Peter Milligan Interview

Over at Broken Frontier is my interview with British writer Peter Milligan, who has written everything from X-Force (during it’s controversial phase), Human Target and now Hellblazer and Greek Street for Vertigo. We mainly chatted about his new mini-series with Radical, After Dark and working on it with Hollywood bigwigs Antoine Fuqua and Wesley Snipes.

Science Dog and $1 Comics

Thanks to Image, here’s 2 good news press releases!

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. FIGHT EVIL WITH SCIENCE!

SCIENCE DOG gets his first collection from Image Comics

Half man, half dog and all hero, Science Dog gets his first collection in SCIENCE DOG SPECIAL #1, coming this September from Image Comics. He’s INVINCIBLE’S favorite comic book character. Soon, he’ll be yours as well!

“In the INVINCIBLE universe, Science Dog is a superstar — comic books, movies, action figures — the works,” says writer Robert Kirkman. “This is a step toward making him the superstar he should be in our universe!”

“It’s exciting to finally see Science Dog in his own book,” adds artist Cory Walker. “The character is front and center in SCIENCE DOG SPECIAL #1, where he belongs.”

SCIENCE DOG SPECIAL #1 collects the never before reprinted Science Dog back-up stories from INVINCIBLE #25 and #50. This story leads right into the senses-shattering back-up story contained within INVINCIBLE #75. If you’re only reading INVINCIBLE in collected form, this is what you’ve been missing! Don’t miss out a second time!

SCIENCE DOG SPECIAL #1, a 32-page full-color comic book collecting the Science Dog backup stories from INVINCIBLE #25 and #50, will be available for $3.50 on September 1, 2010.
