)

Where does a young boy turn when his whole world suddenly disappears? What could change two brothers from an unstoppable team into a pair of bitterly estranged loners? How does the work of one middle-aged nurse reveal the scars of an entire community, and can anything heal the wounds caused by a century of deception?

Set in an imaginary version of Jeff Lemire’s hometown, ESSEX COUNTY is an intimate study of an eccentric farming community, and a tender meditation on family, memory, grief, secrets, and reconciliation. With the lush, expressive inking of a cartoonist at the height of his powers, Lemire draws us in and sets us free. -- a 512-page softcover graphic novel with French flaps, 6 1/2" x 9", Diamond: JUN091069

DAMON LINDELOF SWEET TOOTH FINALE INTERVIEW

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Lemire) — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:38:00 +0000

LOST co-creator and STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS / PROMETHEUS screenwriter DAMON LINDELOF has interviewed me about the end of Sweet Tooth over at Comic Book Resources.

Issue 40 also received a 5-star review at CBR, saying...

"I have no doubt readers will set up their back issues to relive the entire tale once more after closing this issue, while those who came late to the story will undoubtedly seek out the entirety. This series has been unique and heralded as such, but "Sweet Tooth" #40 is, quite simply, the best single-issue story in the story of the boy with antlers."

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY has posted a new interview with me regarding the final issue of my Vertigo series SWEET TOOTH which was released yesterday...

JOSE VILLARRUBIA REFLECTS ON SWEET TOOTH

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Lemire) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 17:48:00 +0000

My wonderful collaborator, the talented colourist of Sweet Tooth, Jose Villarrubia, handed in his final beautiful colours for issue 40 of Sweet Tooth this morning. Afterwards he posted the comment below on his Facebook page. I thought I'd share it...

"I just realized, as I turn in the last pages of Sweet Tooth #40, the final installment of this saga, that at about a whooping 800 pages this has been by far my longest effort in comics, and in many big and small ways, the most satisfying. I

owe it all to my dear friend Jeff Lemire, for trusting me with his baby, and also to the great editors: Bob Schreck, Brandon Montclare, Pornsak Pichetshote, Mark Doyle and Greg Lockard. But I specially want to mention Karen Berger, who broke the rules of the mainstream market so many times, enabling this, and many other types of book to exist, and has left the American market a better place. Without Karen's support you would not have read Sweet Tooth as it stands, and that would have been a shame..."

EXCLUSIVE! Jeff Lemire Takes Aim At 'Green Arrow'

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Lemire) — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:28:00 +0000

EXCLUSIVE! Jeff Lemire Takes Aim At 'Green Arrow'

Posted 21 mins ago by Alex Zalben in Comic Books, DC Comic via MTV GEEK

We already broke the news this morning that writer Jeff Lemire - best known for his supernatural and scifi work in books like 'Sweet Tooth' and 'Justice League Dark' - is taking it to the streets as the new writer of DC Comics' Green Arrow. His run isn't starting until February, to coincide with Oliver Queen's new status as a member of the Justice League of America; but we snagged you a first look at the art by Andrea Sorrentino, and an essay about Green Arrow from Lemire himself:

“How about Green Arrow?”
It was a sunny day in late July, a few days after I’d returned home from San Diego Comicon, and Dan Didio had called me. I had talked to Dan at Comicon about what I would write next. We had bounced a few things around at the Con, but nothing stuck. So when Dan called that afternoon, I wasn’t sure what to expect. When he asked me, “How about Green Arrow?” I paused. Oliver Queen was never a character I’d had any particular affection for. I love DC comics and love DC characters, but Green Arrow was never one of the guys I gravitated towards. Yet, for some reason, as soon as Dan said it, something sparked in my head. At that moment, I wasn’t sure why, but something told me this was exactly the kind of book and kind of character I was searching for.
Green Arrow is a character that always has the potential to be a major player in the DCU. When I took on Animal Man, I immediately saw it as a chance to do my version of the classic Vertigo horror/superhero books I loved as a teenager. And, similarly, the first thing I thought of with Green Arrow was a chance to do a really hard hitting, crime/superhero book in the tradition of Mike Grell’s classic run on the character or Denny O’Neil’s The Question comics from the late 80’s early 90’s. Quite simply, I wanted to make Green Arrow a hunter again. A street level hero of the gutters caught up in a world of violence, betrayal and conspiracy.
My ever growing plans for the book will build a huge new mythology around Green Arrow’s legacy and send him across the globe, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a deadly new cast of villains with mysterious ties to his past. And I knew that if I wanted to pull it off, I’d need one hell of an artist, someone who could match the new vision for Green Arrow that I was after.
Andrea Sorrentino’s stark and beautiful artwork on I, Vampire had caught my eye last year when I was looking at preview copies of the New 52 books. And, I’ve continued to follow him ever since. While his work is perfectly suited for the horror vibe of Vampire, I thought that putting him on a character like Green Arrow would create an amazing tension and a really unique take on a DCU superhero. And boy, was I right. His work so far in Green Arrow has been the absolute best of his career. This is one beautiful looking comic book.
It really is a brand new day for The Emerald Archer. I’ve fallen in love with writing this book and this character. I can only hope that a fraction of the excitement that both Andrea are feeling while working on Green Arrow translates onto the page and you’ll give the book a chance come February when our first action-packed arc, THE KILL MACHINE debuts with Issue #17. I intend to hurt Oliver Queen. Strip him down to the bone and force him to rise up and become the hero he was destined to be. I hope you come along for the ride.
So, “How about Green Arrow?”

Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's run starts in February, in Green Arrow #17. Here's a full look at the cover, below:

I'm The new Writer of GREEN ARROW!

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Lemire) — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 15:13:00 +0000

As announced this morning on MTV, I will be taking over as the writer of DC Comics monthly GREEN ARROW series with Issue 17 in February!

Joining me as the series' new artist will be the incredible Andrea Sorentinno (I Vampire).

I couldn't be more excited about the character and the series and have a bold new direction for the book planned. Keep an eye on DC's Blog THE SOURCE later this afternoon for more details on what I have planned as well as an exclusive first look at Andrea's art for the series!

MY COMPLETE BIBLIOGRAPHY

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Lemire) — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 00:35:00 +0000

I've been meaning to put together a comprehensive bibliography of all my comics work for some time. Looking at what I've compiled, I realized I've actually drawn over 1900 pages of published comics since 2005! Most of that I wrote as well. That doesn't include the comics which I wrote for DC in that time (to date I've written over 1100 pages of comics for other artist) for a total of just over 3000 pages of published comics since 2005!

And before you email to ask, I have NO copies of any of the out of print books for sale, sorry.

Announcing TRILLIUM

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Lemire) — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 00:21:00 +0000

Arriving in 2013, Vertigo will publish TRILLIUM, a limited series written and illustrated by the incomparable Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Animal Man, Justice League Dark, Essex County Trilogy, Ghosts).

We asked Lemire to share some thoughts about the new series and here’s what he said: “As Sweet Tooth moved towards its conclusion earlier this year, I started to look ahead to what my next creator-owned project for DC/Vertigo could be. I pitched a number of ideas to editor Mark Doyle that I wasn't totally happy with. Finally he pushed me to leave my comfort zone, and get away from the genres and themes that I'd become known for.

Sci-Fi is something I've wanted to tackle for a while. I experimented a bit with it last year when I did the ULTRA THE MULTI-ALIEN short story for Vertigo's STRANGE ADVENTURES anthology and enjoyed that project so much that I was eager to do more. I've also always wanted to do a really powerful, human love story. There have been so few love stories done really well in comics. Preacher and Blankets come to mind as recent successes, but in my mind, it’s still a difficult and rather unexplored genre in the comics medium. It seemed like just the kind of challenge Mark was pushing me to undertake. So, I combined these two interests along with my ongoing fascination with in World War 1, and turn of the century exploration, and the results are TRILLIUM.”

It’s the year 3797 and botanist Nika Temsmith is researching a species of strange plant-based life forms on a remote science station near the outermost rim of colonized space.

It’s the year 1921, and war-scarred explorer William Pike leads an expedition into the dense jungles of Peru in search of the fabled “Lost Temple of The Incas,” an elusive sanctuary said to have strange healing properties.

Two disparate souls separated by thousands of years and hundreds of millions of miles. Yet they will fall in love and, as a result, bring about the end of the universe. Even though reality is unraveling all around them, nothing can pull them apart. This isn’t just a love story, it’s the last love story ever told.

Lemire continued, “It will be my most ambitious creator-owned project and my most challenging. I think fans of my previous work will see traces of both SWEET TOOTH and THE UNDERWATER WELDER in its chemistry, but I really do want to push myself in new directions as well.

TRILLIUM is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller about the end of the universe. And, it's a story about the dawn of human exploration and its natural conclusion thousands of years away. But most of all it’s a love story. And I can't wait to share it with you.”
