Jeff Parker, Ron Randall and Ron Chan have been blowing readers away with their work on GAMEKEEPER from Virgin Comics. Now Virgin’s produced a trailer to spread the word!
My sources tell me that the first issue of “Guy Ritchie’s Gamekeeper, Series 2″ will be in stores on the 12th. Gamekeeper Series 2 features writing by Jeff Parker, layout art by Ron Randall, and finished pencils by Ron Chan. Go get you some!
Parker already posted about it on his blog, but I thought I might as well add it here too, seeing as how there hasn’t been nearly enough art embedded into the blog lately.
Three members of Periscope will be teaming up with Virgin comics to do the second series of Guy Ritchie’s Gamekeeper! Jeff Parker be penning the words, Ron Randall be sketching the layouts, and Ron Chan be scratching on the pencils.
Here’s a five panel sneak peek, completely out of context and out of sequence! Mysterious, I know.
CBG: For those not in the know, please explain the basic concept of Sea Freak.
JC: Sea Freak is the story of an atomic sea mutant in the 1960′s whose poet soul is at odds with his need to eat teeny boppers. And that’s not his only worry. He also has a chorus of three little crabs living on his body, and they want nothing to do with a change of diet. Still, he’s adopted a human sense of justice from reading old Shakespeare plays, bottled and tossed into the sea by an unknown party. He decides to follow the bottles’ trail, hoping to find a kindred spirit at the other end, and to at last be free of his monstery ways… It’s only when he finds the trail’s end that he realizes how far he has to go.

“The artwork of Ron Chan is crisp and fits really well with the story being told. Ron did a great job of presenting the reader with the range of emotions each character( well, except Mr.Bloomberg of course) was experiencing.”
And of course Ron’s done great work with Sara Ryan on Flytrap. Do you blog about comics? We’d love to send you one of Ron and Sara’s minicomics, absolutely free! Just write to us at periscope.studio (at) gmail.com and tell us where to mail it.
“This happens to the story’s main character, and I don’t know how Ryan could have done it any better. We get a remarkably vivid sense of the frustration and confusion she feels, and artist Dylan Meconis is up to the task, enhancing and adding nuance. “
Johnny Bacardi reviews Sara Ryan and Dylan Meconis’ CLICK.(Read the whole comic online for free.) He also reviews Flytrap #3, illustrated by Ron Chan, and X-Men First Class #3, written by Jeff parker and featuring a backup illustrated by Colleen Coover.
Colleen’s work is also under discussion at Millarworld, where they’re talking about adult comics, and everyone agrees that she’s one of the best out there. If you’ve got an opinion on the matter, join in!
So, no word from blogspot on getting rid of the blogjacking spammer yet. If anyone reading this knows anyone who works for blogger/blogspot, any contact there would be hugely appreciated.

“DC’s new Minx imprint has been a source of intense industry conversation since it was announced as the company’s new, concerted effort to get girls to read comics (well, comics published by DC, rather than manga). It’s hard to evaluate how well the line does in meeting its goal as I’m not, nor have I ever been, a teenage girl. But it certainly seems like (Good as Lily) should hit the target audience. The story reads like young-adult fiction with a teen-movie accent, and the art resembles something between manga (black and white, digest-sized, occasional use of the Eastern visual lexicon) and Western original graphic novels. “
