Next week will finally see a new issue of 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, the classic Black Mask comic book from by fancy superstar writer Matthew Rosenberg, artist Tyler Boss, and letterer Thomas Mauer Originally launched back in April 2016, when Barrack Obama was president and Ethan Van Sciver still had a Twitter account,[...]

Next week, the third issue of 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank, by Matthew Rosenberg, Tyler Boss, and Thomas Mauer will finally hit stores after an unexpected delay Rising superstar writer Rosenberg was, for some reason, willing to talk to Bleeding Cool about the delay, as well as some current hot topics facing the comic book[...]

Written by Alex Grecian, with art by Riley Rossmo, colors by Ivan Plascencia, and letters by Thomas Mauer, Rasputin even seems to be timed for publication by Image Comics for winter with its Siberian settings and frost and snow-driven themes When I had three issues in hand, I finally sat down with a big cup[...]

Seagle, who also does the logo and design work, with pencilling and inking by Mark Dos Santos, lettering by Thomas Mauer, and colors by Brad Simpson. They describe Issue #2 thus: ALL TREMBLE BEFORE THE EVIL THAT IS METERAX AND HIS… ah, you know what? Who gives a damn? Mark's wedding to Katie is looming and he[...]

Also, Thomas Mauer gets some of the best gags in the entire issue with his lettering. The first issue is 30 pages of ad-free excitement for $2.99 It's hard to find a better bang for your buck in comics these days Whether the book can continue that rate indefinitely remains up to be seen, but it's[...]

We added slick lettering by Thomas Mauer and a really non-traditional palette of colors from Brad Simpson, and I think we landed something unique I especially love Mark's covers which evoke a classicism, but then gets a modern design spin from the logo/layout I designed. As for the world – I can't say too much about[...]

There's nothing precious here, just a smart, terrified young woman facing the end of the world and swearing at it, as we all would. 2.     Pirate Ship Christopher Mitten, Jordan Boyd and Thomas Mauer really flex their muscles this issue, with several left hand splash page reveals and some beautifully placed, subtle lettering[...]

By Alasdair Stuart Here we are again, with the writer’s notes for Umbral Issue # 3. I’m an absolute sucker for stuff like this as it’s always interesting

The small 'oh' is masterfully placed too, Thomas Mauer's subtle lettering guiding the eye around the page Again, really impressive stuff. Umbral Issue # 3 is published by Image, written by Antony Johnston, drawn by Christopher Mitten, coloured by Jordan Boyd and lettered by Thomas Mauer It's great You should go buy it and the previous[...]

By Alasdair Stuart Here we are again, with Antony Johnston’s writer’s notes for Umbral Issue #2 featuring new cast members, new locations and just the

By Alasdair Stuart Umbral is, in a year crammed full of insanely good Image comics, one of the very best. I’m really fond of it, as you may have noticed.

Antony Johnston, Christopher Mitten, John Rauch and Thomas Mauer's new fantasy series is brutal, dirty-fingernailed fantasy of a sort that doesn't get enough press Following Rascal, a female thief who sees something horrific begin its invasion of her kingdom and her friends, the book is Invasion of the Bodysnatchers by way of fantasy, steampunk and[...]

As welcome as this would probably be as a film treatment, this first issue alone strongly suggests that there are things that comics can simply do better, and should. Umbral is out this week from Image, a "dark fantasy" according to ads, and its "scribe" is Antony Johnston, "Illuminator" is Christopher Mitten, "Painter" is John Rauch,[...]

Umbral is Johnston and Mitten's next project, where they're joined by John Rauch and Thomas Mauer It looks set to do for fantasy what Wasteland did for post-apocalyptic SF. The book follows Rascal, a young Thief whose best friend (And not quite boyfriend) happens to be Prince Arthir Rascal is funny, gloriously profane and has a[...]

This particular story was drawn my Anwar Madrigal and lettered by Thomas Mauer Madrigal previously worked on the The Legend Of Isis: Dogs Of War series from Blue Water Productions… back when they were doing books other than bio work. Young said of his latest story that he felt it had a very Pixar feel to[...]
