Blood Bowl Hot Shot

The fine people at Comic Related made Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #1 their “Hot Shot of the Week.” As part of that item, they also have a gallery of huge shots of both the A and over-the-top B covers, unobstructed by logos. Woot! ETA: The comic also got a kind notice from Famous Monsters of Filmland. Plus, Chimera, a cool …

French Blood Bowl

The fine people at Bibliotheque Interdite have translated Blood Bowl (my first novel in the series) into French! If you parlez Francais, here’s your chance to read a culturally specific set of running jokes written by an American author for a British publisher and now published in French. I wonder what will happen if the Blood Bowl novels ever get …

Killer Contract Acquired

As you know, Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #1 hit comics stores yesterday. My authors’ comp copies are on the way, but I couldn’t wait. I drove over to the best (and only!) comic-book store in town, AK Comics, where owner David Loftus had a copy of both Cover A and Cover B waiting for me. I wrote the issue, I’ve …

Blood Bowl Killer Contract #1 in Stores Tomorrow

The first issue of Blood Bowl: Killer Contract should be in stores across North American tomorrow. Be sure to pop down to your local comics shop and pick up one straight away. I’ll actually be in Milwaukee tomorrow afternoon. Can anyone recommend a good shop there?

Killer Contract Complete

Late last night, I turned in the script for issue #5 of Blood Bowl: Killer Contract, the final installment in my comic-book miniseries for Boom! Studios. I’ve had a blast working on these books, and I cannot wait to see them on stands. I still have an approval hurdle or two to parkour, but the bulk of the project is …

Blood Bowl: Killer Contract

I just sent off the script for Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #4 to my editor Ian Brill at Boom Studios. I’m having a ball writing these comics, and I can’t wait to see them in print, which I’m told should happen soon. I’m eager to wrap it all up with issue #5, just so I can see what happens. I …

Blood Bowl Script #3 Done

I was up late last night, but I polished off the script to Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #3. To celebrate, here are some shots of some of the artwork slated for that very comic. The one to the left is the main cover, and the one to the right is for a variant cover. The BOOM! Studios crew gave the …

Blood Bowl on the Game Screen–and Issue #2

The folks at Cyanide have a site up for the upcoming Blood Bowl computer game. There’s a slew of screen shots there, plus if you dig a little you can find a document that explains how the game works in more depth. I’m especially geeked by the fact you can play the game in two very different ways: A real-time …

Revisions, Revisions

I spent the last week revising things, it seems. This includes the latest draft of the Mutant Chronicles novelization and the final draft of Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #2, both of which I can’t wait to see in print. While revisions are a necessary evil for writers of all stripes, they’re never as much fun as working on the first …

Good-Bye, Brett

My pal Rich Dansky ruined my morning by pointing me to the news that Brett Favre is retiring. As a lifelong Packer fan, I recognize this as the official end of the greatest era in the NFL since the Lombardi years. As I told Rich, though, I think this is the right thing for Favre to do. He came back …
