The Falcone Report

April 2023

Spring is finally here! Time to enjoy some Easter chocolate and some gardening. I hope that you are marking the end of your vitamin D deficiencies in a fun way.
What I’m Writing

What a wild start to 2023. I’ve been grinding it out and submitting a lot of pitches, but unfortunately, I can’t talk about anything yet (and there really isn’t much to say right now anyway). But I have been chatting with my collaborators on Brotherhood of the Iron Dragon (Marcus To), Quid Pro Quo (Gibson Quarter), and Infamia (Daniel Angusson) and the more we chat the more I do get excited about jumping back into those worlds. Keep watching here and I’ll have more news soon.

Monsters by Barry Windsor-Smith

I know I’m a couple of years late to the party on this one but wow, what a ride. Political thriller, horror, and mystery all in one the graphic novel is one of the most ambitious projects of Barry Windsor-Smith’s career. Any fan should grab this today. Check it out at your local comic shop or find it here.

One More Thing

Artists and writers tend to have a bunch of different hobbies, and when you work in comic books your interests also tend to spill into other nerdy areas. My friend Eric Vedder and I have been into miniature wargaming for a while and I recently discovered a new game that might be of interest to any of you into fantasy worlds or building and painting models. Parabellum Games makes Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings, an excellent rank and flank style game that has filled the void left since the loss of Warhammer Fantasy. The world of Ea is rich and each army faction has a deep and well-thought-out lore.
