Artist Marco Cinello has posted a mini feature on the SOUL KISS Facebook site showing his process. Taking a page of my script (this time written in a quasi - screenplay format since our story takes place in Hollywood) Marco shows his progression from thumbnails to layout to black line art to full color. If you like seeing the evolution of art - check this out!

Steven T. Seagle dropped by the studios of Comic Book Resources for an interview recently. The first half of the conversation with CBR head honcho Jonah Weiland is up now and features a discussion about Steve's new series SOUL KISS and breaks some news on an upcoming original graphic novel. Check out the video.
For all of our BEN 10 fans out there (and you know you are legion) a heads up that the volume 3 of the BEN 10 Alien Force saga is just about to drop on DVD. This one picks up at episode 10 and charges forward through Alien X.
How weird is this? Exactly 20 years ago to the day, THE AMAZON wound its way into comic shops. Billed as the first comic book "eco-series" the environmentally-themed series was the first color work of both myself and rising superstar artist Tim Sale.
Now, exactly twenty years to the day later, THE AMAZON is winding its way back into comic shops. The eco-series is still (sadly) relevant, and the adventure through a besieged timber mining operation deep in the heart of the Amazon Rain Forest is still a high water mark in Tim's brilliantly moody storytelling.
Oh yeah, and the whole story has been strikingly re-colored by Matt Hollingsworth.
Oh yeah, and the whole book has been redesigned.
Oh yeah, and each of the three issues features extras like unseen production materials and an ongoing conversation between Tim and me.
Oh yeah!
Here's a preview.
So, apparently, the MOA site is back up and running with a new webgod, aiding and abetting our avoidance of work and speak directly to our legions of fans spread far and wide across the Internets. Between this and the transcript to the infamous Lucas/Spielberg/Kasdan RAIDERS story conference, there's not much time to get busy with my current gigs for the Big Two today. Speaking of which, if you want to read me spouting off on one of them -- in this case, the upcoming DC Comics mini-series called DANCE -- head on over to Comic Book Resources and get... well, not the full scoop, but some info on how I'm going to wrangle the Super Young Team.
A choice excerpt:
CBR : What can you share with us heading into the series? Any details on what we might see and who these heroes really are?
Casey: I can tell you that in #1 you’ll see Super Young Team in their hot new satellite headquarters, complete with a trophy room full of superhero trophies that aren’t even theirs. Beyond that, you’ll see them fight an unseen enemy. You’ll see how the world reacts to how fucking fabulous they are. You’ll see them dealing with feelings of love and rejection. You’ll see a bit of cosplay. You’ll see the return of Innovative Concepts, Inc. (‘80s shout-out, yo!). You’ll see the fate of Midway City. And you might even see Most Excellent Superbat make out with himself. And that’s just off the top of my head. I have a list written down somewhere.
Most Excellent Superbat twitters way too much. Big Atomic Lantern Boy’s got an insatiable appetite. Shiny Happy Aquazon’s got superpowers we haven’t seen yet. Well-Spoken Sonic Lightning Flash’s quicker than you think and Shy Crazy Lolita Canary... well, she likes to get her drink on. How’s that?
