The Card Cheat...
...is on hiatus, hence all the posts being removed. Mal and I are taking a step back to re-think how we want to approach the story. It may well wind up being re-tooled as something other than a comic entirely.
Meet Fern
The comic I did with Shawn Harbin, in support of the film "Beyond the Myth" by Cover Y'All Productions:

Pit Bully
The Pit Bull web comic I did for Cover Y'all Productions is turned in. This is my first non-fiction comic. I dig what I came up with. It guest stars Teddy Roosevelt, Humphrey Bogart, Thomas Edison and Madonna. Sort of.
I may be doing more work for Cover Y'all as preproduction on the documentary ramps up. A print comic is being discussed too.

Photo Comics
I wish they worked. They don't though, none that I've seen anyway. They're somewhere between a movie and a comic, combining the weaknesses of both and the strengths of neither.
Maybe it's time to invest in a Mac and a tablet. I could trace the pictures. I'm told the shoots are harder than actually drawing the book, but it'd have to be easier than artist wrangling, a choice few people excluded.

Streets of Glory
Wolverine (new Millar/McNiven thing)

Punisher
War is Hell: Phantom Eagle (it's Ennis week)

I'm giving Criminal another shot. They have kudos by Chaykin, Miller and Tom Fontana for crying out loud.

What Doesn't Work 1
You know what doesn't work when you're writing a miniseries that you intend to be collected?
You shouldn't write a flash forward to the climax at the beginning of an issue. It will work in the first issue if the climax falls in the first issue or last issue. Otherwise it derails the narrative.
If you have a five issue miniseries, in issue #3, you could open with a flash forward to the climax. But, when it becomes CHAPTER 3 in the trade, that could really thrown the story off its stride. Dig?
If there's an example of this working, I'd love to see it.
