On the third day of the 2013 New York Comic Con
independent comic book publisher, ComixTribe, announced Crosswords #0, the
third of four new titles to be released in 2014 revealed at the convention.
What's a 10-Letter Word for a Villain Worthy of his Own
Book?
Crosswords a new one-shot written by Jason Ciaramella
(The Cape, Thumbprints) with art by Joe Mulvey (SCAM), will focus on the
power-drill wielding SCAM antagonist, and give the villain a chance to continue
his dirty work, this time in Europe.
"Joe Mulvey is without a doubt the greatest
Italian-American artist working in comics today," said Ciaramella.
"He's all "Meatballs!" and I'm like "I know, right?!"
Then we kiss cheeks in the way of the old country. I'd never pass up a chance
to work with him. Ever."
"All of my nice comments about Jason went out the
window when he called me Italian," muttered Mulvey. "Right out the
effin' window."
Creative differences aside, both creators are excited to
spend more time with the scene-stealing SCAM villain. The events of the
CROSSWORDS one-shot will pick up from where both the SCAM mini-series and the
upcoming SCAMthology end off.
"Mulvey told me he and Ciaramella wanted to do
crosswords together," recalled ComixTribe publisher Tyler James. "I
thought, well, isn't that sweet, and told those two love-birds to have fun with
it. I thought they meant the New York Times'."
Crosswords will be a one-shot releasing in May 2014. The
original SCAM mini-series concludes with SCAM #4 Finale next month, followed by
SCAMthology in early 2014.
