I Have a comic coming out!

I have a story coming out in the soon-to-be-released ICONIC graphic novel from the Comicbook Artists Guild.
Iconic Cover

The concept of ICONIC is simple: new twists on old tales of classic literature and history. The heroes in ICONIC are folks you’re already familiar with: Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, St. George and the Dragon, and others. It’s 112 pages of fun and adventure targeted to comic book readers old and new.

My story is a reimagining of the tale of St. George and the Dragon. This time it’s all about a little boy named George versus the monster in his closet.



The book itself is a monumental effort by CAG, the first truly worldwide collaboration by its members. It’s debuting at the MOCCA Art Festival in NYC next month and will cost you a mere $10. More info on CAG and ICONIC can be found at http://comicartguild.com

I is a writer

Well, I got a pleasant surprise in my Inbox on Friday:

"Scott,

I'm pleased to announce that yours has been selected as a winning pitch for the CAG Classics Anthology. Competition was stiff, as we had a lot of submissions to pick through. But your story will go on to production.

Congratulations, and thanks for your effort."

That's right, I'm going to be published. Sure, the anthology won't be published until November, but I'm still proud as punch.

If Brett Ratner got a hold of the JLA movie

I can see his vision:

"These guys are boring. We need more pathos! I've done a little research and here's what I've got: Forget Bruce Wayne/Christian Bale. Too dark and moody. Bale wants too much on the backend. Besides, he's Nolan's bitch. Let's use this Azrael guy when he wore the batsuit. That psychopath angle is great for building tension.

"And Wonder Woman? After Joss cocked it up trying to pick somebody to fill Linda Carter's boots, I say we throw all that out the window and go with this Artemis chick instead. She wore the outfit for a while, right? Besides, she hates men so we get more CONFLICT!

"Throw the Aquaguy out, nobody cares about that dude. Green Lantern should be that Kyle Rayner guy. (Rainee? Ranier? Sounds French. You know I just finished a film set in Paris, right?). He's supposed to be some kind of artist guy so we can play him all sensitive and get the little girls to slide off their chairs.

"Finally, and this is brilliant of me, I have to say, forget Clark Kent and Barry whatsisface Flash. Regular old Superman skews too 'Norman Rockwell.' And nobody cares about a cop scientists; CSI has done that crap to death. I'm thinking we go with Kon-el, Superboy, and the Bart Allen Flash!

"We can get that teen buddy action going like I had in X-Men 3 between Iceman and Pyro! Then set up Batman and Wonder Woman as their parental units and Greenie as a big brother that they always play practical jokes on. It's like a twisted nuclear family! This is going to be box-office Boffo!"
