The Last Paladin Rides Again...


Well I've finally forced myself to sit back down and post another update for my faithful followers (all six of you... the checks are in the mail). Right now in Ohio the weather has turned colder, the leaves have all fallen off the trees and even though my Detroit Tigers are in the World Series there hasn't been any kind of cataclysmic repercussions. Yet.

Things have been very hectic and that's slowed me down on a lot of projects. Slow however does not mean stopped. Things are still being worked on and I always have at least three projects in various stages of completion.

Presented here is the first page of Mahmud's final Last Paladin story (for a while at least) colored by the amazing Joel Seguin of Image Comics.

This quick tale will take place in our past and fill in a little history about who he is and what was going on before the events of his debut in DWP #20. Over time, as I have the chance to tell more Paladin stories, more history will be filled in and I hope a larger tapestry will be woven for the character.

Look for this short to hit the pages of Digital Webbing Presents sometime in early 2007.

I had a chance to see the story at Mahmud's house and I gotta say that this story is the best Paladin art from him.

Thanks Yildiray...

I know you and Mahmud are close friends but you're right. These were his finest pages since he started working on Last Paladin.

Here's hoping he can do more soon enough...

Don't you think it's funny whenever someone credits a creator that worked on a comic book published under the Image imprint as "...of Image Comics"? They really aren't since most of us know who Image Comics really is.

For example; Brian Bendis isn't ever credited as "Brian Bendis of Marvel Comics" is he? If he is, it should be "Brian Bendis, writer of Spider-Man for Marvel Comics"

I rest my case. :p
