Not content to blow our minds with the incredible teaser comic for “The Wicked + The Divine”, it’s just been announced that he’ll be illustrating a variant for the third issue of Antony Johnston and Justin Greenwood’s sci-fi buddy-cop comic “The Fuse.”
In typical McKelvie tradition, it’s pretty damn gorgeous. Antony Johnston (no relation, I think) is impressed too: “Even though Jamie is taller, younger, and better looking than me, I find it hard to resent him because he’s so damn good,” said Johnston. “I’ve had the privilege of watching him develop over the years into one of modern comics’ premier talents, especially for his cover and design work, and this awesome cover for The Fuse shows why. I have no doubt it will be our most ordered variant yet, which will only serve to further swell his big, tall head. Dammit.”
Dammit. Indeed.
The first two issues for “The Fuse” are currently out and, if our Pick of the Week review of the premiere issue from a while back is any indication, it’s a series undoubtedly worth checking out.
“The Fuse” #3 shows up on shelves April 23rd.
