Greetings everyone,

After more than two months without posting any homage covers I believe the people who follow this blog deserve a little update and an explanation.

My day job has been as busy as ever, but the reason that have caused all this months of absence (the Invisibles homage was good, wasn't it?) has been two comic-book scripts I've worked on alongside Pablo Durá. The first of them that will see the light has just been announced by Marvel Comics, a two-pager story for Original Sins #4 drawn by Erica Henderson and the other one is a 4-issue mini-series for Amigo Comics (Rogues! The Westwood Witches) drawn by Diego Galindo, soon to be announced.

Having said that, this doesn't mean that I'm pulling the plug on I love comic covers. I'll keep posting new covers whenever I get a chance, but what's for sure is that the self-inflicted rythm of daily posts for the most part of the last three years is not coming back.

Thanks very much everyone for your comments and your interest.

And tomorrow we'll have a comeback cover.
