The Venger: Dead Man's Revenge

A couple of years ago I published a Venger short story in the first issue of the Ronin Studios flagship title, the anthology series Ronin Illustrated. The story was beautifully illustrated by Victor Cabenalas in a lush chiaroscuro style. The six page story was well received by readers.

Starting today and posting Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next two weeks I'm going to publish The Venger: Dead Man's Revenge here for all to enjoy. So here we go...be sure to click to enlarge.

Read First- Blackest Night #1

Just wanted to drop a quick blog regarding DC's latest event series Blackest Night. Let me first say that I don't regularly read Green Lantern or many of the core DC titles. However I have always been a sucker for their crossover series going back all the way to the first and best- Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Ok with that in mind I really liked it. Geoff Johns does a fantastic job of setting all the pieces in place in the story, making it understandable for readers- both new and those familiar with DC continuity. The art was very good. Ivan Reis followed the DC prototype when it comes to crossovers- tight panels with tons of detail and characters. And I want to mention the price since that is a hot topic in comics presently. The $3.99 cover price was well worth it because of the extra story pages and stiffer cover. A great issue and can't wait for the next.

The Venger: Crossfire by Matt Zolman

As if I'm not busy enough trying to put together both Venger books- The Venger: Dead Man Rising and The Venger: Sins and Secrets- I've also been working on an over-sized Venger special. There will be several different stories in here by some different creative teams. I won't be writing all of them. One that I am writing is called 'Crossfire' and features the artwork of Matt Zolman.

This is a 10 page story featuring the new Venger. I don't want to give away too much yet because we are a ways away from publication but thought I would share a glimpse into it. So check it out...



Matt has a blog where he updates his progress on this and other projects he is working on. Please check it out to see a few other Venger images. Matt's doing a great job and I am so pleased to be working with him. So again click the link...

Another Peek

Ok folks here is the final look for the Black Shroud, the villain that will be appearing in The Venger: Sins and Secrets #3 and #4. Brett made just a couple of tweeks to the other design to knock it out of the ballpark. When I was creating the character I had a few ideas on the design and sent them to Brett. And with a series of emails back and forth we were able to work on this until we got something we both really like.

I'll post some more on these issues in the future- I am way behind on getting the plot to Brett because of lots of real life stuff. But once we get cracking on it expect to see more.

Sneak Peek at The Venger: Sins and Secrets #3

Here are a few character designs that Brett and I have been working on for the last couple of days. This is a character that will be appearing in The Venger: Sins and Secrets #3 and #4. We will be starting the production on that issue very shortly and will be announcing something very SPECIAL about that issue. Stay tuned for more info.
