The new printing of SUPERMARKET comes out Fri. January 2. It’s got a new cover, a new digest size, and a new pinup gallery from some of my favorite artists. The printings of the first edition are completely out and incredibly hard to find, so this edition gives the book a new lease on life!
Hey everyone. for the first time in 5 years i will not be at Wizard World Texas. Living in Dallas, it’s my local show, and I’ve been getting alot of emails asking my plans and schedule, so i thought i’d put it out there that i won’t be making it. Instead, that weekend i’ll be in Savannah GA, at my alma mater The Savannah College of Art and Design, speaking and doing workshops for their yearly Comic Arts Forum. As much as i’d like to make wwtx, i’m really excited to get to go back to savannah and see old friends, professors and kick it in my old college town for a week. It also squares nicely with my finishing of DMZ 36 and will be a needed rest.
In stores now! the first of my 2 parter. Here’s what one review has to say about my contribution:
“This two-parter brings in the artistic talents of Kristian Donaldson, who has worked before with writer Brian Wood on Supermarket. Kristian is at the top of his game here- every last page is stunning, from the almost photo-realistic establishing shots to the emotive figures to the dramatic use of shadow. His style is crisp and clear, at times stylistically conjuring bits of Paul Pope and Jamie Hewlett. The storytelling flows wonderfully, combining with Wood’s engrossing narrative to make the end product one hell of a page-turner that you can’t put down. Compliments must be given as well to colorist Jeromy Cox, who also made incredible use of lighting to enhance the overall feel, and is responsible for some beautiful sunrises and sunsets in this issue.”
