ANNOUNCED: PIGS

Posted by benmccool / at 2:49 PM / /

I've been on the road for the past few weeks, attending awesome shows such as C2E2 and WonderCon. The latter featured a number of big announcements, including a few of my own!

First up was PIGS, an ongoing series written by me and Nate Cosby, with pencils and inks by fabulous newcomer Breno Tamura, colours by Chris Sotomayor, and lettering/design by Russ Wooton. Quite a team!

But the awesomeness doesn't stop there: the first six issues will feature cover art by the lofty likes of Jock, Francesco Francavilla, Amanda Conner, Ben Templesmith, Humberto Ramos and Becky Cloonan. Above are the covers by Jock and Francesco. Pretty nifty, eh?

In a nutshell, the book's about a 2nd-generation KGB Cuban sleeper cell that's reactivated and assigned to overthrow the United States of America's government.

Here's a link to a Comic Book Resources article, detailing a little more about the series: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?id=31706&page=article

And another up on Newsarama: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/ben-mccool-nate-cosby-pigs-110407.html

Lots more news soon!
