Last Will Comes Out Tomorrow

After a full year (longer?) absence, I finally get back to the real business of comics on Wednesday as DC Comics publishes Last Will & Testament. And yes, I’ve had this story in my head since JLA. If I had two more issues, this is what I would’ve told. The odd part is, I thought someone else in a different book was going to tell the tale (or wrap it up differently), but when they didn’t, well...this was the perfect format. So there’s where the Geo-Force/Deathstroke storyline comes from. As for the rest...there’s lots of good stuff planned this year. Just like JLA 0, hints abound throughout the issue.


And as for Adam Kubert (and did I mention his guest inker Joe Kubert?), just wait till you see his Deathstroke. I miss comics so damn much.


A preview has been posted on Newsarama.

And watch here over the next week. Lots of cool stuff coming.

Whedon, Lindelof, Hitchens, BKV, AJ

It’s getting just woowoo here. Interviews are starting, invitations to book signings are going out, and this is seeming far closer than I realized. DC Universe: Last Will & Testament is published next week. And below is the trailer for the new novel. I wrote it about six months ago, then called in a few friends. :)


Special thanks to Brandon Graham and Expanded Books, who filmed it and put up with my insanity.

Coming Home To Comics

For those who didn’t see it, here’s the news about the new comic, DC Universe 1: Last Will and Testament. It’s been in the works for a while now, and I'm so excited to see the news out there. Feels like coming home for sure. And even including a few new characters I’ve never played with before. Sorry to be cryptic over the past few weeks, but that’s modern comics. As for Adam Kubert, the man is just incredible. Wait till you see the magic. Anyway, the comic will be out the week before the new novel, The Book of Lies. And for more on that...we are days away.



Thanks to all who made me miss it so much.
