Jeff Lemire is a fairly new writer/artist to me but after loving some of his previous work I jumped at pre-ordering this latest release from Vertigo.

Jeff Lemire has been a relatively new addition to my regular “folks to look out for” list – his work on Animal Man for DC’s New 52 “reboot” was the first real exposure I’d had to his work….and soon after that I met him at Thought Bubble a few years ago. To hear he was working on this sci-fi series had me hyped at first…..and although I didn’t pre-order it at first……it’s on that list now.

The first time I read anything of Jeff Lemire’s was on DC’s New 52 reboot title Animal Man which turned out to be one of the best titles to come out of the while reboot – after that I wasn’t sure where to begin so when I spotted his latest release, The Underwater Welder, I thought I’d dive in….no pun intended….I swear!!

I have seen it heralded as the Ultimate-Comic-Book-Fan-Fear, where a favourite book is cancelled or treasured personnel shifted around to work on other titles. I’ve also seen it heralded as the Ultimate-Comic-Book-Company-Marketing-Tactic and in light of recent high profile cancellations from Marvel (Generation Hope, Daken etc) I think DC fans got off lightly by comparison. This somewhat sweeping statement makes reference to DC’s recent switching around of writers on JLDark, Stormwatch and Frankenstein, which was so unexpected we had to get in touch with Lemire, Milligan and Janin to ascertain exactly had had gone on and what we could expect from the changes.

Didn’t make it to Thought Bubble this year? Fear not, the CA team have almost recovered from a busy weekend down in Leeds attending this year’s Comic Convention, and are busy away in the background getting all of our coverage put together. Here’s a little sneak peak at what we have in store over the next week or so:
