so that it may rise and walk again upon this Earth..

Ok, so four months and no second post. Not an auspicious start. But it is what it is. All I can say is I've been busy. I lost my password for the blog and couldn't find it for awhile and you know how it is..

So I have been informed that this week the second issue of Demon Cleaner drops in North America. I thought it would be a good time to talk a little about the genesis of the cover for this issue.

All of these covers started as phone conversations between myself and Kelsey. Griz has done many many awesome covers over the years. But one thing he has never done is a cover with a giant fucking head. So we started riffing on that conceit and thought it would be cool to play with the reflection in the glasses. We talked about having the glasses be slightly damaged and the image of Gandhi reflected multiple times in the cracked lense, but settled upon this simple double image. For both of us, it invokes McFarlane's classic cover with Hulk reflected in Wolverine's claws.

So Kelsey threw together the rough which is suppose to be appearing right here but is acting like a bitch and posting itself up above. Whatever fucker..

Anyway, it's pretty awesome to receive shit like this in your email. One of the few perks of writing comics. We were both happy with the composition so K did the final version. Which is also hanging out above..

So there you have it. Some half assed commentary about the cover.

K and I are working on finishing up the remainder of our book Yeti vs Vampire. In the coming weeks I'll post some panel teasers as they come in.

::new year, new era::

Hi. My name is Miles Gunter. I write comics. And have done so quietly for close to ten years. Some of my credits include Bastard Samurai, NYC Mech, Zombee, BPRD, Weird War Tales and most recently Yeti vs Vampire.

After years of refusing to have a steady online presence, I've decided to take the plunge into the blogosphere. In the past my rationale for not doing this was that I didn't want to be another comic creator who spent more time talking on the internet than producing work. And to be honest, residing in the shadows has always been more appealing to me. My preference is to let the work speak for itself.

But it's a new year and the start of a new era. And I am compelled to open this house to share my work, my thoughts on the things that inspire me and maybe some talk about my foray into the insane world of writing movies, which has been my primary focus the last few years.

It may be a wash or it may not. Time will tell. I'll leave you with the cover of my new miniseries, Demon Cleaner, coming in March from my fine friends at Antarctic Press. I'll be posting interviews and development art up until the release.
