Phil fucking Jimenez

for all intents and purposes, Phil is the modern equivalent to George Perez. Andy Lanning is known for his co-writing credits with Dan Abnett, and he is the Inker that has worked with Phil for as long as I can remember. Phil usually inks his own covers and pinups, but Andy inks all of his interiors. They are one of the best teams in comics. Period.

also, for all of my Queer followers, Phil has been out, proud, and vocal since 1994. he has been a beacon of Gay rights in the industry for *literally* his entire career.

he is awesome in person too, just in case that was not clear.

So, Bendis was right:

Phil Fucking Jimenez.

The Punisher Meets Archie by John Buscema

AFTER LIFE WITH ARCHIE #1 Written by ROberto Aguirre-Sacasa & Illustrated by Francesco Francavilla Lettered by Jack Morelli

IT’S FINALLY HERE!!! The first issue of the brand new, never attempted before, Horror Archie series hits the stores today. I’m very proud of this book, specially considering that it all originates from that Zombie variant I did last year for Life with Archie, so I hope you guys pick it up and enjoy it as much as Roberto and I did putting it together :)

Above you can read the first 8 pages. Pick up the book to see how everything goes down in the next 14 pages of #1.

Here’s some early reviews:

"★★★★★" ComicVine http://www.comicvine.com/reviews/afterlife-with-archie-1/1900-2266/

"Aguirre-Sacasa and Francavilla are like peanut butter and chocolate together – a terrific combination that we should be kicking ourselves for not discovering sooner. " NERDIST http://www.nerdist.com/2013/10/comic-book-day-pull-list-for-october-9-2013/

"If you are looking for a perfect horror title to get you in the Halloween mood then you cannot go wrong with this one, it is great for both core fans as well as for people who may not had read an Archie title in years. Well done Archie, well done." First COmics News http://www.firstcomicsnews.com/?p=89514

"9/10! it’s a genuine horror story and proof positive that a good Elseworlds-style mash-up doesn’t require a line-wide reboot, but is simply a matter of taking two top creators and letting them run wild." NEWSARAMA http://www.newsarama.com/19145-best-shots-advance-reviews-afterlife-with-archie-1-more.html

"BUY THIS BOOK!" Comics Alliance http://comicsalliance.com/buy-this-book-afterlife-with-archie-1/

"Afterlife With Archie’ #1 not only surpasses expectations, it’s one of the few truly scary comics in recent memory." CBR http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=user_review&id=6488

Wow... I am actually super excited for this.
