GEARS COMICS

I'll be writing Gears of War comics for WildStorm, starting with issue 15 later this year. The series will expand the storyline between games two and three that's covered in the books, with some extra revelations and perspectives that won't appear in either the novels or in the game. So... you can't afford to miss them. Can you?

Book three of the Gears series, ANVIL GATE, is out on August 31.  Baird would like you to purchase a copy, he says, because you need to find out just how awesome he is. For goodness' sake buy one and shut him up.  Please.

Here's a Comic Con teaser of COALITION'S END, book four, which will be published in hardcover on March 1 by Simon & Schuster (Gallery Books). It bridges the storyline between the end of ANVIL GATE and the start of the third game, which is out in April.  Check out this blog for background on the book and Gears of War 3. Yes, you can pre-order COALITION'S END now. In fact, I insist. This isn't the final art - it'll probably be tweaked a bit - but it works for me...

Older news:

Halo. Yes, it's true. I'm writing a few novels in the Halo universe. I weakened and gave in, but Marcus says he forgives me because he knows I'll always be a Gears gal at heart. More detail on my blog. Dysfunctional but likeable chaps with outrageous armour and big guns? Check. Byzantine politics, ethical dilemmas, and authentic military? Check. Glimpses into alien minds and weird cultures? Check. Yep, sounds like a Traviss series to me...

(General warning: sometimes contains strong language and heavy topics. May not be suitable for work or for kids. If you're nervous, get someone else to check first. Usually harmless.)
