X-men First Class
Awhile back, I received a nice email from Jeff Parker, creator of THE INTERMAN and writer of Marvel Comics' AGENTS OF ATLAS and X-MEN FIRST CLASS, inviting me to draw a 6pp XFC story featuring The Beast and Ice Man for their special Halloween issue. Jeff asked my what some of my favorite horror films were and one of the movies I mentioned, THE THING, is what we settled on paying homage to. Here is the official solicitation for the upcoming October release:

GIANT-SIZE X-MEN: FIRST CLASS #1
Written by JEFF PARKER & ROGER LANGRIDGE
Penciled by MICHAEL CHO, ROGER LANGRIDGE, NICK KILISLIAN, DEAN HASPIEL, DAVID WILLIAMS & JEFF PARKER
Cover by JEFF PARKER, KEVIN NOWLAN & BRAD ANDERSON

Just in time for Halloween, The Beast starts conducting investigations into his own "X" files around the world! Are there aliens among us ­ or things even weirder? Featuring special guest-star artists and classic material too! And emboldened by the safety net of Nowlan inks, Parker even drew the cover!

48 PGS./Rated A …$3.99

Before I start laying out any story, I like to do some quick sketches of the main characters. Here are some initial drawings I did that will probably change by the time I do the final art:

Dean, I love both of those Icemen, especially the second one. And I love The Thing, too! I am definitely picking this up when it comes out.

The Thing?

Dude, with a Jeff Parker script and I'm betting the ability to improvise a lot on the story, since Parker is I'm betting editor on this as well, it can only turn out to be utterly awesome!

I can just imagine the transformation panels now.

Jeff Parker tells swell done-in-one stories which I greatly miss from most modern Marvel and DC Comics.
