So, the news is finally out, even if was half hidden in a small blurb (about the recent Phoenix Con) on the Newsarama blog.
I can finally reveal what I have been working on since beginning of the new year (and still working on it as I type this): it's GARRISON, a creator-owned 6 issue mini from Jeff Mariotte and me that will published by Wildstorm pretty soon (I hope ;)).
The pitch? In Jeff's words: "It's a near-future action epic about the most dangerous man in the world, Lester Garrison, who happens to look like someone you'd find at the tractor pull on Friday night."
Jeff is not kidding when talking about action: I think it's the most action packed book I have drawn to date (and my past books had lots of action in them anyway), plus other cool, noirish, and hi-tech elements related to a colossal manhunt.
This book is anything but boring, I can promise you that :)
I can't show any of the artowrk yet, not until we get the ok to show by DC Comics, but you can trust me when I say this is gonna be a really fun ride :)
Cheers,
Francesco

Congratulations on such a neat gig, I'll be looking for it, you'd be enough to sell it for me, but Mariotte hasn't let me down either. Sounds great.
Can you imagine how excited i am? Not quite. That image said more that a thousand friggin' words. Looking forward to it Mr. Francavilla.
I'm excited for this, keep us updated on when you have official word on when it will be released!
Thank you so much, Greg, Neue, and Mike :D I am excited to see you guys excited about this... well I am excited about this too ;) and absolutely can't wait to start to share some of the art, as soon I get the OK to do so. Not sure on the relase date yet: hopefully early this Summer.
Cheers,
Francesco
There's a nice little noncommittal but gushing article/interview with Mariotte about the project here:

Sounds positively like a snake skin boot in the kisser, FF. Exciting news.
Thank you, Chad :D
Jeff definitely gave a more accurate description of the mini and yes, it''s gonna kick some serious butt - wait to see some of the pages and covers ;)
Cheers,
Francesco
