A Rose by any other name……

Well, I’ve decided to change the name of the comic.

I know, I know. It was a tough decision, but I wanted something more original than REVENANT, especially since Shadowline is coming out with their own REVENANT comic. In my opinion, don’t waste time competing…innovate!)

The tough thing was choosing a name that was destinctly pulpish, sounds like something a 14 year-old might choose, but also be something cool enough to last over decades. So, after going through handfulls of names, I settled on this:

Yep, GHOST ZERO. I think it has that pulp/B-movie feel that I was going for, and sounds like something Eddie might call himself. I doubt that Charles will care much what Eddie calls himself as long as the work gets done, but I think it will be (increasingly as we go along) important to Eddie to form an identity of his own….something that is obvious from the previous post with the 1958 costume.

So, look for this title on the next story I put out. We’ve gone from “HAUNTED: Tales of the Revenant” to “Tales of the Revenant” to “GHOST ZERO: Tales of the Revenant”. Hopefully, this title will stick around!

Tales of the Revenant 1958!

Folks,

I had an inspiration of what Eddie could look like in about 10 years (for him). You didn’t think that he would stay in that peacoat forever, did you?

Obviously as Eddie matures, he gets a definate idea of what image he’d like to present as the Revenant. This costume shows the assertion of his own personality, as well as a certain style for the times. There’s less of Charles’ influence here, and a bit more cold in Eddie’s eyes. For better or worse, a new Revenant for a new time.

Tales of the Resin!

I’ve just gotten an email update from (the awesome) sculptor Eric Diaz, who has received all of the Revenant Resin busts, which make kind of an eerie sight….

Ahh! A Legion of Vigilante Ghosts!! Heh..heh..heh…it is pretty cool.

Eric also has a friend painting one up in a super-ghostly style with….GLOWING EYES! You better believe I’ll show a pic of that when I get it!

We’ve also sent a bust off to be reviewed by the boys at Amazing Figure Modeler…which is an amazingly slick publication. It’s inspiring stuff!

Speaking of inspiring…check out all the ghoul-cool goodies that come with the Revenant Resin kit!
