The Blog is dead, long live WordPress!

As of 14th February 2009 this Blog will no longer be updated please go to

www.moorereppion.com

Behold the new moorereppion.com in all it's glory! After much swearing, gnashing of teeth, etc our new website is finally ready. This means we have no further need of Blogger (sorry Blogger, we had some good times though, didn't we?) as our homepage will become our Blog.

We're going to leave the old Blog here as an archive however because, even though we can import the posts to WordPress, the formatting of them is wrong for the new site.

So, don't forget to update your bookmarks! See you at moorereppion.com.

More Drac-ety Yak plus first look at Colton Worley's artwork

The Complete Dracula page 4 by Colton Worley.

Those nice chaps over at Newsarama have been kind enough to do a fair bit of writing about The Complete Dracula over the last few days and you, you lovely people, have been getting all excited and saying lots of very nice things about it, so thanks for that. We really, really appreciate it.

Just in case you missed it first time around here are the links:

Series announcement http://www.newsarama.com/comics/010927-Complete-Dracula.html

Interview with Moore & Reppion http://www.newsarama.com/comics/010930-Moore-Reppion-Dracula.html

Today they've posted an interview with our amazing artist Colton Worley but, not only that, they've also posted the first four pages of the book! Head over to http://www.newsarama.com/comics/020903-Dracula-Worley.html and feast your eye's on the man's genius.

New Moore & Reppion stuff out now!

The trade paperback edition of our 4 part Top Cow/Dynamite Entertainment crossover mini The Darkness vs. Eva - Daughter of Dracula is out this week.

If you missed it the first time around, here are a couple of pages to whet your appetite.

You should be able to find the book at your local comic shop but, if you don't fancy the walk, you can order a copy from Forbidden Planet international by clicking the banner below.

Also out this week is Mike Raicht's Creature Feature #2 from Th3rd Wold Studios. Which features a 12 page story called "Imago" written by us and drawn by 2000 AD legend P J Holden.

Here's a taste of the schlocky horror goodness:
CF #2 also features horrific tales written by Stuart Moore (IRON MAN, WOLVERINE), Mike Raicht (ARMY OF DARKNESS) and Brian Smith (ADVENTURES OF DANIEL BOOM: LOUDBOY) with art by Alberto Ponticelli (UNKNOWN SOLDIER), Jacob Chabot (MIGHTY SKULLBOY ARMY), and Brian Smith.

Again, all good comic shops should have CF #2 in stock but if they don't (why those lousy...!) then click on the banner below to visit the official Th3rd World store.


Sod the recession, cheer yourself up and go and buy some comics!

The Complete Dracula coming in April 2009

Coming April 2009

THE COMPLETE DRACULA #1

Written by Bram Stoker, Leah Moore and John Reppion, art by Colton Worley, covers by John Cassady.

Dynamite presents an unprecedented comic book series that tells the complete story of the Lord of the Undead -- Dracula! For the first time in 112 years the tale that Bram Stoker intended to tell is told (including "Dracula's Guest"!). If you thought you knew how it began or how it ends, you were wrong! A five-issue issue odyssey of life, death and the blood that flows within us all!

This fully painted series features a massive 32 pages of story and art per issue, each page fully-painted in a rich, moody style by Worley, all under covers by modern master John Cassaday! Moore and Reppion also provide bonus material such as script pages, annotations and samplings of the original text by Bram Stoker!

40 pages, $4.99.

At last we can talk about this project! We have been working on The Complete Dracula since late 2007 and the finished scripts add up to over 120,000 words (which isn't all that far behind the 166,000-ish words of the original text really). It's been a mammoth undertaking but we have really enjoyed it and can't wait for people to see what Colton has done with the artwork.

Here's to the year of the vampire!

Doctor Who - The Whispering Gallery first look

Ben Templesmith has posted a couple of finished pages and some WIP shots of The Whispering Gallery over on his Blog.

Not bad eh?

Don't forget, Previews catalog order number: DEC084084.

What's happening to www.Moorereppion.com?

Just a quick post to let you all know, the domain name www.moorereppion.com is now showing a placeholder as we have switched from Godaddy to One.com, for our domain name hosting, and from Geocities for our web storage.

We discovered we were paying tons to Godaddy and Geocities for all the different bits and bobs of the website, and it was cheaper and simpler to have it all in one place.
We should have a proper placeholder up soon, and then we can get the new website underway. In the mean time, the forum is still the same, and this blog will be the same so we can let you know whats going on as it happens.

Rescheduled Astral Gypsy signing Sat 24th January 2009

We will be signing at The Astral Gypsy (mega talent Al Davison's shop/studio) in Coventry, UK on Saturday 23th January 2009 in the afternoon.

Please do pop in and say hello.

Out with the old (dont panic).

Happy 2009 to you!

To celebrate this glorious new year we have finally switched our site over to a new host (www.one.com). This means that www.MooreReppion.com may be down (or at least not have very much stuff on it) for a short while.

www.MooreReppion.Blogspot.com and johnreppion.proboards33.com will remain online for the duration however and, though they will probably change cosmetically, their content will be left as is.

We'll do our very best keep you updated. Thanks in advance for your patience.
