24 OMNIBUS

IDW Publishing, which had released four one-shot graphic novels and one five-issue mini-series based on the series, is set to release the 24 Omnibus in November 2009. The compendium will feature their complete 24 output to date.

I collaborated with screenwriter Mark L. Haynes on the first three one-shots (24: One Shot, 24 Stories, and 24 Midnight Sun) and the 24: Nightfall mini-series, and writer Beau Smith (Wynonna Earp) penned 24: Cold Warriors. An interview with us ran in Scoop.

I expect to have copies with me at this weekend’s Virginia Comic-Con, but I haven’t seen them yet.

JCV's BLUE BEETLE FEATURED in BUSTED KNUCKLES

Beau Smith, the guy who wrote the incredible Cobb: Off The Leash mini-series from IDW Publishing and the only other person (other than Mark Haynes and me) to write the comic book adventures of Jack Bauer in 24, has a regular (and very lively) column on the Comics Bulletin website.

In his current column he has some very nice things to say about my Blue Beetle story ("Christmas With The Beetles") in the DC Universe Holiday Special 2008.

Thanks, Beau!
