I just had a great time visiting an old friend this month — The X Men, well actually in truth– The New X Men.

I just did a fill in on issue #29. So really– it was a new old friend… either way I was back in the x –mansion once more. It’s a real fun title being headed by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost. If you haven’t picked up the title you should, — that is if you like a fast paced action title with a lot of teen angst and blood shed.

Why a fill in?

Well, I wanted to dip my feet back in those Marvel waters once a gain – test the waters so to speak- and it was worth it. Mike Marts is the editor on the book and every time we have talked he has been nothing but great to me. I started my career at Marvel but have been doing work for DC for such a long time that all the old editors I had worked with had moved —over to DC.

It’s a ping-pong game – and right now I guess am pinging. Although my next blog will be about the pong—so wait for that.

I did both the pencils and the inks – which is what I am doing from now on. After The Nightmarist I realized that I needed to do both from now on, I can make corrections and work all the way through the process. And, although there are better inkers out there I think the over all composition and layout is greatly enhanced with me sticking it out all the way through.

Who knows—I’ll do my own interior colors next.
