Pantheon High RIP

Yesterday I finished the last little bit of Pantheon High. It's been a long three years and I feel like I just had a 1500 pound monkey removed from my back. Now before I start my next book I have a little bit of downtime and instead of being lazy and enjoying the afterglow of finishing a 480 page project I am surprised to find I am inspired to work my ass off on my own projects, illustrations, short stories, preparation art for San Diego, etc. It's been kind of fun. And yes, that 1500 pound monkey is off my back for good. Now all I have to do is get the next ton and a half simian ready for a piggy-back ride.
Here's some recent work. The first one is a picture I did for an particular company to be named later (it should be pretty obvious) and the next one is part of a pitch I am putting together. Enjoy!!!

I can't wait to read the third part of Pantheon High. I'll get it in some form somehow.

Beautiful art, Steven. The first one makes a great cover for Marvel Adventures.

I miss you drawing some superheroes and they look so great when you draw them.

I love every line on the second picture. Really, I'm intrigued and I hope your pitch will transform in a comic pretty soon.

Keep up the great work and don't let that monkey on your back eat too many bananas. (Sorry couldn't come up with anything better.

)

Looking forward to more art by you!

Thanks for all the kind comments, Niko. If you do manage to find the book let me know; I might want to get a copy too!

Well, it is listed on Amazon.de:

I hope this is not a mistake, but it looks good!

The link didn't make it in its entirety, but you can go at www.amazon.de, click on English Books and write Pantheon High on the space. Eight Euros is a bargain!

Top notch drawing as always, steven.

So, does this mean that this will be the last
Pantheon High book? (Which I hope it isn;t,
because they're great)

Thanks for the question, fox709. Glad to hear you like the series! There is a third and last book, safely in the can and currently being lettered at Tokyopop headquarters. I don't know what will happen with it though, since I haven't heard any plans to print the book. There is some kind of talk about putting it up on the tokyopop website for subscribers to view, but I don't know any details about that either. Sorry I am pretty much useless. If Paul and I have our way it will be be published in some form somewhere since the third book kicks @ss!!! I'll be posting updates when I know something else, so please check back!
Steven

I've been eagerly checking back to purchase the third volume as well. I would be incredibly disappointed if this series was never finished in print. They keep adding series but dropping old one's...I'm glad to know it was finished though!!
