Over at Pop Syndicate, I just posted a press release from Image comics running down their events for Wondercon this weekend. It sounds like a fun lineup of events but there’s one thing in particular that jumped out at me:
In addition to signings with such creators as SCUD THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN’s Rob Schrab, DEAD SPACE & FELL’s Ben Templesmith, THE LAST CHRISTMAS’ Brian Posehn, THE INFINITE HORIZON’s Phil Noto, WITCHBLADE’s Michael Choi and Image Comics Publisher & SAVAGE DRAGON creator Erik Larsen, fans can visit the Image booth to purchase variant covers of SCUD THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN #21, DEAD SPACE #1 and THE DARKNESS #2. Also available are free, convention exclusive posters for such titles as DARK IVORY, PERHAPANAUTS and the very first look at CIVIL WAR and ULTIMATES’ Mark Millar’s new superhero title with EX MACHINA’s Tony Harris, WAR HEROES.
Did I miss something? When was a Millar/Harris book actually announced? And where is Tony Harris finding all the time to be working on projects other than Ex Machina right now?
