Let Go Kickstarter successful!

Let Go, a futuristic graphic novel I'm drawing for writers Jon Perry and Ted Kupper (of the Review the Future podcast) was successfully funded on Kickstarter (YAY!) Thank you to all who contributed. Jon, Ted and I will make our best to deliver you the best product possible.

You can read the first 16 pages of Let Go here.

Death Saves is on amazon.com

Death Saves: Fallen Heroes of the Kitchen Table, a fantasy anthology for which I drew and colored the short story Roll of the Die (written by Mike Sebastian) is now available on amazon.com.

I read Death Saves from cover to cover instead of eating dinner, if that gives you an idea of how much I enjoyed it. Right around the part where the hate song to the gelatinous cube gave way to the story of the misadventures of a warforged hero, I knew I wasn’t going to put it down anytime soon.

Native Lands #1 is available digitally!

Story by James Cavanagh
Colours by Michael Woods
Lettered by Weston Design Studio

Reviews on:

Graphic Policy

Cavanagh’s storytelling is at top form within this story, as the premise and character development is well planned, and one can tell, it is a big overreaching arc, that only if you follow, you will eventually be let in. Latella’s illustrations, feel so intimate in not only setting and but also in character.

Pulp Cultured

Native Lands starts off strong mainly because how much information is omitted from the readers in the first issue. There’s so many questions to be answered and it makes for wild speculation and a great read that you won’t be able to put down. James Cavanagh has shown that in just one issue spanning just thirty pages that there is a ton to learn about each character in Native Lands keeping things on edge and in anticipation as to where this book is headed. The art so far, has been detailed, refined, and much more put together than some indie titles can own up to which will draw you right into the dark colors and bold inks utilized by Cecilia Latella and Michael Woods respectively.

 Comic Crusaders

There is enough to whet the appetite and I am sure that those curious about the fate of the gifted will follow the series.

News and praise about Golden Age

Golden Age (written by Giulie Speziani & Rob Harrington and illustrated by me) is now available on Comixology:

Praise on Part-time Fanboy:

While the story is very endearing what makes Golden Age work most is its beautiful art. Cecilia Latella brings a warmth to every page with her hand painted artwork. Every page is breathtaking and while this is actually a comic book, Latella’s style is on par with some of the best children’s books artists out there. When I first picked up the comic I was actually shocked as to how good the art was. Latella’s talent was of the sort that I couldn’t turn away from…she’s that amazing.

Praise on Major Spoilers:

The art of Golden Age is as beautiful as one would expect. Cecilia Latella has utterly simple lines filled in with water colour paints. This hand painted aesthetic highlights the whimsy of Rosa’s dream-life as the Wrangler as well as the inherent appeal in her bright, spritely self as a character. The environment, like Rosa herself, is painted in fresh colours that speak to all the potential resting on the horizon of Italy as a growing country and Rosa as a growing girl.
Cecilia Latella tackles every art duty on Golden Age with aplomb, while at the same thing not giving off the impression of showing off. She brings magic to the page complementing the wonderful story. Even those readers who focus solely on the artistic aspect of comic book production will find Golden Age a visual treasure trove.

 Praise on What'cha Reading? Golden Age is a Timeless Childhood Classic 

The artwork in this book is as sweet as the story it accompanies. Cecilia Latella has a knack for drawing children, and the vivid colors are bright like the memories of childhood. I also loved the shift in style for the comic that inspires Rosa to superherodom—it looks for all the world like a Golden Age comic about Hitler.
