Robin's New Assignment

We've been waiting to announce this for awhile, but it's officially on DC's site now so we have received the editor's permission to post the news. Robin is part of the creative team launching a new book set in the DC universe called Bloodhound. Dan Jolley is writing, Leonard Kirk is pencilling, and Robin's the inker. The hype paragraph describes it, the way hype paragraphs will, as "a creator-owned monthly that's got the tongues of DC execs eagerly wagging. The series focuses on Travis 'Bloodhound' Clevenger, a brutal ex-cop born and bred for tracking down metahuman criminals. But this 'Hound doesn't settle for taking bites out of crime; he takes chunks! Sit up and heed our words: fetch this book!" I'm very excited that Robin gets in on the ground floor of a brand-new title and character (I don't think he's started on the first issue of a book since his Marvel UK days), particularly when he's working with his "birthday twin" Leonard, and I'm also relieved that this steady work comes at a time when we're really going to need the income. And with Rob's efficiency, inking one steady book a month will still leave him time for working on his pencils and/or taking on other inking assignments and/or doing commissions. But I'm getting ahead of myself. For now, we both have steady employment and will soon be living in a nice quiet place and being more mobile and all that good stuff... Things finally seem to be looking up!
