Bob Layton back in comics full-time...
check out http://www.boblayton.com for his monthly update. Here are the highlights:
"That being said, 2007 will herald a change for me, for my fans and for this website.
Some rather startling events have occurred to me in the last month that will be self-explanatory in the next few weeks if you follow the comic news websites.
All I will say at this juncture is that I’m going back to work in comics full-time—having been made an offer I couldn’t refuse.
The assignment, and the circumstances that led up to the deal, will all be made clear to you soon.
Since I’m going back to work, I need some time off from the website and the commissions. That's why I'm taking December off to get my house in order before starting the new gig. In the future, I'll be taking on fewer commission than in previous years due to my new work schedule, so be aware that the wait for a completed drawing might take longer than in the past.
With that being said--I'll be back with full, monthly web updates in January 2007--including the BIG announcement and details concerning what's to come. "

Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.

Oh, sure... just dash my hopes and dreams against the cold, unforgiving rocks of reality........Daniel Jackson wrote:I don't see how that's likely considering the legal mess is still not resolved with the rightful ownership of the VALIANT trademarks.

Zoom Suit II is another mini-series so I don't think he would call that a full time comic job. I know what I am HOPING it is, but it is probably a bit too early for that...jedimarley wrote:I wonder if John Taddeo hired him to handle Zoom Suit II ???

this is purely speculation, and lots of wishful thinking, but check out this link to a short piece about Mr. Layton (and Mr. Michelinie) from Wizard. Reading between the lines, wouldn't it be cool if this was the new project?Brian Thomer wrote:So, it's been a "few weeks" any word on what Layton's new project is?
