I’m sitting here on a porch in Sweden looking out at a lush forest on one side and a calm ocean on the other.  Basically doesn’t get much better than this.  It’s a nice way to spend my time as the final issue of my year long series hits the shelves.  It’s also somewhat poetic as I remember writing/blogging from a cafe in New York when I was first given the series.

It feels good that it’s over.  It feels good to have written it.

It also feels good to receive reviews like this:

“Speaking of conclusive conflicts, Optimus Prime and Megatron do battle in the streets of Manhattan as the world stands ready to come crashing down around them.  A nuclear bomb is in the belly of a Decepticon and all hell is breaking loose.  There’s an amazing sequence with Omega Supreme doing battle against Devastator next to the Statue of Liberty, while a nice subplot bears fruit effectively and Optimus Prime gives one of those speeches that you can just hear Peter Cullen delivering with gravitas and an inspirational score.  From action scenes to denouement, things go well and here, it doesn’t matter if you’re just stepping on board, as the battle between good and evil is drawn in lines of dialogue and facial expressions.  Despite the many, many, many negative things people are saying about the movie, things look good on the comics” - CBR

Nick just sent me through the first few pages for the Dark X-Men story and DAMN if they aren’t some of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.  In actual fact I may need to cut my own eyes out since there’s really very little chance I’ll ever see something this good again.

Actually, come to think of it, that would mean I wouldn’t see the rest of them…hmmm.  Note to self: Cut out eyes later.

Dave from Moonbase 2 and I sat down and chatted…and chatted, and chatted.  The interview runs for an hour and a half.  Yes, we got chatty.

We cover everything relating to All Hail Megatron, how it started, the themes, the ins and outs and the pros and cons of the reaction to the book.  Dave’s a great guy and asked some really great questions.

If you’ve got the time you can grab it from iTunes or you can ‘view’ it on YouTube.

Kris over at Broken Frontier sat down with me recently (well, a little while ago now) and chatted about my work, breaking into the industry and, of course, All Hail Megatron.

He’s a nice guy.  They’re a nice outfit.  Their new site is pretty.

Take a look and if you happen to find the interview boring, well, they have plenty of other neat things to look at.

The second collection for All Hail Megatron is now available for preorder on AMAZON.  It’s, of course, also available for order from your local comic book store!  Support your local guys wherever possible.  If, however, you don’t like them (or they don’t like you) then Amazon will always be there for you (unless they mess up your order and then, seriously, you have the worst luck on the planet).
