CBR Interview with John Ostrander

CBR posted an interview with comics writer John Ostrander on the upcoming Agent of the Empire: Hard Targets.

“This one is bit more of a John LeCarre spy story with explosions, chases, and a beautiful woman or two. There are still Bond elements to it but it’s a darker story and Cross is more of a bastard in it — We want to include other espionage tropes and memes in it as well. This arc includes a John LeCarre feel and some nods to the Steed and Peel ‘Avengers’ series. There are still plenty of Bondian touches to the story, but not every arc is going to be a ‘Bond film.’ I want to keep the readers on their toes.” –John Ostrander

Dark Horse Comics has released their solicitations for November 2012. Here’s the Star Wars rundown.

Agent of the Empire: Hard Targets #2 (of 5)

Release Date: November 21
FC, 32 pages, $2.99, Miniseries

Writer: John Ostrander
Penciller: Davidé Fabbri
Inker: Christian Dalla Vecchia
Colorist: Wes Dzioba
Cover Artist: Stéphane Roux

Imperial Agent Jahan Cross doesn’t like his assignment or the politicians he is forced to work with. Yet dealing with all of that is easier than coming to terms with his growing respect for a boy whose father he killed—especially when that boy is supposed to be merely a political pawn of the Empire.
When attackers kidnap the boy, Cross finds himself turning his back on his mission and putting his life on the line for a “pawn.” No job is too dangerous for an Agent of the Empire!

A Look at ‘Hard Targets #2’

Artist Stephane Roux has posted the cover for Agent of the Empire: Hard Targets #2 on his blog (which we got a first look at in May). He shares some details about the characters and their design with some nice early drafts of the cover.

Here is a glimpse at the upcoming one. The Pirate girl had to have a UK TV series ” the Avengers’ Emma Peel ”  look. And the bearded guy and ” Alan Rickman in Prince of Thieves ” kinda look. I think he’s related, in the story, to the Count Dooku Lineage. So I tried to inject a little bit of that too. Yet, some people think I drew myself in the picture. Go figure.
