The first one is KISS: FOREVER, with art by Daniel HDR.
We take a look at four different historical eras, and place one of the KISS avatars in each, interacting with the people of that time!
The Catman shows up in the stone age, the Demon shows up shortly before Rome burns during Nero's reign, there's a Caribbean pirate pastiche with the Starman, and a near-silent Spaceman story set during that period of time where NASA was sending men to the moon!
I hope you'll all find the mix of stories and settings as much fun as I did while working on it!

The second one-shot is RED SONJA: THE LONG WALK TO OBLIVION.
If you've read Red Sonja #0, you know that Sonja was fighting a demon in the land of Meru before being blasted into another time and place -- and this book takes place right before, leading Sonja to Meru and the demon she battles at the beginning of #0!
This story features a lot of good old fashioned warrior fun -- including a good reason not to get nosy with Sonja, a flying monster, a bands of mercenary scum looking for revenge... and lots of Sonja showing folks the bloody business end of her favorite sword.
Honestly, the story could be about anything and still be awesome, since this book features art by comics legend Tom Mandrake!

Red Sonja and KISS were a whole lot of fun to work on -- a bit of a departure into pulp fantasy for me, and I had a blast working on them. So much of a blast, in fact, I'm looking forward to a chance to jump back into these genres again soon!
Look forward to hearing your thoughts, folks!
(Let me amend that. I look forward to hearing your good and happy thoughts!)
