"Samnee" rhymes with "omni".

I've done artwork for the graphic novel Capote in Kansas (which I received a nomination for the 2006 Russ Manning award for) and Queen and Country, both published by Oni Press, The Exterminators and American Splendor, published by DC/Vertigo and Checkmate, published by DC Comics as well as the Daredevil Annual: Blood of the Tarantula with writers Ed Brubaker and Ande Parks published by Marvel. I recently completed a graphic novel for Vertigo with writer Christos Gage and I'm currently working on the Marvel MAX series Dead of Night: Devil Slayer with writer Brian Keene. I live in the 'burbs with my lovely wife, Laura and our happy little cat Scout. All characters TM and © their respective owners.

Cannot wait for this. Looks awesome.
Pleasure to get a taste of this finally. Shame Daredevil was still just off-stage. There's an element to these pages that also make Michael Lark's pages so cool - not that I want to belie your originality by comparing you to others: The great chiaroscuro. Also great panel progressions and movement. Your colourist is serving you well too. It's all good
Chris, it looks great. I've been looking forward to this. Did they let you ink yourself or did the colorist color over your pencils?
Hey Chris! Thought the preview was pretty good! It was great seeing you at Planet Comicon again! BTW, that finished Blackbolt looks fantastic!
Thanks a bunch everybody! Now make sure you go pick yourself up a copy, okay?
Oh, and for the record , if you're wondering if I inked something chances are pretty darn good I did. I'll do everything I can to make sure I'm the only one puttin' ink on my babies:)
Oh, but Hollingsworth is truly amazing with color. His colors on this issue were everything I'd hoped for and more.
Thanks again, folks. Have a great weekend!
Damn Samnee...you made my heart go pitter-patter. You're style brings me back to the days of Mazzuchelli doing the book. And Hollingsworth I give credit to for understanding how to color your understated linework.
I'm actually going to buy this one, too much to learn to pass this one up.

Gosh! Thanks, Shane. You're gonna make me blush:)
