Kick arse comics: The Landscaper
I had the good fortune to work for a couple of years with a really talented artist, Chris Messina. He combats a banal day job by applying his immense creativity to amazing side-projects in theatre, music and art. One such project is The Landscaper, a dark comic series about an average guy-turned-vigilante and the complicated world he finds himself thrown into.
He’s been going with it for a while now, but I find it hard to read them a page at a time so this morning I revisited the series from the beginning. It’s just so visually rich and gorgeous, I would LOVE to read it on real paper – hopefully one day I’ll get the chance.
Thanks so much for the post! It was so great to hear you liked the Landscaper comic. Yeah, we’re into our 3rd issue at the moment – and it’s been a blast watching this thing develop from a 13 page origin story to what it’s become. I really would love to do printed books in the future – and I’ll definitely let you know if I do. For the moment though, I’m really digging the online aspect of the series – so I guess we’ll see where that goes. I really hope you continue reading, even if it’s just waiting till the issue is finished to catch up. Thanks again for the great post, and support – I really appreciate it. c-
Love your work Chris!
