When in doubt, give them art.

So I wrote this really deep intellectual post about becoming 30. There I was, baring my soul on my site, talking all about growing up and what it is to be a young man standing on the brink of losing the word young and just being simply a "man." 

And I deleted it. I felt like I lacked the proper verbage to explain what I meant. So I let it go. Perhaps another day.

Either way, it feels really good to get older. I enjoy it. Can I just say that? I often feel like Neo from the Matrix. The older I become, the easier it is to read between the lines.

Since that is about all I have to say, I thought I would give you some stuff to chew on. Ladies and Gentlemen:

MORE ART FROM MY NEW COMIC! I chose these two pages because the final panel you will see describes how I feel about getting older perfectly...

Kel is currently working on the letters. As soon as we get them done, I will go into so much more detail about this comic! Word is bond!

Final Note: These pages come from Issue 1. The page from the post below comes from Issue 2. Yes out of order. Yes to confuse you. Glad you noticed.

I can now post to the site from the iPhone. I'm doing it now in fact. Oh man... Life just got a little better.

Welcome to the Working Week.

So Monday is pretty much over. Day one of the new working week has closed and I'm very happy. Fleshed out a major chunk of the new comic I keep teasing you guys about. I cannot wait to unleash it on you guys. I really can't. As soon as pages 1-12 are lettered, I'll post them on here. Trust.

The Saturday event at Isotope with Geoff Johns was amazing. Once again James Sime, owner of Isotope, threw an amazing event. The entire staff was just awesome.

Geoff is a really nice guy. I asked him a bunch of questions on writing and he answered all of them. Really simple, insightful stuff. It was great.

That's pretty much it for today. I'm tired. Working week has made me sleepy... :)

Btw: Here is a pick from Saturday. View from the balcony.

I promise you it's good. And I'm walking the line...

So yes, it's official, I'm on twitter. (Or "the twit" I as like to call it.) But trust, it is good! I can literally update my site, facebook, and myspace all with one post. How can you beat such lazy efficiency?

Anyways, so I'm wrapping up Issue 3 of my new comic, while I wait for the publication date of my next comic to be announced (I know as little as you do). Things are going well and William Reyes, my artist, has turned in amazing pages. Just mind blowing really. I actually think I could send just the first 9 pages to any company and we'd get picked up. He is worth the wait and the money. I'm really, really, happy.

In other news, working on this film script with fellow writer Matthew Keuter and boy is it a blast. We're really at the ground floor of this thing right now. We're working on a remake of a very famous (albeit old) property. So we've been looking at all the original comics, serials, and films that have come before in order to educate ourselves on the various interpretations and mythologies that have been established with the characters. This is also my very first chance to walk the line with someone else's franchise. The ever tricky balance of staying true to the original source material while updating and reinvigorating it for today's audience is now landed on my door step. How do I feel we're doing with the balance, you ask? Well I think-

WE'RE KILLING IT!!

Cause I can't NOT show you...
