GRAVESLINGER is a new supernatural Western from Image Comics’s SHADOWLINE Imprint. Created by Shannon Eric Denton and Jeff Mariotte.

“Mariotte, Denton, and Cboins are creators whose love of comics pours onto the page. Graveslinger is a definite must-read!”- Steve Niles: (creator of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT)

“Graveslinger is a hard drivin’, rip-snortin’ tale of cowboys and zombies that brings to Old West to life in all its mythical widescreen glory — the clever writing and gritty art means you can practically smell the gunpowder, sense the dusty ground tremble under thundering hooves…and feel the creeping horror of supernatural menace!” –
Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Producer on tv’s LOST and MEDIUM and creator of the Viper Comic’s THE MIDDLEMAN)

” Graveslinger combines two genres that I truly love–Westerns and Zombie horror. What other reason do you need to check out this cool new book? ” –Joe Madureira (artist on MARVEL’S ULTIMATES)

“Denton, Mariotte, and Cboins deliver the goods to the undead in this beautifully drawn pistol packing epic. When do we get the Graveslinger/Jonah Hex crossover, guys?” – Jimmy Palmiotti (Co-creator of the SciFi Channels PAINKILLER JANE and co-writer of DC’s JONAH HEX)

Well, it has been a great Labor Day Weekend so far. My buddy Adam Beechen (writer of animation and comics fame) came in for a signing at Spazdog Comics as well as Atomic Comics. In addition to signing comic fare like ROBIN, he was signing his Actionopolis novel WHAT I DID ON MY HYPERGALACTIC INTERSTELLAR SUMMER VACATION! Good times.

And to top off the weekend I went to see 3:10 TO YUMA last night. Great movie! Now if Hollywood would just get its act together and make more GOOD Westerns like this one, I’d be a happy camper. Keeping my fingers crossed that THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THAT COWARD ROBERT FORD is just as good.
