BEASTS OF BURDEN: OCCUPIED TERRITORY #1 will be out tomorrow (in comic shops that ordered it). 

I'm very pleased with how the new series came together, and I hope folks who have been supporting the series continue to enjoy the work we're doing. The pandemic knocked the project off the schedule when it was nearly finished, so, this has been the first time we were delayed for reasons beyond our control. Which is still a bummer, but perfectly understandable. Artist Benjamin Dewey and letterer Nate Piekos are both back and doing their usual great work on the pages, and I co-wrote the scripts with Sarah Dyer. The variant cover for the first issue was done by my old Deadline mate, John McCrea.

And for those of you who have been following the Tear Them Apart horror movie podcast I do with Paul Yellovich, episode 14 is now live and available for ear-aching purposes. This is the first of a two-part discussion covering all five films in the Phantasm franchise, a personal favorite movie series of mine. Well, until you get to part 3.

Curious- how do you and Sarah break down the script? I'm a few volumes behind on Beasts of Burden, but I'm getting caught up soon for the new series. I read in clumps.

Picked up my issue! Can't wait to read it when I get home!

It depends on the script, or, sometimes, it just works it's own way out. If it's Sarah's basic idea -- like with Calla Cthulhu -- she runs with the ball a while and then we have a table meeting to go over things and then we each do individual passes on the script until we're about done. There's usually a last go-through and then it's tightened up and sent off. And then we usually do a lettering go-over, or, it it's tight enough, I do that myself. If it's my basic idea it's the same thing in reverse. And sometimes we kick and idea around together and at some point someone starts the process. Sarah will often do a structure breakdown if it's something that needs to be nailed down beforehand, otherwise I do a loose plot breakdown or we both do that. On the Beasts of Burden stories I asked Sarah to come in after some of the work hd already been done. It's not set in stone.
