The Endling is back!

The Endling is coming back tomorrow!

Hi guys,

A short entry just to let you know that THE ENDLING, the digital comic I'm drawing for Thrillbent, will relaunch tomorrow after a four-months hiatus! This second half will pick up exactly where we left, with Amber and Zavi being chased in the lab building by Lee's men. 

You can find a recap of what happened so far here.

And an interview with our writer Jonathan Larsen plus a preview of Issue 21 here on Bleeding Cool.

Please join us on facebook and on twitter for more updates and discussions!

Use Comixology? You can buy the Endling here.

See you tomorrow!

The Endling news

I lost tracks for so long of what happened regarding The Endling in the last few months... Yes, we went on hiatus, but that only means we're working on it so it can flow (hopefully) without interruption in 2014. I've just handed in Issue 28 and working is going on. Anyway, just to recap:



The Endling is now available on Comixology! The first three collections, at least, each one featuring four chapters plus afterwords and bonus materials (layouts, pencils, etc.)

Jonathan and I were interviewed by Pipedream Comics: “Anything that expands the number of outlets for storytelling will open doors for more people to come on through” Jonathan Larsen and Cecilia Latella discuss digital publishing with Thrillbent and their sci-fi fairytale The Endling

 Pipedream Comics also published a review of The Endling. Have and excerpt:


Reminiscent at time of IDW Pubishing’s Memorial, it has a soft gentle pace, with an almost feminine feel to it – which in part is thanks to the influence of Italian artist Cecilia Latella. Her strong simple line work gives the book a very smart classic feel – especially when it comes to the characterisation of the Endling – and as well as mastering the modern world of the science lab, she also has a great grasp of the split world of the savagary of the Endling’s world juxtaposing the simulated world’s barbarity with the modern world’s tranquility.

By the way, I'd love to share also what a reader, Robin, wrote in the Thrillbent comments:

Loving everything on this site but so far this is the stand out comic for me. Genuinely thought Z was going to be replaced by the endling in the tank. Proper feeling of tension and only one innocent to root for with no idea who the true bad guy is. Keep coming guys.

The Endling will be back at the end of the month. Hold on, it will be worth it! 

Golden Age available!

'Morning! Happy New Year! I have neglected this blog for too long; an update was overdue. So, why don't I start by saying that GOLDEN AGE is now available on the Ginger Rabbit store?

Here on Poopsheet you can find a lovely review about GOLDEN AGE. I'll just quote a passage:

Latella’s art is simply gorgeous here, with full color vibrant watercolors (or ink washes?) that really pop, without coming off as garish. The production quality on this book is exquisite, with a heavy cardstock cover and some great design work. There’s no reason that mainstream punters couldn’t be converted to indie comics with a package this strong, I could even see it functioning as a teaser for a more extended length original graphic novel. Grade A+.
