News + Notes

It's been a little bit since I last did an update on what I have been working on and where I'm at online at the various social media sites so I thought I would catch you all up if you're interested in that sort of thing.

ICARUS - Icarus is my new webcomic, I post new pages twice a week, I just started last week and I hope to build a solid following. I do everything on the book from writing to lettering so it's definitely a chore, but it's also a blast. I really hope you all choose to follow along and support the book by buying and sporting an Icarus shirt (order info in the sidebar on the Icarus page) or supporting me by ordering a commission possibly. Here is the first page -



I also do the artwork for the current volume of Jesus Christ: In the Name of the Gun. It's a fun story about a time traveling Jesus as he battles WW2 Axis powers, monsters & more with his buddies Albert Einstein and Ernest Hemingway.

I recently did 20 cards for the Hack/Slash set from 5finity. Here are my two return cards that I am currently selling for only $30 each. They are limited edition and very rare.

- I have a Facebook fan page that was started by a very cool guy and fan, Ed Harris.
- I'm usually on Twitter goofing off and sometimes I post up in-progress pages.
- I post a new sketch everyday to The Daily Sketchjam! I plan to do so for the rest of the year. A couple other really cool artists post there as well.
- My DeviantArt account is here and it's where the majority of my art goes online.

I honestly appreciate every note or comment I get through Facebook, Twitter & DeviantArt. The last 6 weeks have been a trial as I try to find work to supplement my income. It's a hard road for a freelancer in this economy and I really am grateful. Thanks to my beautiful girlfriend and my great kids for putting up with me.

Icarus is live

The first page of ICARUS went up today. New page every Sunday and Thursday. Please pass along the word and feel free to leave comments. Thanks.

ICARUS set to launch from Super75Comics.

Icarus is a new web to print comic series from Super75Comics. Created, Written and Illustrated by Ryan Cody, Icarus is set to launch on Sunday October 10^th, 2010. Previous creator credits include a short story in the Eisner award winning Popgun Vol.3 from Image Comics and Villains from Viper Comics, which is currently in development at Universal.

In 2014, a young child with the ability to see the future see an object approaching Earth, a giant spacecraft containing a species intent on invasion and occupation. She locates the most public superhuman of the time, The Golden Templar, and convinces him to take her to a secret group of world leaders. The Amaliorata do not believe her story and cast her away. When she, and other gifted seers go public with their warning, global riots break out and the world is turned upside down with religious and economic collapse. The Ameliorata decide that the super-humans cannot be allowed to roam unchecked and continue to upset the power balance. They order the execution of every known superhuman. Major Fisher Riley is put in charge of exterminating the world’s most powerful individuals. The Ameliorata convince the public that the oncoming object to Earth is only the asteroid Icarus, preparing to make its scheduled pass of Earth.

Icarus is expected to pass Earth on June 16^th, 2015.

The Icarus comic is an endeavor to bring the excitement and energy of big budget adventure comics to the world of small press. Each week two new pages will go online in preparation for a quarterly print release.
