THE LEGEND BEGINS ANEW …DEEP DIVE DAREDEVILS VOL. 2 BEGINS!
Welcome back, Daredevilers, it’s great to “see” you all again. On behalf of the entire DDD team, I’d like to THANK y’all for hanging in there with us during the hiatus and joining us for the dawning of the Second Age of the Deep Dive Daredevils…
This week we’ve dropped the COVER to BEYOND FAMILIAR SHORES (to be more precise it’s the cover to the Prologue of BFS, but why split hairs). BFS is, without a doubt, going to be the BIGGEST DDD story to date, and it all starts right here!
I don’t want to say too much about the direction of BFS yet for fear of spoiling some really cool surprises, and besides, I think that this week’s update has more than enough raw meat to chew on as you wait for NEXT WEEK and the debut of Page One of the Prologue. Do not miss it!
A couple announcements really quick:
1. While it should be obvious to all the seasoned Daredevilers out there that Danilo Guida is still behind the tiller, handling the art chores, what might not be so obvious is that Danilo is only providing the Pencils and Inks. That’s right; it is my pleasure to introduce DDD’s brand-new Colorist, Angela Consol! She’s a stellar new member of the crew, and I can’t wait for you guys and gals to see the POP she brings to the pages.
2. We’ve also got another new crewman (though you won’t see his work until Page One hits next week) who’s enlisted to serve on the Custer. Ben Timmreck – the Art Director on SPAWN and all of Todd McFarlane’s Image titles – will be replacing Steven Finch (A.K.A Fonografiks) as DDD’s Letterer. While we bid a fond farewell to Steven – his work defined the visual language of DDD and for that we are forever grateful – we are also super-stoked to have Ben coming on board to make his own mark on the Daredevils!
Welp, it’s great to be back…that is for DAMN sure. I can’t wait for y’all to see what we have in store…
Anyways, till next week!
-Matt-
Yippee!
My feelings exactly
WOOHOO! We’re back! Let’s go crazy…and switch over to Disqus! (No, seriously, it would be a good move IMHO). Anyway, glad to see the new pages at last. I suspect that Captain Custer is aboard the H.L. Hunley; am I right? I know I am!
There has got to be a trope that covers placing a fictional character in an actual historical event, right?
Good to see you again, Crazyman!
I’ve been intrigued by the “Peripatetic Coffin” for over 50 years. I have the honor of living just a few miles from where the craft is being restored and studied. Looking forward to the story.
Very cool, MasterDiver!
We’ve worked hard and done a lot of research in hopes that we can do the story of the H.L. Hunley justice.
I’m looking forward to your thoughts as the story progresses…
From sustained underwater dive, you resurface at the exact place and time you predicted … quite a testament to the quality of your Inertial Navigation System.
Some jerk may call it Tuesday, but we call it The Day The Deep Dive Daredevils Came Back.
On a totally different subject: I wonder if September 1939 is an equally memorable time mark in the DDD universe.
BTW, my latest blog post discusses Deep Dive Daredevils: Pitch Black Day -> The Movie, talking about how I would adapt the story for the screenplay, and especially how I would cast the major characters, and also some minor ones. Go check it out!
Nice! Loved the article, Timothy.
Some interesting/bold casting choices in there for sure…
Call me candid, call me crazy, but don’t dare to call me a coward.
Hi Timothy, thanks for the article.
I tried to leave a comment twice, but it was impossible…
Hi Danilo, thanks for your thoughts. It looks like there was some hiccup with the comment mechanism on my blog. I finally managed to get one of them approved.
Yes! It finally worked !
Ah! It´s good to be back!
Where to begin…
Welcome Aboard Angela and Ben!
Welcome back 315 Crew, and Danilo.
You have definitely caught my attention with this new, and fascinating, tangent. Now lets keep this yarn coming regularly, or I’ll have yer guts for garters!
FYI, I was going to vote for you at TWC, but I think I accidentally miss-clicked and bought a Ukrainian wife instead, now my wife is really going to be ticked off! I wonder how much return shipping will be?
Hey T. Gatto, great to see you, man!
Ukrainian Bride? I think I might have picked up one of those by accident myself at TWC. It happens. But, don’t EVER stop voting
