Between The Staples

Alright kids. Here you go, the new Zeros 2 Heroes Comic Creation Nation launch is happening! Now you can check out the books I have been working on, Abigail’s War & Gustav Hayes, plus all the other great books that got created.

Abigail’s War
Written by Jennica Harper and stunning artwork by Sandrine Replat, lettering by Ed Brisson

I had a BLAST working on Abigail’s War mainly because I had the opportunity to work with two great people - Jennica and Sandrine! I enjoyed the fact that Abigail’s War is NOT your typical super-hero wham, bam comic book. It is a lovely story of a young woman trying to come to grips with her past and her future in a time past. I asked to be the editor on this book as I felt it had that Vertigo-ish feel to the story that Jennica wrote and Sandrine made come to life on the pages. Also a big shout out to Ed Brisson and his great lettering on the book that gave it such a haunting feel!

Gustav Hayes: Lounge Singer of the Apocalypse
Written by Morgan Jeske, art by Daniel Bradford and Cristian Valdes, lettering by Chris Studabaker

This was a GREAT & FUN book to work on with Morgan and Daniel. This book has the potential to become a great series and I look forward to more issues of Gustav Hayes to come in the future as I know this will be a big hit! Morgan was wonderful to work with and already let me have a sneak peek at issues #2 & 3 and all I can say is that this first issue is just scratching the surface to a great world of Gustav Hayes! Oh and remember the name Daniel Bradford! He is a diamond in the rough to become a great comic book artist!

Please take the time to go through these great books (Mind Crimes, Minus Zero, Slaughter Inc., Rip Current, The Mix, Deutschmaschine, Alma: Jumbo the Elephant, Lotus, Knightcap: November’s Song, Black Jack O’Breen, Hero High, The Brothers McElroy, Blake Undying, Supremacy: Dawn of Heroes) and all the Comic Creation Nation books on the Zeros 2 Heroes site. Tell them which books you liked and didn’t like, voice up and give some great online support to these wonderful books! No — I get no extra monies or stickers for pimping this out. I did 99% of my work for the love of comics (sorry, Crackerbob, I know I owe yah $ for using that saying) and I would appreciate the support with all these great books. Did I mention that they are FREE to view online? Yes, FREE, just go to the Zeros 2 Heroes website and enjoy!

I am very happy and proud to be apart of these books! Kudos to all my fellow editors - Josh Aiken, Alex Cieslik  & Andrew Foley — an awesome team and good fellas that I learned a great deal from! A biug shout out to Matt Toner for the opportunity and belief in everyone involed, Julian Lawrence our Zen Master and head editor, Jessica Leigh Clark for her encouragement and support and the rest of the Zeros 2 Heroes crew for all their great work!

I still remember my first meeting with Z2H and how I ended up at the wrong office, scrambling to phone Jessica on my cell, trying to get my email with her number with my laptop out on the grass just across from the Stadium Skytrain station in Vancouver. I was a mess, so nervous and worried (for what, I still don’t know) and the meeting was great. Zeros 2 Heroes is a great company with a sh**t loads of potential! A big shout out to my friend Brett for the heads up on Z2H over a year ago!
