On location with the Gears... — Description
Here is Joshua Ortega (left) and myself (second from right) on location on the planet Sera with the Gears, researching our comic. Conditions are tough, and we had to go through some damn rigorous training before they would let us out of Jacinto! Managed to bag me a few Locus Drones, blew up a couple of Seeders too - man, those things are disgusting! But, you know, three or four days out there was enough for me.

Managed to grab me a quick beer with Markus in 'The Rusty Nail', but he didn't say too much. Likes to stay low key, despite his celebrity. They say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but the guy was cool enough. No ego there, just a kind of brooding intensity.
Anyway, I shot a lot of ref for the comic, so it's damn close to the reality of being out there - kind of comics journalism I guess. Josh is staying out a little longer, hoping he can get down to the disused tunnels the Locust Hoard used to inhabit before...

Well, I 'll let him tell that.

I'll be at the launch of Gears 2 in Kingston-upon-Thames on Thursday at GAME store, at midnight. Drop by if you're in the area!

Regards,

Liam.
