Some news

Well, it's been a while since I had anything to post, but finally something has happened worth sharing.

Another one of the characters from Bounty Hunter will be appearing in one of the War of the Independents' tie-in books.  The below in italics is taken from Peter Palmiotti's MySpace blog.

So I'm really excited about this.  Especially since I'm a big fan of Atomic Robo.  I'm also trying to help get a few more characters for the book (give Pete and the others a bit more time to actually work on the book).  So far I've contacted Martheus Wade (Jetta) about his Turra- Gun Angel character, Scott Claringbold for his Rabid character, and Capture Comics' very own Chris Jones about his Fusion character (mentioned on here before as the Fortune and Glory Kid).  I even went out on a limb and e-mailed Robert Kirkman about the possibility of him lending out Invincible or his Wolf-Man character, although I'll be muchly surprised if that one happens.  LOL!

Anyway, I'll be sure to keep you updated on who gets in and who doesn't.
