A preview of Generation X-23 #4

GENERATION X-23 #4

X-23 ON THE HUNT! Laura Kinney is through playing nice. The Facility has her friends, and they have her sister. And not a damn thing on Earth will stand between her and their safety. They want “X-23, the perfect killer”? Oh, they’ve got it! SNIKT!

Lazarus X+66 #3 is on stands today! The series is a collection of stand alone issues that are different looks at that dark world and it's broad, fantastic cast of characters. This single issue story returns us to Joe and Bobbie and looks at how they've been adjusting to life after the move to San Francisco.

Really glad to have been able to contribute a story to this awesome series. Being a Bay Area native and fan of the book, it was a great opportunity to jump in the mix with Greg, Neal and crew and tell a story that was right up my alley.

From the solicit:

San Francisco is the jewel in the Carlyle crown, a city of Serfs, comfort, and privilege. It’s where Joe and Bobbie Barrett now make their home. But a gilded cage is a cage all the same, and now Joe and Bobbie must decide what they will do to be Free.

Like the compound is all white walls, you can see blood spattered on the wall, all the doors look like cages with bars, there’s men in combat gear with a line of small children walking down the hall towards a room. And each door has a number instead of a name, and it’s shows them taking X-66 out of her cell and down to the training area, where if she doesn’t do well enough they keep tazing her (also like in Logan). But then one of the nurses, Nadia Angeloff takes over the footage and is whispering to the camera the horrible experiments they perform on the kids here and the brutal methods they use to brain wash them and keep them under their full control. Cause the scientists and government workers here don’t see them as people, just living weapons that are gonna make them loads of cash. So then they start killing off the ones who are too out of control until X-66 is the only one left, and Nadia breaks her out in the middle of the night and is killed for doing so, but X-66 escapes

I am drawing an issue of LAZARUS X+66 from @imagecomics! Absolutely love this series so it's really fun to get to draw a stand alone issue for this book. Also feels great to be working with my pal @ruckawriter again, him and Neal Bailey have put together a strong story that has been a blast to work on.

And it takes place in the Bay Area! What more can you ask for.
