My next assignment before starting in on my next long-form project is a quick fill-in issue for Mike Carey's Suicide Risk series, published by BOOM! Studios. It will be out in September.

Before Leo, before Memento Mori, before Diva…there was Ada Robins. When superpower slinging dealers Jed and Hailey find Adaa kindhearted, if downtrodden mother of twoshe had been watching her life fall apart in slow motion decades now, with no hope of putting it back together. Life having primed her for Jed and Hailey’s Faustian bargain, Ada finds herself at the moral crossroads finally have the freedom from crushing responsibility, or keep her beleaguered family together? And what’s stopping her, if she really thinks about it, from just having…both? A standalone tale perfect for new readers.

Good morning!

Helheim #2 is in stores and on Comixology today. The issue has sold out at the distributor level, so Oni Press is going back to print. Comic book stores are getting their orders today, so the book is out there, and hopefully there won't be much of a gap between printings.

The reprint will have this cover by James Stokoe.

Copies of #2 will be at Stumptown this weekend. Come see us at table J10. Oni Press may also have this Katie Cook variant there, but otherwise watch their site for more info. Ponies!

EDIT: You can buy copies of Katie's cover here while supplies last.

And hey, here is a peek at my covers for Helheim #3 and #4, colored by Nick Filardi, design by Keith Wood.

HELHEIM ART SHOW @ SEQUENTIAL ART GALLERY, APRIL 5

noreply@blogger.com (LAZYBONES JONES) — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 03:42:00 +0000

In anticipation of the Stumptown Comics Festival, Portland's Sequential Art Gallery will be showcasing Joëlle's art from Helheim. Details are below.

Also, remember you can preorder sketches to pick up at Stumptown now.

Set in the late 6th Century, the new series (from writer Cullen Bunn and Oni Press) blends vikings, witchcraft, and undead monsters into a deliciously violent and horrifying mystery. Copies of Helheim #1 will be available for purchase during the opening reception on Thursday, April 4th from 6pm – 10pm.

If you’re visiting from out of town next month (and with the Stumptown Comics Fest coming in a few weeks, why wouldn’t you be?) the exhibit will also be part of the Festival’s Art Gallery Tours on Saturday, April 27th & Sunday, April 28th. The Fest offers limited-seating guided tours of several Portland galleries, all featuring exhibits by illustrators and comic book artists. And they’re free to Fest attendees!

In the meantime, we’re excited to join Joëlle for the show’s opening on April 4th. Hope to see you there!

[Nitty gritty details: The Art of "Helheim" will be on display throughout the month of April, with gallery hours on Thursdays from 3pm-7pm, Saturdays from 11am-5pm, and by appointment. The exhibit will close at the end of the tours on Sunday, April 28th. The Sequential Art Gallery + Studio is located in Old Town Chinatown at the Everett Station Lofts, 328 NW Broadway #113.]
