Steve Niles Re-Imagines Superheroes With “The Sinner”
July 31st, 2007 by AdministratorAt last week’s big San Diego Comic Con, Steve announced a new superhero project he has in the works along with Bill Sienkiewicz. CBR has the skinny on “The Sinner.”
Legendary artist Bill Sienkiewicz is re-teaming with Niles on the project, and like Niles, the Eisner award winner also paints heroes with a wide brush.
“This is really what we’ve been leading up to the whole time,” explained Niles. “When I ran into Bill and he said he really wanted to come back to comics in a big way, the first thing we did a commercial product, “30 Days: Beyond Barrow.” It was just perfect timing, him coming along when he did. I needed a great painter to do my new “30 Days” series and here walks up Bill Sienkiewicz. It was pretty much a no-brainer. We did that and we have a story in this “I Am Legend” anthology that’s coming out, which is a book that features stories leading up to the movie.”
“But with ‘The Sinner,’ this is what Bill and I really want to do,” continued Niles. “Bill has so much experience in comics. ‘Moon Knight,’ ‘Fantastic Four,’ ‘New Mutants.’ He has done mainstream superheroes for so long and was a big part of the big new wave of change in the industry, which unfortunately led to nowhere as we now have to read comics featuring super heroes renewing their drivers licenses,” he laughed.
