Jeff Lemire has made the transition from critical darling on the independent scene to one of the top writers leading the pack of DC’s New 52. Very few writers can make that transition from the Indie world to mainstream superheroes, but Lemire consistently turns out top notch writing, “Animal Man” and “Justice League Dark” being two of the best things DC is publishing today.

Despite having some of the biggest success of his comic book career at DC Comics, Lemire has remained committed to producing creator owned work. Lemire continues to write and draw “Sweet Tooth”, his long running Vertigo series, as it builds towards its epic conclusion in the coming months. Recently Lemire brought Matt Kindt on board for a three issue stint on “Sweet Tooth” to handle the art duties while he concentrated on finishing his new original graphic novel The Underwater Welder. “The Underwater Welder” is perhaps Lemire’s best work to date with stunning artwork and masterful storytelling. I smell awards coming his way. READ MORE

Jeff Lemire has solidified his status as a premiere writer over the past year with his work for DC on books like “Animal Man”, “Sweet Tooth”, and “Frankenstein Agent of SHADE”. Despite his awe-inducing capabilities to write ongoing series, he’s always had a knack for graphic novels. He continuously receives praise for his heartfelt, bizarre tales and his unique art style, which you may recognize from the pages of “Sweet Tooth”. It was announced today on Lemire’s blog that his brand new original graphic novel, The Underwater Welder, is set for release just in time for San Diego Comic Con in July. The graphic novel is described as a “mind-bending science fiction epic” that will tell the tale of Jack Joseph and his strange encounter under the sea. You can pre-order it now from Top Shelf, and it’s really in your best interest to do so. More details after the jump. READ MORE
