bleedingcool.com/comics/jason-howard-to-draw-jonathan-hickmans-duels-comic/Jason Howard To Draw Jonathan Hickman's Duels Comic Posted on October 12, 2021 by Rich Johnston| On his most recent Substack, Jonathan Hickman announced that Jason Howard would be drawing for the upcoming Duels series, part of the Three Worlds Three Moons 3W3M universe that Hickman is creating on Substack with Mike Del Mundo and Mike Huddlestone, as well as guest-writers Al Ewing and Ram V. Because now Hickman tells us Jason Howard is "the absurdly talented artist behind Super Dinosaur, Big Girls, Trees, and Astounding Wolf-Man. He's got an amazing sense of motion and fun in everything he does, so he made perfect sense for the Duels story (which just so happens to have both)." But what is Duels? It emerged from Ram V's treatment for the economic systems of the planets and moons in 3W3M, Jonathan Hickman wrote his own responses and notes, saying "Sure there's going to be a certain amount of crime everywhere, and with that kind of money rolling around a large amount of it is going to be organized, but I think there have to be rules on HEIR about why these guys get to run around trying to murder each other — and everyone is cool with it — but the random murders of others (and/or bystanders) would not be (because that's bad for business). So I think there has to be some type of codified system of duels for the royals on HEIR, which would also imply that there would need to be some type of specialized organization that's over it or part of it. And since these are royals I think it would have to 'part of it,' because I don't see these guys subjugating themselves to murder bosses or something. Super high-end games of death sounds cool." They do. He later wrote; "I really want to do something on AKVA with the pirate mining operation. How that works, what that looks like. Getting to put our eyes on the KHOR. It's hard not to want to see the terrible royals on HEIR and their system of codified assassinations called DUELS. Hard to choose which one I want to see more. Almost impossible really. So, screw it. Let's do both." He then laid out what he would need for Duels. "An assassin that is part of the royal games of death, big and tank-like. We need a Royal who is trying to have another royal killed. We need the location that all of this is taking place, and method of travel, some kind of cool vehicle or such, and finally, we need the tokens." With Mike Huddlestone doing designs for Duels' Assassins and Tokens, with Mike Del Mundo on Royal and Vehicle designs. Hiddlestone wrote " I needed to design an assassin, a device the assassins use to accept contracts, a timer, and tokens that have a symbolic purpose… His description: "A brute. He's big, strong, and terrifying — he looks like the kind of guy that twists the heads off of birds. Then moves on to twisting the heads off babies." … "He's a giant murderous bastard. A cruel smirk on his face." Which, going through lots of choices and decisions, Mike delivered thus; To see the all the thought processes, workthroughs, more art and much more explanations, you'll probably need to subscribe. As for the tokens, "These depict the various schools and methods of assassinations, laid out in the script. There are three of them: Think of it like Assassin: rock, paper, scissors."… I don't know if the assassin organizations are legal on this world, but even if they are, I imagine in their early histories they were not. So instead of custom cards or tokens that announce their presence, I think their traditions would come from a history of being covert. I imagine coins, whose backs have been defaced, with crude symbols carved into its surface. If someone is searched they just have a handful of coins, and even if one of the defaced coins is discovered it's odd but not immediately incriminating. It also felt like an anarchic statement to deface a symbol of local government and then carve your symbol directly into it. So maybe these schools have risen to high social status, but I think their traditions would enshrine their early hidden years, and one of those is this tradition of defaced, hand carved coins (perhaps even handed down?) that carry their symbols. " Sweet. Subscribe to Jonathan Hickman, Mike Del Mundo and Mike Huddlestone's Substack here, 3w3m.substack.com/p/three-worlds-three-moons

bleedingcool.com/comics/christian-ward-joins-jonathan-hickman-on-3w3m-substack/Christian Ward Joins Jonathan Hickman On 3W3M Substack Posted on January 7, 2022 by Rich Johnston|Comments Christian Ward is the latest comic book creator to join the Three Worlds Three Moons (3W3M) comic book shared universe created by Jonathan Hickman, Mike Huddleston, and Mike Del Mundo for publication on Substack. Alongside the likes of Ram V, Al Ewing, Tini Howard, Jason Howard, Stephen Green, and more. Ward is best known for ODY-C, Black Bolt, Invisible Kingdom, Ultimates2, Infinite Vacation and more. The Substack announced the news. Yesterday we promised you some reveals on who would be drawing the next set of [SYSTEMS] Stories. So here's the first one of those, and it's a great one. Christian Ward is the highly acclaimed artist behind BLACK BOLT, ODY-C, and INVISIBLE KINGDOM. Here's a taste of the incredible work he's doing here, from his (stellar) layouts: Amazing, right? You can follow Christian on Instagram here. Christian's working off designs by Huddleston, and we've got a great [PROCESS] post of his on the way as we get closer to this one. Also, as a head's up: Christian's story will be for paid subscribers only, so if you haven't already… They have also just published Al Ewing's backmatter contribution to 3W3M. Or, at least, tried to. Apparently Substack can only mail out so much text, so they have had to divide it into two parts – and subscribers are told to expect more like that. All right, so this is the Religion document that Al Ewing wrote for us. Both he and Tini wrote longer documents than Ram, and even without my comments both exceed the length we can email, so you'll get half of Al's document today, the rest tomorrow, and then all next week I'll expand on what Al gave us (the same format will apply to Tini's). As usual, Al has done an excellent —- and thorough —- job. There's A LOT of super cool stuff in here. NOTE: This first section is really just Al working through everything. Sorting all his materials, deciding which tools to use, etc. I've left it in because it's a look into how his head works — what his process is. Which in a lot of ways, is just as important as the final work, and kinda the point of this project. Enjoy! -JH Of all the Substack subscription comic book deliveries so far, 3W3M is probably ahead on her content, even if the number of actual comic book pages delivered is few. But given the quality of the contributors, so one really seems to mind…

www.comicsbeat.com/new-partners-vault-and-lunar-zoop-and-3w-3m/New partners: Vault and Lunar; Zoop and 3W/3M In an interesting start-up team-up, 3 Worlds/3 Moons, the Substack based publishing imprint created by Mike del Mundo, Jonathan Hickman, and Mike Huddleston, has announced that they are teaming with crowdfunding platform Zoop for fulfillment. 3W/3M is partnering with the team at Zoop, a comics-centric crowdfunding/pre-order platform, to print, fulfill, and ship that book to you, as well as all other promised subscriber rewards (such as the First 500/Founders Ashcan/Print/Collector Card). The first project to be fulfilled via Zoop will be the The [SYSTEMS] Graphic Novel Sourcebook, their first print publication from 3W/3M which was offered as a reward for Founding and Annual subscribers. Although subscribers will need to pay for shipping, foreign subscribers will be able to get the books, provided they can pay for shipping. Zoop launched last year as a one-stop shop for pre-order, production, fulfillment, and marketing for creators who don’t want to do all the nitty gritty for their crowdfunding campaigns. It makes a lot of sense for a small publisher like 3W/3M to outsource some of that – although calling 3W/3M a small publisher may be a bit of a misnomer as they recently hired Steve Wacker away from Marvel, and are planning an ambitious slate of interconnected SF titles.
