A big thank-you to Barnes & Noble, who are making their exclusive The Way of Shadows graphic novel sampler available FREE to everyone via digital download. So if you couldn’t make it in to a Barnes & Noble this past weekend to grab the admittedly-cooler physical version, you can still get your copy HERE. (The download link for the PDF is right below the cover image.)

Brent sat down for a chat about comics with Peter V. Brett over at the Speculate! Podcast. Hosts Brad Beaulieu and Gregory A. Wilson grilled them about Brett’s Red Sonja projects, the graphic novel adaptation of The Way of Shadows, and more. You can tune in HERE. And next week they’ll be posting part 2!
As we’ve been releasing character sketches from the upcoming The Way of Shadows graphic novel, I’ve been working with two very talented artists on the script and illustrations. The process has been fun and more than a little creatively and intellectually challenging, but I’ve been consistently impressed by the caliber of their work, so I wanted to share a little more about them–and maybe lead you to some other projects you’ll enjoy:
IVAN BRANDON writes for a number of different entertainment mediums, among them film, animation and video games. He is arguably best known for his work in American comic books, where his scripts have been published by every major US publisher with translations all over the world. He lives in New York City. You can follow Ivan on twitter via @IvanBrandon.
ANDY MACDONALD is a veteran comic book artist who has worked with virtually every major comic book publishing house and was one of the co-creator’s of the series NYC Mech. He lives in Brooklyn, NY. You can follow him on twitter via @andymacdeez.
Here’s some illustrations Andy did for the graphic novel Zoo, by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge. (Click to embiggen)
And HERE’s a little project he did for fun with Marvel characters re-envisioned as high-fashion models.

Over at the Brent Weeks Facebook page, we’re rolling out new sketches of Night Angel characters each week — and letting you guess who they are.
