WINGS of ANANSI cover (next creator owned project!

[Oeming]

This July will see my next creator owned one shot, called WINGS of Anansi, an urban gang noir fairy tale.

Wings is an urban crime drama, with a fairy tale twist, inspired by the African folk tales of Anansi, a spider who told and was part of African stories and mythology. Because it’s a one-shot, I don’t like to give away details other than saying its really hard edged - violence and sex abound, but there is a strong spiritual message beneath all that. In a strange way, it’s a story about my mother’s life, but I can’t really get into that until after it comes out.

I met Greg at the Pittsburgh con, and knew right away I wanted to work with him. He's a seriously hard worker, totally dedicated to the craft.
Drawn by GREG TITUS, this one shot is full of the things I like most- violence, crime, murder, sex and money:) Well, I like them in my stories.

More art available for previews soon.

[J.D. Lombardi]

The colors on that are incredible. Looks like my kinna book. :shock:


Edited because I didn't fully read the first post.

[Ryan Walsh]

The cover IS tizzight, and I am a sucker for any kind of mythology. I've been waiting for Gaiman's Anansi Boys for a long while, but I might have to give this a look.

[Dannñ B]

[Pat Loika]

[danablack]

i'm looking forward to that one!

Mike, i know this is "after the fact", but i met with Brian Stelfreeze this weekend at the Aggiecon here in Texas and showed him my "glorified sketchbook" and 86 was there. i knew he would be the only one to see it besides me, so i'm just hoping you're not gonna kill me...Dana

[Randomus]

Definately picking this one up. I'm really looking forward to it; great premise.

In regards to the cover, at the risk of being exiled for dredging up bad memories, baby got back.

[Angel]

this looks great. is this going to be in the previews that will be out at the end of this month? i always try to preorder all of your stuff mike.
as a matter of fact, i just picked up comics from my shop and i have the joy of reading quixote and 86 volts. quixote looked so good i had to start reading it in the car on the way home :D

[Houdinimachine]

That is a badass cover. Crowbar AND a gun! He's like the gangsta version of Shatterstar.

I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Seriously.

No offense intended.

Love that cover.
