Brightest Day United

[Joel]

Hey all, just wanted to share the Brightest Day variant covers I recently worked on with Ryan Sook and Fernando Pasarin. It was a massive undertaking that exceeded my expectations!

In October, I will be attending this year's New York Comic Con along with several of the other artists here. I will be sharing an Artist's Alley table with the amazing Beth Sotelo (@midimew), as well as signing at the DC Booth.

I'm also excited to mention ICONS: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee, in which I had the fortune of working with Jim Lee and Scott Williams on a Legion of Super-Heroes short story, a dream come true for me.

Lastly, I wanted to mention an interview I had recently done with DeWayne Feestra, for Randumb Idiocy. For those who ever wondered what I did here, or how I broke in, check it out.

Brightest Day & Iron Saint

[JOEL]

Hey all, just wanted to update everyone on some new stuff I have coming up. I just wrapped-up the huge undertaking of collaborating with Ryan Sook, and Fernando Passarin on 12 Brightest Day alternate covers, and man, is it exciting to see this coming together! I don't think I've collaborated on anything at this scale, and excitedly look forward to finally seeing the covers printed, which will span several of DC Comic's top titles, look for that beginning in August.

I will also be working on back-up stories for the four issue mini-series "Telara Chronicles," based on the PC game Rift: The Planes of Telara, available in September.

Lastly, before I started here at WildStorm, Francis Manapul and I worked on a mini-series originally printed by Aspen Comics called "Iron and the Maiden." Above, is an establishing shot from issue 2. It's one of the coolest, most over-the-top projects I got to collaborate on (thanks to Jason Rubin) and is now being collected by Top Cow Productions, available at SDCC 2010 with a new title: "Iron Saint!!"

Be sure to swing by the Top Cow booth, where creator Jason Rubin (Crash Bandicoot, and Jak & Daxter) will be signing copies on Friday & Saturday, be sure and tell 'em Joel sent ya!

Brightest Day 1 cover

[Scott]

Cover for Brightest Day # 1 by the incomparable Dave Finch. What's funny is, he didn't really seem to be happy with the drawing--too static and posed I think he said.

I thought it looked great. I wasn't too thrilled with my inks--I thought they were kind of slick and standard, in that I didn't really take any chances or experiment on it--but Dave loved it!

So there you go. Everyone is their own harshest critic. That's probably a GOOD thing.
