Rombies will officially eat your brains on December 15 but the one-shot is already available for Pre Order over at the Gestalt Publishing site and at Amazon.com
Gestalt are having a sale at the moment so you can get quite a sizable discount if you order through them.
The artist, Skye Ogden, has also posted a nice look at his process in creating three pages from the book.

Yep, today is the day.
A holocron will reveal a terrible secret. We will meet a strange but very important crazy person on Nar Shadaa. There will be blood aboard the Tsam’ Pah. And, while some stories will be resolved, others will be frustratingly left hanging until ‘Star Wars: Invasion‘ returns early in 2010.
But fear not. While ‘Invasion’ is away, we can still play.
‘Luke Skywalker and the Treasure of the Dragonsnakes’ (it really is a long title…) is out in January and is already available for pre order over at Amazon here or Things From Another World here.
‘Rombies’ is set to appear later this month through Gestalt Publishing who have also published Colin Wilson and my one-shot ‘The Example’ which you can get through Amazon or right here.
On the theatre front, my plays ‘Mystery Flight’ and ‘Falling, Praying’ have both been shortlisted for the upcoming Short and Sweet festival in Sydney and ‘Mystery Flight’ is set to debut at the stunning Chapel off Chapel theatre later this month.
Finally, I’ve recently finished writing another Star Wars related work (and had an awesome time doing so), which should be announced later this month.
The first official image for my new creator-owned series ‘The Deep’ was revealed at the Armageddon Expo in Melbourne this weekend and I’m very happy to share it here.
Art by Hugh Phiri, masthead by Skye Ogden (with a lot of input from others).
Coming soon from Gestalt Publishing…
A quick post to say that Colin Wilson and I are being interviewed on 3CR radio at 5pm (Melbourne time) today, where we will be talking about all of our comic book projects.
In other news, I’ve just sent off the first 72 page story of ‘The Deep’ to the publisher! It is currently on track for a worldwide release in April 2010. We’re still designing the look of the thing but hopefully I can put up some teaser images soon.
Also, a few people have asked where else I can be found on the internet. The only other place I frequent is my facebook group – which can be joined right here.
Coming soon from Gestalt Publishing… ‘Rombies’!
Skye Ogden, the creator of the gorgeous ‘Vowels’ (Chapter 1 of which can be read right here), has an epic story in his mind. And that story is set to escape his brain with the first installment of ‘Rombies’.
I would normally run a mile from a zombie story… and run a mile from zombies. However, after being asked whether I’d like to write the first instalment of this Roman zombies book, I woke one morning with horrible, horrible visions of a zombie infested Colosseum and, naturally, I wanted to share these horrible visions with the world.
Rombies is coming soon from Gestalt Publishing and three preview pages can be read right here.

From Gestalt Publishing comes the trailer to the comic of The Example (yes, Gestalt Publishing comics have trailers). This was first shown at the launch of The Example and Flinch after which ‘the fans went wild’.
I was fortunate enough to play a small part in the making of this trailer. Myself in Melbourne, Gestalt Publishing head Wolfgang Bylsma in Perth and Art Director Skye Ogden in Japan actually put the final version together while drinking beers and talking via skype across three timezones – seriously, technology is awesome.
Well done Skye and Wolf. It looks great.
Also, Colin Wilson and I are being interviewed on PBS FM at 7pm(ish) tomorrow night (May 18) on all things comics. Listen in.
