SDCC’12: Chris Roberson announces Rain for Image Comics
Even though he is busy with his MonkeyBrain Comics projects, comic writer Chris Roberson continues to pick up work for other publishers. His latest project, Rain, was announced during the Image Comics panel.
”It is a giant sprawling, epic fantasy, secondary world kind of thing. I was a novelist before and I spent years developing characters, religions, worlds , and all that, and it would be far too much to do in a novel. I thought maybe I could do a comic and retool it that way.”
Paul Mayberry will be providing the art for this book.

“Django Unchained takes the movie’s story and tells it as a comic book,” said Tarantino, “with story aspects that aren’t in the movie. The comic will literally be the entire movie’s script.”
And what is the big secret Tarantino hides in the tale?

I don’t think the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have ever had a time when there wasn’t an audience for their hijinks. So it makes sense that Nickelodeon would bring the characters back for a new series.
