I'm writing a foreword to an international edition of Predator: Bad Blood and while doing some reasearch I stumbled across this French edition of the book that I didn't know existed. It's from 2019, published by Vestron. The cover design is pretty haphazard but it's interesting that "Bad Blood" ...

Was just sent the coloring pass on the new EC/Oni story. All the pages look terrific, very moody, great atmopshere and the "EC" bits look very creepy. Once again, the art is by Lukas Ketner, I don't have a credit for the colorist yet.
One last little thing to deal with, we'll probably lose...

A rambling, unedited reply to someone on my Tumblr that I thought I'd repost here:

Another question. Why would we be doing corrections on a page that was already published?
For what reason would we be fixing pages?

Perennial patsy and neighborhood guinea pig. Seemingly indestructible, existing on unbridled naivety and enthusiasm.

Self-explanatory in the sketches. I still want to use these 'goon" designs somewhere, someday. Some of these ideas are transferable if I ever do any superhero work again.
