Legion issue 3 progress.

Hello to all who might actually be reading this. It's been a long time, and quite a year.

Obviously I've gotten (quite) a bit off track from my monthly release schedule that I was trying to conform to, but I've got some good news! The script for the third issue of Legion is complete and I will start drawing the pages very soon! 

I have been spending a lot of time this year focusing on work, family, and stability. I have had the opportunity to meet some great artists and writers within the comic industry and I am happy to say that I can consider some of them are my friends!

I've also moved in with my girlfriend and her kids, which has definitely changed the dynamic for how I produce my content, especially while working a 40+ hour a week office job in downtown Denver. 

But anyway..back to the news you actually came here to hear. The third issue focuses a lot on Checkpoint and her fight with the Walking Bomb, the last member of the Cockatrice. There's even a cameo from a (very) old character of mine in the beginning of the issue!  

I'd also like to announce that my good friend Will Dieterich has kindly created two pieces of art to be used as the very first Legion guest artist covers! Adam Atom and Checkpoint look fantastic and I can't wait to get these put on issues! 



Be sure to 'like' Will Dieterich Art on Facebook for more amazing stuff from my pal.

I also wanted to say a few things about my other projects, Super Jake Land. and The_Shift.
I am still determined to get the first issue of Super Jake Land out this year, and I will be focusing on working on it as soon as the third issue of Legion wraps production. Super Jake Land will be one of the "main" Chickebrain books alongside Legion and another unannounced title. 

The_Shift is more of a unique beast to conquer, and I have already started working on the script for the first issue. I'll reveal more info as I move forward, but the process for this book is going to be very slow. It's a very personal book to me, so I am taking my dear sweet time with it. I'm still not even sure if I want to have it published on this blog. 

I have also done various pieces of fan art based around the characters of Valiant comics, if you guys haven't checked them out I would definitely recommend giving them a read, they have some of the most talented teams creating these books and they are a ton of fun. 





As always. I thank you for checking out this blog and hopefully you will be reading Legion#3 very soon! 

-Jake
