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:

AWAKEN

Wish us luck.

Rewrites Rewrites And New Stuff!

I have been very remiss in keeping everyone updated, so please accept my apologies on that. But in the meantime, whilst not blogging, I've been working on several projects.

Kelly Porteous and I are retooling Original Sin, and her art has taken a great leap forward. I thought she was awesome before, but you ain't seen nuthin' yet!

After being rejected, Sandy and I are taking a new look at Flight Captain Hurricane, and will be pitching it to a publisher in the very near future. Lots of work to do on that still, but I'm really excited!

And lastly, I've got a little 8-pager in production with an eager young artist. The script is, well in my opinion, funny. It feels good to be back in the writing saddle.

Now if only these rewrites didn't take so long....

A Temporary Setback

The long wait ended.

Flight Captain Hurricane was rejected by Zuda.

And admittedly, the wait didn't end in the way that that the team and I wanted, but it's a temporary setback at best. I believe very strongly in the Flight Captain in Hurricane concept, and the team and I will retool, rearm, and retake to the skies.

In the meantime, here's a very recent sketch by Sandy starring the leads from FCH!

A BIG Thank you!

Yesterday was my birthday, and I thank everyone for the birthday wishes I got on Facebook, and my favorite comic message board, Comic Bloc.

I do have a special thank you for Kelly Porteous, Sandra Khoo, and Elisita Gayle, three very talented artists I have the pleasure of working with, who gave me some art for my birthday.

THANK YOU!

I'll post them once I don't deem them too "spoilery" ~laughs~.

DC's Back Up(s) Plan

I've been giving the announcement of DC's recent announcement of Co-Features a lot of thought. Personally, I think it's a brilliant. So brilliant, that it would be a great way to not only keep characters in the limelight like Blue Beetle and Ravager, but it would be a great way to establish new or lesser known talent.

David Gallaher writing The Phantom Stranger? Genius.

Steve Ellis drawing The Blackhawks? Awesome.

Bobby Timony on a GA Red Tornado and Tornado Twins? Brilliant.

Or you can run a feature pairing a new writer with a popular one. The possibilities are limitless, and I am anxious to see what DC will do next.

Go HAMMER!!!

As it approaches Zero Hour in this month's contest on Zuda, I just want to give THE HAMMER a last minute shout out and a plea for your support.

THE HAMMER is a crazy concoction with 2 parts Harvey, 1 part Mickey Spillane and a twist of Raymond Chandler. The guys behind the giant pink bunny are passionate and worthy of your support.
