This announcement coming from artist Grant Gould’s SW.com blog:
“Lucasfilm announced some exciting news at Comic-Con regarding a weekly Clone Wars online comic that will accompany the TV series. There will be four artists switching off each week — Grant Gould (me), Tom Hodges, Katie Cook, and Jeff Carlisle — and I’m really excited about it. I think it’s gonna set a new standard in webcomics and blow everyone away.”
We also have co-artist Tom Hodges giving us a little more of an explanation on the setup and style of the comics on TF.N forums. He stated:
“This has been a few months in the making and I’m relieved to be giving out details.
Pablo Hildago at Lucas Online approached me earlier this year and asked me to give
him a few names of people I would be comfortable working with. Right off the top of
my head I suggested Katie and Grant. the 3rd was difficult as I have many a lot of
friends who I would have liked to have on this, it just seemed like some were too
busy. Pablo suggested Jeff and I agreed.
The quick version is each week, we’ll be given a story leading into that weeks
episode. Now it could be a direct tie-in or peripherally connected from a distance
because some episodes have story arcs not connected to each and every episode. Keep
in mind, the series will not always be about Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme. It will
flesh out characters we’ve only seen bits and pieces of.
This will also NOT be “web-strip” format. It will be full color, comic format and
each story will be 5 pages in length.
I’ve been really excited about this (and one other project I have with them that i
should be able to talk about soon). I’m really excited for Katie, Jeff and Grant as
well.”
Very special thanks to our good friend Eddie for letting us know about this exciting announcement. We’ll keep you updated on these new comics!
