SLG Editor in Chief Jennifer de Guzman was kind enough to send over some promo art for the two properties they announced a couple of days ago, Progeny and Mecha-Nation. Here’s Progeny:
And here’s Mecha-Nation:
Both books are created by The Spectacular Spider-Man producers Greg Weisman and Vic Cook. If I’m not mistaken, the art for the Progeny piece (and maybe the Mecha-Nation one as well) is by Sean Galloway, who worked with them on the Spider-Man cartoon. Jennifer added that they don’t have a firm release date yet, as both Weisman and Cook are pretty busy with their animation work, but Weisman would be in San Diego to talk about them.

Mecha-Nation is actually something that Greg has been working on for years. At the 2003 Gargoyles convention, he told the attendees that it was something he planned to pitch to one of the animation studios. Clearly, it never got that far, and he kept the characters.
It’s great to see that Greg is getting back into comics beyond his Gargoyles books, and that he’s getting to create his own characters. I just hope that SLG can promote and release these comics effectively. The Gargoyles books are great, but perpetually later (in part due to Disney’s failure to approve them ina timely fashion, even though Disney never changes a thing.)

Even though the mere mention of mecha excites me, Progeny looks more interesting than Mecha Nation
