]]> A paperback collected edition of our 2009 miniseries The Trial of Sherlock Holmes drawn by Aaron Campbell, coloured by Tony Avina, lettered by Simon Bowland and with covers by John Cassaday is out now.

]]> o, it’s been a while, eh? How are you? Oh, we’re good thanks, keeping busy, you know. Yeah, sorry about all the obituaries, bit of a downer. What’s that? What have we been up to?

Well…

We’ve written an adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Over Innsmouth for a Self Made Hero anthology which is due out in 2011. The ever impressive Mr. Leigh Gallagher is handling the art and is currently wrangling with our mammoth script even as I type these words.

We’ve plotted a four issue follow up to a Dynamite Entertainment horror book we wrote a few years back which Mr. Mike Raicht is scripting and we’re overseeing. We’ve seen a bit of artwork already and it’s looking very nice.

We’ve just today finished writing #2 of our second five issue Sherlock Holmes series which is entitled The Liverpool Demon and is proving to be lots of fun thus far. Not sure who the artist is going to be yet but we’ll let you know.

On top of all that, we’ve got a big comics-but-not-as-we-know-them type project lined up which we’re very, very excited about and which we will tell you all about as soon as we possibly can. We promise.

And… I’m sure there’s other stuff too… Oh, we’ve got a couple of new collected editions out too. I’ll blog about those right now.

What’s that? Shut up? Fair enough.

The concluding issue of The Trial of Sherlock Holmes arrives in shops across the globe this week. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Mr. Aaron Campbell on the series (the extra little bits he’s done for the collected edition are fantastic too) and we really  hope we’ll get to write for him again very soon. Maybe another Holmes story?

We’ve got a few preview pages to show you but, as always, they are a bit spoiler-ish so please don’t read unless you’re already up to date with the issues.

We can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of the grand finale.

EDIT: Some great reviews coming in already. They are pretty spoilerific however so, again, please don’t read unless you’ve already read the issue.
