MC uses multiple timelines and intersecting narratives (a homage to Tarantino’s “chapter” based storytelling as in PULP FICTION or KILL BILL). The first timeline uses a high contrast b/w style as you’ve seen in the previews. Vivek just turned in some work on the other timeline and it looked so fabulous, I had to share it with you. 
I shall be updating the site later with the new character explorations and concept art.
Ordered some ashcans off of ComiXPress of the Chapter 1 preview for Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) on May 1, 2010. I shall most probably be giving these away at my awesome local comic book store That’s Entertainment in Worcester, MA on FCBD 2010.
The ashcans really came out great. Going to order some more of these to give out at Albany Comic Con in April 2010, if I decide to attend it. Here are some hastily snapped cellphone photos. Click on the images for larger versions.

Here is an art dump of the thumbnails of the first sequence and character concept for Sawant, the bad guy. Sid has done a good job in translating my jumbled notes into a real visual treat. The opening sequence is a shootout between Sawant and Kadam in Dharavi. It’s night and monsoons are lashing Mumabai Our two dudes are at it shooting each other… why you ask? 
well check out the book when it comes out.
