C2E2: MIKE DEBALFO JOINS ASPEN, SOULFIRE

At its panel at C2E2 on Saturday, Aspen Comics anounced that artist Mike DeBalfo will be joining the Aspen team and taking on Soulfire beginning with Vol. 4 #1. J.T. Krul continues as writer.

DeBalfo will be providing covers and interiors on his first monthly assignment.

"Mike's art and more importantly his motivation to continually grow as an artist solidified our feeling that he'd be a perfect fit for Soulfire," editor-in-chief Vince Hernandz said. "After many discussions with Mike, we knew he was ready for the challenge of taking on one our principle titles and expanding upon it with his own touch. We're excited to see what he'll deliver, as well as seeing how his artwork will continue to progress as he gets further along. I know he's more than ready to show everyone what he can do on both ends."

DeBalfo's arrival on the title comes at a crucial moment in the Soulfire Universe on the heels of the weekly summer crossover "The Search for the Light," which will dramatically alter the future of the title. This will include a redesign of the Soulfire heroine Grace.

In addition to Soulfire, DeBalfo will teaming up with colorist Peter Steigerwald to provide variant covers for the publisher's other titles throughout the month of August, including Executive Assistant: Assassins, Fathom, Homecoming as well as Soulfire.

"Many fans are finally going to get what they've been craving from me; a series of twenty page issues of awesome, cover to cover, over the next several months!" DeBalfo said. "This collaboration has been a long time in the making but I was no less humbled when asked to be the guy to design the new Grace."
