Before Darth Maul, There Was ‘The Brainiac / Sinestro Corps War’. DCUO Legends – Collected Today.

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

Before Darth Maul: Death Sentence, Bruno Redondo and I first worked together on a two-part story called the Brainiac/Sinestro Corps War in DCUO Legends. It was because of Bruno’s great work on this series that I asked for him to be involved with Darth Maul.

That story is collected today in the pages of DC Universe Legends #3. I had a great time writing this story. I got to play with all of the Green Lanterns and discovered just how much fun it is to write Guy Gardner.

I saw this page on the internet somewhere. I figure I can share it here.

DCUO Legends #3 is written by Marv Wolfman and myself and illustrated by Bruno Redondo, my ex-’Authority’ partner in crime, Mike S Miller, and Howard Porter. You can also get a digital download of the original issues (#16 and #17) here – http://www.comixology.com/DC-Universe-Online-Legends-16/digital-comic/AUG110178

Two Books. Two Galaxies. Two Epic Space Battles Come to an Explosive End.

Two epic battles have been raging in the pages of Star Wars: Invasion – Revelations and DCUO Legends: The Brainiac – Sinestro Corps War, and both come to a climactic end this week. Two wars. Two Galaxies. Two books. Two publishers. One big week.

These two story arcs probably contain my largest ever fictional body count.

Hal Jordan is seriously conflicted as he and the Green Lantern Corps arrive at Korugar to “contain” the war between Sinestro’s Yellow Lanterns and Brainiac–but can they save the planet of innocents caught in the crossfire? And how desperate could things possibly get that would see Hal team up with Sinestro for one final battle?!

Star Wars: Invasion—Revelations #5

Writer: Tom Taylor
Artist: Colin Wilson
Colorist: Wes Dzioba
Cover Artist: Chris Scalf

Queen Nina and Princess Kaye have successfully rescued the refugees from the Battle of Shramar, but the Yuuzhan Vong invaders may still have another win for their tally. Or is there another revelation in store? Meanwhile, on Coruscant, Jedi-in-training Finn Galfridian finds that in trying to prevent an assassination, he may be complicit in one! The next revelation may be about Finn’s new mentor!

This Week: ‘The Brainiac – Sinestro Corps War’ Begins

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

“In space, no one can hear—
—the dull thud of my brain smacking against the inside of my fractured skull.” – Sinestro

And so begins DC Universe Online #16, the first of my two-part ‘Brainiac/Sinestro Corps War’ story available this week in print and digital download. Despite writing The Authority for almost a year, which should also be available for digital download soon, this is my first work in the actual DC universe, and starting out with Green Lantern was a bit of a dream gig. The next character I’ve written (not announced yet) is also a dream gig.

I really hope everyone checks out this book this week. Bruno Redondo absolutely blew me away with his art and he managed to capture the moments of action, humour, violence and pain perfectly. This is a Green Lantern sample piece from Bruno’s blog. Thanks to Ben Abernathy for bringing me on board for this one. Looking forward to much more!

Hal Jordan and the other human Green Lanterns have been recalled to Oa under emergency circumstances. Brainiac’s main fleet has been located and he’s gone to war with the Sinestro’s Yellow Lantern Corps on Korugar! The mission: Containment, allowing both enemies to annihilate each other!

IGN has also posted the exclusive news of the next issue right here. Will share Doug Mahnke’s cover art for #17 when I can – it’s all kinds of awesome.

Yep, I’m writing a Green Lantern – Sinestro – Brainiac story.

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

With the brilliant Doug Mahnke cover to DC Universe Online #16 being exclusively posted at IGN this morning, I feel I can finally sing this one from the rooftops (and have the right art to back it up).

I’m writing a two-part stand-alone story in this series called ‘The Brainiac – Sinestro Corps War’ with art by Bruno Redondo. Bruno is going to be huge. The guy’s storytelling is fantastic, he gets the epic, the action and, probably most importantly for me, the characterization. I especially loved getting to write Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner and Bruno brings these guys to life perfectly. I can’t wait for people to see this book next month. Writing this book also meant working with one of my favourite editors in Ben Abernathy. Hope everyone picks it up, especially anyone who misses these guys after the reboot (this is basically an elseworlds tale set pre-boot).
