Here’s a few things that are too big for Twitter but not big enough for their own posts.
First off, Scott’s an idiot. Okay, I lied, that does warrant its own post. He’ll be at NYCC this weekend hanging out with Jetpack Press in booth #2402. Be sure to take pleasure in his self-inflicted misery.
Just a quick reminder! Volume 2, Atomic Robo and the Dogs of War comes out on the 18th. You should get it.
Also, the script for 3.4 is kicking my ass. The first two were laughably easy. I’d basically already written them, it was just a matter of formatting the dialog into panel 1, panel 2, etc. The third one was a challenge, but an invigorating one. It was my first real shot at writing horror. Hell, I’m not sure if it qualifies as “horror”, but there’s definitely a build up of what I will call “spooky tension” and I think it turned out pretty okay.
But the fourth issue. The fourth issue is a problem and it’s all Carl Sagan’s fault. I’ve got to balance remaining true to his essential Carl-ness with moving the story forward while circumventing my tendency to make at least one person in a conversation increasingly crazy, stupid, or a jackass as it progresses. So, I spent all weekend writing the same discussion three times. But, hell, I’m happy with the results, so I can’t complain.
Lastly, I love this blog.
