Blogger is being uncooperative. I really wanted to add the pencils for the 1st page of Horsemen too, but it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make that happen. In lieu of that, I thought I would share the cover page from something I wrote. Pencils and Inks were done by Chris Hanchey, Colors by Rich Cardoso and the Logo by Cary Kelley. Enjoy!

Horsemen page one, inked and ready for color! 

This is Ziggy. He will be a character in a comic one day. Perhaps "The Adventures of Pittle Puppy" and his arch-nemesis will be the evil Shoe King who makes all expensive shoes taste like beef jerky to dogs so they can't help but chew them up; thus, they get in trouble just as the Shoe King wants. Why? because the Shoe King really really wants a puppy but is allergic... so if he can't have one... no one will if his master plan works. Muah ha ha ha.

BTW, Ziggy is a 12 month old Havanese and is significantly more cunning with his tiny teeth than when this photo was taken.

Now go have a scotch...  

Cheers!

Yes, we here at Under the Aegis enjoy poetry... well one of us does and this one actually has more than a few published. Here's one.

Under Synesthesia

Sight stretched to a thread

tied behind the mind

the knot tightens and cuts

into the available light.

(masked marauders mime a play of cruelty).

Taste with the texture of sand

melts in the forge of breath

and drops as tears to burn

away the memories.

(trembling and thirsty, no water is given).

Sounds of bitter harmony

blend into thick vinegar

a sour damp flavor

rings with the hiss of air.

(the bells and whistles mock rhythm).

Touching the fragrant white

pressure, lavender bleeds in

germinating roots, thin tendrils,

along stale still appendages.

(blood is drawn on the wall).

Scents of violet and platinum light

scatters through a prismatic field

and attaches to the attendants

as they become a transparent illuminated stench.

Okay Marvel, wow us. 

Comic Book Resources always does a good job. Yup. I'm intrigued. Hopefully "Everything Burns" will be cool and Gambit is always a favorite. Funny thing is that we actually know one of the dudes mentioned in the article but we can't tell you right now.
