I decided to pick up my pencil again and start drawing a comic. As Harry Callahan said in Magnum Force, "A man's got to know his limitations," but hell, I went to art school for a while, so why not?
And.......
After a computer lock, where I lost half my work I completed page 1 of 8. Yay me, and I'm sure that an editor will be laughing soon.

Hopefully the final rename is.....
Kelly and I talked it over, and we decided to simply retitle the comic after our main character.
So world, get ready for SALOME.

Release the AWESOME!
Yes, I'm stealing a line from an Adam Sandler movie, but Kelly has just turned in some pages that have blown me away. I'm thrilled with her growth as an artist.
She's also started her own webcomic called STOMPY BOOTS.
Check it out!

The Incredible Changing Title!
It started out as ORIGINAL SIN.
But concept wise and connotation wise, the title didn't fit the story.
So, we decided on AWAKEN.
But a Google search and over 37 pages later, "AWAKEN" just isn't punchy enough.
ARGH!
Who thought that naming a comic would be so dang hard?

The Times They Are A Changin'
This last month has been a very interesting cycle at the top end of the comics industry to say the least!
First Marvel gets bought out by the Mouse in a move that should, eventually, benefit both sides.
On the heels of that announcement comes the creation of DC ENTERTAINMENT which has been on the wall for more than a year. The most interesting part of the announcement was the recalling of most of the DC properties "currently" in development. It now looks definite that WB/DC are now going to use the Marvel model in future movies and try to keep it all under one roof. With the new alignment, there SHOULD, operative word, be more synergy between DC and its various licensees.
A bittersweet part of this announcement is the stepping down of Mr. Paul Levitz as President/Publisher of DC. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Levitz at the New York Comic Con, and although he didn't have a great deal of time, he shook my hand and made me feel very welcome. I'm glad to know he will still be very involved with DC and I thought his tenure as publisher was exemplary.
How this announcement shakes down to all the various spokes in the DC Umbrella remains to be seen, of course, but perhaps we'll get that Night Owls movie after all.

A New Direction and a New Title
Kelly and I have been working on our series again. She's shown me a couple of pages, and my god, her work has taken a great leap forward. I'm truly impressed by them. And I've gotten quite picky in my old age... HA!
In related news, we no longer think ORIGINAL SIN really is the best title for the series. Yes, the series is about a fall, knowledge of good and evil, and all that, but with the new look and the rewrite, the connotations of "Original Sin" just no longer gelled with the vision for Salome Dupont.
With a lot of help (meaning I started polling my friends), we finally found the new title for the series:
