Okay okay. I've been talking about The Red Eye for quite some time now but haven't revealed much beyond the fact that it's a "sci-fi mystery epic." So now is the time to actually talk about it a bit. I'm a little less than half way through drawing the first issue so I figure it's time to start getting you people excited for this thing.
A lot of folks have been asking "What is The Red Eye?" Well here's your answer. The Red Eye is a science fiction noir comic book that I've been working on for over a year now. It's pretty much a combination of my favorite types of comics. I love the Frank Miller hard-boiled noir stuff, I love the detective based Batman stuff, and I love sci-fi stuff. So why not throw it all into a blender and see what came out? What I got was The Red Eye. Set in the year 2365 on the distant planet Andari Prime, The Red Eye takes all that mystery noir stuff that I so love and throws it into a killer science fiction setting. So I get to do kick-ass mysteries and still draw aliens and spaceships and cool weapons.
And the character The Red Eye is pretty awesome as well (if I may say so.) He's not your typical strong-jawed good-guy hero. I mean don't get me wrong he's a good guy, but while he's battling the bad guys, he's also battling his own inner demons. And a lot of that will be because of his past (which will be revealed at later date.)
The series is going to kick off with the first story arc, tentatively titled "Origins," sometime this year. I'm shooting for a summer release for the first issue because I'd like to have that at The Creep Show in September. So what is The Red Eye? I'd say it's Batman, Sin City, and Fear Agent all tossed into a blender with a hint of Hellboy. Well, I've revealed enough for now. Keep checking back for more info!

P.S. Silent Boy versus Hell is now in the coloring stages.
