Necromancer and Star Trek

A Joshua Ortega update

NECROMANCER #2 is now in stores!

This issue continues the origin of Abigail van Alstine, and her transformation from a preacher�s kid to a budding magic user with the ability to speak with the dead. Expect some creepy scenes, dark humor, lots of surprises, and more incredible art from Francis Manapul�

As always, NECROMANCER is available at comic shops everywhere, or online at sites such as www.midtowncomics.com and www.milehighcomics.com.

Feel free to drop me a line to let me know what you think of the new issue, or you can also do the message board thing at www.comicbookresources.com, www.millarworld.tv, and www.topcow.com. All three sites have active NECROMANCER threads, so feel free to post!

For those who would like to read more about the book or see some art from #2, there are three new interviews now up on the web:

www.comicbookresources.com
www.paperbackreader.com
www.comicon.com

In other comic news, I�ve started work on a new STAR TREK project that will be released next year, and I�ve just finished scripting my third issue of BEOWULF for Speakeasy Comics (BEOWULF #7 will be my first issue, due in November). Things are also going well with my Marvel and DC/Vertigo projects, and my big STAR WARS project is finally nearing completion. More news on all those fronts as soon as I can say more!

Hope all is well, and I�ll talk to you soon,

-Joshua
