Posts under ‘Comics’

Under my new contract with Evileye Books, I’ll be bringing you prose and comics starting with the series The Pack. Book 1, Winter Kill, will be available on the Kindle on Halloween and in trade paperback shortly thereafter.

Coming this Halloween:

Starting this Halloween, I will be bringing you both prose and comics from Evileye Books.
I’m about to jump into a convention so this is just a quick drive-by post, but more information will be coming soon!

I haven’t been this excited about writing in a long time.
It’s tough to put my finger on why, as I’ve been working with this same project through most of the summer. I just find myself more motivated to put the time in, and the upside of that is it shows on the page. I’m not [...]

I burned a vacation day today to get some writing done. Deadlines abound, but more importantly I’m excited about what I’m working on and I’m getting more and more frustrated with the day job getting in the way. As I type this, I’ve already burned through a few hundred words and am taking a quick [...]

Checked out Evileye Books lately?

Wizard World Chicago starts tomorrow night, and I will of course be there. Unfortunately I once again don’t have a table or a convenient way for folks to find me, but I have every [...]

Cullen Bunn can write some kick-ass comics, but by day he’s a VP of something-or-other for a large company. I’m sure he has to wear a tie to work, and he gets to sit on boring conference calls and move his employees’ cheese. I’ve often wondered how a typical workday goes for him, and I [...]

Despite a somewhat disappointing Spring Break due to sick kids, a sick wife, and crummy weather, I managed to salvage my time off with some solid productivity.
There was last Sunday’s interview for starters, and shortly after I printed the script to the graphic novel script I’ve been working on and took the pencil to it [...]
