Here's the cover you're looking for:



Because I suck at promotion, I missed announcing last month's middle volume in Dark Horse Presents #13. Here's a preview and the cover for that one. Hopefully you got it without me reminding you, or maybe your shop still has a couple of copies on the shelf.

Dark Horse Presents: Kill All Monsters preview!

The Dark Horse website has a preview of Dark Horse Presents #12, which will be on sale next Wednesday, 15 July. The issue contains the first of three-parts of an all-new Kill All Monsters story... in COLOR. The story will be collected in the Kill All Monsters Omnibus next year, but it'll be reformatted for widescreen and will be in black-and-white. DHP will be the only place to get it with Bill Crabtree's glorious colors.

In addition to a preview page of our story, the Dark Horse site has previews of each of the other stories in the issue, including the second chapter of Rich Woodall and Craig Rousseau's Kyrra: Alien Jungle Girl story. That makes me really happy since Kyrra was part of the Artist Alley Comics digital comics project that Kill All Monsters participated in back in the day. Feels good being neighbors to Rich and Craig again.

Kill All Monsters is coming to Dark Horse Comics!

Dark Horse's solicitations for July are out, including the announcement of a Kill All Monsters story in Dark Horse Presents #12. As the first year of the relaunched DHP comes to a close, Jason and I are ecstatic to be part of the legendary anthology series. Having Kill All Monsters published by Dark Horse is seriously a dream come true. I can't even tell you how much without totally embarrassing myself.

This will be a brand new story, serialized over three issues and - for the first time ever - in FULL COLOR thanks to the breathtaking Bill Crabtree. Extraordinary Ed Brisson is still on the KAM team too, lettering the story.

The blurb for the issue also mentions that it's "a tie-in to the Kill All Monsters hardcover," which is certainly true. That the hardcover is "on sale now" isn't accurate though. We're working on that and it's going to be amazing, but it'll be a while longer yet. We'll keep you updated. For now, Dark Horse Presents is puh-lenty to be excited about.

One last thing. There are plans to collect the DHP story at some point, but not in color. If you want to read it that way (and you totally do, because I've seen the finished version and wow), the Dark Horse Presents issues are the way to do it.
