Hey all! After the warm welcome from the main man Jesse himself, I thought I'd start posting some news and previews of a few projects I've got in development.
This first series is titled [glow=red,2,300]VANQUISH [/glow]and I have it planned as part of the Ronin Core universe over at Ronin Studios. It's my first pure superhero book.
Here's a little intro: It seemed like a prank when officer Raymond Taylor responded to a call about a UFO crash, but the young policeman’s life changed forever that night. He opened a mysterious container found within the wreckage and unwittingly released an alien exoskeleton that permanently attached itself to his body. In time, he learned that this strange apparatus offered great powers---increased strength, controlled levitation, optical energy discharge, and projection of three-dimensional virtual imagery around his body. For more than 20 years Ray used these powers to fight crime and help humanity as the legendary costumed hero “Vanquish.” Then a scientist friend discovered that the exoskeleton’s energy was causing irreparable cellular degeneration within Ray’s body. Simply put, it was killing him. Now in his 50s, Vanquish fights on, even though each use of the exoskeleton’s power brings him one step closer to death!
And now on to some art!

The first issue will feature three stories in full color:
Here's a page from the first story. Pencils & inks are by Jhomar Soriano and colors & letters are by Silverware.
Here are a few random pages from the second story appearing in issue #1 of Vanquish! (Note: the pages aren't sequential.) Pencils & inks by Keng Chanhkongsinh

And the final story in the first issue will be illustrated by the Cadre Corner's own...
Rey Villegas!

- "Sacrifice" is an 8-page story that segues from the hero's origin to his current place in the world.
- "Faith of Mortals---Chapter 1: Best Laid Plans" is a 16-page story introducing the early plot threads of the Greek gods saga that will involve all of the Ronin Core books.
