Hired for Heroes for Hire!

April 25, 2011/in News/by invasion100

I’m a little late getting this here due to my wacky schedule now…but to follow-up with my April 2 teaser, on April 12 the Marvel solicitations were released online so I can now reveal that I’ll be inking Kyle Hotz for a three-issue arc in HEROES FOR HIRE #9-11, all Fear Itself tie-ins for the present Marvel Event of that name. The Shroud! Elektra! Gargoyle! Misty Knight! Paladin! and some surprises! Kyle and I’ve been in touch and have wanted to work together for some time so this is a sweet payoff. My updates will regrettably be sparse around here but I’ll do my best and thanks for understanding.
