Spike 2008 SCREAM Awards!

I’ll be attending the 2008 Spike SCREAM Awards tomorrow night! I’ve been to a lot of Hollywood events but walking the red carpet is always fun! The show airs Tuesday October 21st, at 9 p.m.

Publishers Weekly likes THE REVENANT in this week’s Panel Mania!

“An avenging ghost hunts down a gangster who wronged him in this seven-page excerpt from The Revenant, a mix of the superhero and horror genres. The 112-page graphic novel, conceived by Shannon (Eric) Denton and Keith Giffen, written by Rob Worley and illustrated by Mat Santolouco will be released by Desperado Publishing this month.”Publishers Weekly

The SCOOP digs THE REVENANT!

“…it’s a very interesting modern run at the world of pulp adventures and the old tale of criminals who sell out their own. If that’s your cup of tea, you’ll definitely want to check this one out. ” – SCOOP: Where The Magic Of Collecting Comes Alive

RUE MORGUE spills BLOOD (colored ink) over THE REVENANT

The book featuring my creation THE REVENANT keeps gettin’ good press, this time from Rue Morgue Magazine! The “Quick Cut” featured in their Blood in Four Colours column isn’t online so I’m presenting it here:

“Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos is fertile ground for horror. The Revenant milks the holiday’s potential when the ghost of a murdered gang member returns to settle old scores. Cinematic in its telling, the book is at its heart a gorefest (the aquarium kill in particular is a gruesome treat), but with its whodunnit trail of clues it owes almost as much to Detective Comics and Dick Tracy as it does to Nightmare on Elm Street. Bright colours invoke the festival’s essence, and Mat Santolouco’s art, though sometimes cartoony, manages to keep things dark. Downsides? It starts slow and Fredd Krueger did the punny dialogue better. But the multiple twists will keep you guessing at the killer’s identity and make for a fun ride.”

– Mark Moyes

COMICS WAITING ROOM loves THE REVENANT!

“THE REVENANT is a darkly humorous and thrilling tale that consistently keeps the reader laughing, guessing and horrified at nearly every turn. This books manages to blend the classic ghost-takes-revenge story idea, a whodunnit mystery and plenty of action sequences into a seamless, fast-paced and immensely enjoyable read.”
