Mark Torres visits Invasion! Comics

That’s right, the same guys who brought us Stephen Segovia, Rudy Ao and Sonny Liew for their store’s grand opening are back with a new guest: Filipino artist Mark Torres.

While timings aren’t quite firmed up yet, the date is certain – It’ll be happening on Mar 9 at Invasion! Comics at Funan, just in time for the release of his latest comic: Infestation 2: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1.

And something else cool: He’ll be arriving with just 20 limited edition prints of Batman vs The Zombie Rogues – and each will come with their own personalised sketch! We’ve seen the print in both colour and B/W, so my bet is that it’ll be in colour.

And well, my guess is most of you aren’t exactly familiar with his work, given that he hasn’t worked with the big 2 publishers – yet.

Mark Torres has had his work featured in comic anthology Liquid City vol 2 on Image and Chris Ryall’s Zombies vs Robots: Undercity on IDW, and has had his work featured on the back page of Rick Remender’s Fear Agent #29. And now he’s taking “another dream come true” (in his own words) – meshing the worlds of TMNT and Lovecraft!

Infestation 2 follows the success of Infestation, which featured the worlds of Star Trek, Transformers, GI Joe and the Ghostbusters, this time introducing TMNT, 30 Days Of Night and Dungeons And Dragons into the mix (with Ghostbusters and Star Trek staying out of it, apparently).

The first issue of Infestation 2: TMNT should be released Mar 7, which means that this is pretty much a launch signing event, right here on our very shores! So keep your date free and fire up your sketchbooks – I think this is going to be a fun one (especially if you’re not going for Cybertron Con).
