New Comic Project: SE7EN

I'm very excited to announce that I'll be illustrating an issue of a comic book based on one of my favorite movies: David Fincher's SE7EN, to be published by Zenescope Entertainment in partnership with New Line Cinema.

This will be part of a seven issue series, each issue being devoted to one of the deadly sins (with each issue by a different creative team), and although it covers the same events as the movie, the comics will show the events from the killer John Doe's point of view. The issue I'll be illustrating is the sixth and most tantalizing: ENVY.

Even more exciting for me is that the issue is written by one of the most highly regarded creators working in comic books: Daredevil writer/artist and Kabuki creator David Mack. Mack and I have discussed collaborating on a project since we first met in 1999 (initially it was to be a Kabuki spin-off series), but our mutual stars hadn't aligned until now.

David says, on his website, that he's been meaning to work with me for 10 years, which I guess means he's pretty excited about this collaboration too. David also noted that "writing from the POV of a psychopath came incredibly natural to me." Having read the script I'd have to agree.

While I'll be doing all the interior artwork, including color and some lettering, the book design and covers are in the hands of the highly talented David Seidman. I just got a sneak peak at the Envy cover and it's awesome!

For now I'll leave you with a teaser panel I did for the issue, but be sure to check back for further updates and previews regarding this project.
