Canister X – A.P. Fuchs: Zombie, Paranormal Romance and Superhero Novelist, Blogger, Artist, Publisher

The third issue of my independent superhero comic book series, Axiom-man, is all drawn and ready for scanning. Well, technically I have to go through each page and proofread and tweak some of the art and do the column page at the back, but it’s done otherwise, which means suscribers will have their copies mailed out to them shortly.

I’m really pleased with this issue as I took the art up a notch since the last one, which is the name of the game drawing-wise anyway. Likewise, the story takes a new turn and sets the tone for next few issues.

What’s it about?

After a mysterious warrior woman breaks up the battle between Axiom-man and Redaw, she leads the blue crusader away to a secluded place and the forging of a new path for the hero begins. Away from the battle, Redsaw must come to a decision as to how to end Axiom-man once and for all. Paths are taken, choices are made, and all is about to change for Axiom-man and Redsaw both. 20 pgs, black and white, color cover.

Here we go. Writing marathon time. First one. The last, if you could call it that, was when I was clocking in around 4000 words a day to finish Possession of the Dead in time for the C4 Con of 2010.

This is my workstation. I’ll be posting updated word counts on Twitter after each session.

Time to finish Axiom-man: City of Ruin. My readers have been waiting a long time for it. Time to give it to them.

Here it is, penciled with the prelimary tracing inks started. Details and such to be added.
