I’ve just learned that issue three of the Templar Chronicles comic adaptation has been out for a few weeks now so if you’ve been waiting you should be able to pick one up or ask your local comic book shop to order it for you.

I’ve also learned that issues four, five, and six will not be released as stand alone products, thanks to poor sales (Gee, Mr. Publisher, releasing every single one of the prior three issues anywhere from two to three months late doesn’t have anything to do with that, now does it?). Instead, the new artist will be completing the run strictly for release as part of the trade paperback which is slotted for publication in March 08. Truth be told, I’m not holding my breath.

Covers for all three issues released so far:

Here is the color version of the cover art for issue #3 of the Heretic comic. It is my understanding that there is supposed to be a pencil-variant limited edition version as well. I will post that when I have it.

I’ve been working on a comic project for Arcana Studios for the last several months about a teenage girl with some unusual powers who is forced to investigate the death of her best friend. The concept was jointly created by myself, my teenage daughter Halston, and Arcana’s EIC, Sean O’Reilly. Angel Angelov handled the artwork.

You’ll be hearing more about Candice Crowe throughout the summer and fall as we get ready for our early 2008 release. For now, I just wanted to introduce the character to you through one of Angel’s cover shots.
