Recommended Reads: The Highwaymen
Tony picked me up a copy of friend and colleague Marc Bernardin's new book from Wildstorm The Highwaymen. It's an action packed thrill ride, in the most non-cliched meaning of the words. It's a complete and utter fucking blast, and it's highly recommended. It should be at your local comic book store. You can read more about Marc and other reviews of the book here: http://rhinoplastique.blogspot.com/

Marvel Comics Presents
Friend and editor John Barber spills the beans which mark my return to the Western Genre, even if it's only for 8 pages. Newsarama Interviews John Barber on MCP
"Outlaw Kid by Josh Fialkov, who wrote Elk's Run and is one of the best up-and-coming writers in comics, with art by Chris Moeller who's just incredible and I've been a fan of for years…"
Comic Book Bin on Elk’s Run
I liked Elk’s Run and I would definitely recommend it. Strong characters, a compelling storyline and nicely drawn art make this book an entertaining read.
Front Row Crew on Elk’s Run
Front Row Crew - GeekNights » Blog Archive » GeekNights 070606 - Elk’s Run The GeekNights Podcast has about 20+ minutes of Elk's Run discussion on one of this week's shows. Link above.
Thanks for the discussion, guys. Really interesting stuff.
Static Multimedia on Elk’s Run
Right from the get-go, the introduction of Elk's Run tells you just how smart this graphic novel is. Caveat emptor, this book is going to make you think about stuff. Put it down if you're afraid to think for yourself. This book is important. Joshua Hale Fialkov has gone to the mountain, seen the truth, and brought back mana from heaven. Yadda-yadda-yadda.So what does Elk's give us that any other angst-ridden contemporary American literature doesn't? Well, I'll tell you. It is extremely well-written, with only a few minor flaws.

ELK'S RUN AND MORE WITH JOSHUA HALE FIALKOV - NEWSARAMA
NRAMA: Random House has been pushing Elk’s Run pretty hard, what is that a result of?JHF: They came to us about the book. It had a varied publishing past when we tried to do the issues. To various degrees of success, we went through two publishers before Random House. They came to us very early on and really expressed their commitment in trying to get the book under their label as a trade paperback.
I talk about my old jobs in TV, my movie, and a bunch of other stuff.
Sick Again
It's been a while since I've been ill. Christina was suffering from a long lasting flu that managed to avoid infecting me, only to have her be mostly well, and me get slammed in the face by it. Well, hopefully it won't last too too much longer. Early reviews for Postcards have been coming in, and they're VERY good. I'm really looking forward to you guys checking it out. I also got comps of Princess Ressurrection Book #1 in, that's in stores pretty soon, and is also lots of fun, despite my marginal involvment, I'm still quite proud of it.
Also, my return to the genre bending western has just been cemented. Got a new book in the works with an established publisher that's going to be a blast. I'll keep y'all updated as it goes.
Now, If you'll excuse me, I'm going to lay down.

Thrushmetal on Elk’s Run
It’s violent, yet not gratuitously so. Nonetheless, the writing exemplifies realistic, dystopian-horror fiction and suspenseful comic book writing at its finest, most skillful level. Collectors of fine graphic novels will certainly wish to add this to their bookshelves and will certainly read it more than once. This is one of the best graphic novels I have read this year, and another example of how sophisticated the sequential art format can be. “A”-freaking-plus.
Newsarama Q&A on Punks
THOSE PUNK KIDS: FIALKOV & CHAMBERLAIN TALK PUNKS: THE COMIC - NEWSARAMA
NRAMA: That's cold… but.. yeah. Can you give us a rundown of who's who in Punks?JF: Sure. We got Abe Lincoln. He's the 16th President of the United States, liberator of the slaves, and hero of the civil war. He also knows how to party.Then we have Dog. He's a political radical with a Morrissey fetish. He also knows how to party.
Then there's Skull. He's a Punk Rock superstar who breathes fire. He also knows how to party. And finally, there's Fist. He's got a fist for a head and communicates through a combination of signs and semaphore. Unfortunately, he no longer knows how to party due to an unfortunate accident involving Bell Biv Devoe.
*Embedded in that article is the entire Free Comic Book Day story, btw, so, if you couldn't find it, there's your chance to read it.
Round Robin
Alright, so, it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks, and I apologize for being off the radar. Highlight and lowlights below.
- Punks is in Previews, and we're doing all kinds of press and stuff for that. Keep your eyes open for it.
- Free Comic Book Day was a blast at The Comic Bug, and yet again I forgot to take pictures. The Punks FCBD issue of Digital Webbing was gone before I could even grab a copy for myself. It looks GOOOOOD tho.
- Just got hired on a couple of very cool jobs I can't really talk about, one is a big licensed property comic thing, one is a TV movie. I just sent in an outline for Vampirella 4-6, so, here's hoping that the sales keep up, and that gets to come to fruition. There's at least one other book that hasn't been announced, but it will be relatively soon, I think.
- Got engaged to the most wonderful girl in the world.
- Been wrestling with some major occular problems, leaving me semi-blind for days at a time. It's still problematic (I try not to drive unless it's dire circumstances), but it seems to be improving considerably.
- Thanks to that, Three Rivers the webcomic has sort of fallen off schedule. Yes, I've been having these problems for THAT long. Noel's about two months ahead of what's posted, so once I get the next script turned into him, I'll probably begin to post them. The actual submission was sent off to prospective publishers this week, so, here's hoping.
- Got two other creator owned books being developed right now. Pages are in on the first one, and the second one is being completed as we speak. One's a 50's Cops and Monsters book, the other is my tribute to gangsters and the 70's. Hopefully have more on those shortly. I'm also developing a bunch of comics with Screenwriting partner Mark Wheaton (he of The Messengers, Friday the 13th, etc. fame.) It looks like one of those might see publication relatively soon. We shall see though.
End of update.
Digital Otaku on Princess Resurrection
This is the Manga I did the adaptation of. First volume is on it's way to stores soon. Here it is on Amazon if you're interested. It's really, really good if you're into the whole Buffy/Evil Dead thing. Digital Otaku
Princess Resurrection has an interesting, developing storyline and a couple of strong characters to support it. I’m pretty sure this manga is going to do well and for fans of the genre (like myself), anyone with the slightest interest in all things dark, supernatural and macabre should definitely check out this manga.

Q&A: Joshua Fialkov Talks Punks the Comic
CBB: If there is a selling point or something about the project that you want to get across to readers, what is it?
FIALKOV: It's funny, it's different, it's smart, it cures cancer*, it has laser blasting alien robots, and more head wound jokes per page than any other book on the stands**,
*Does not in fact cure cancer. **Not including Head Wound Joke Monthly
