Time to Wear Tights (month 5)

Juggling, juggling, juggling projects. Fiiiinally bought Final Draft software today so I can get cracking on my first screenplay this summer. I’ve got two stories in mind already, adaptations of short stories I’ve published before in anthologies. But I haven’t forgotten about my comic book project, The Masters; far from it. To the right you’ll find more fine artwork by the guy who’s (most likely) drawing this miniseries or graphic novel, Mshindo Kuumba I. To recap, The Masters are folks like you and me who’ve achieved a certain level of spiritual mastery that in turn enhances them with superpowered abilities. My monthly progress for April involved a simple roundup of potential publishers for the book. Following personal advice from Sin City creator Frank Miller, I don’t plan to offer The Masters to comic powerhouses Marvel or DC. Instead, my list of potentials looks more like this, in no particular order:

1. Top Cow Universe
2. Wildstorm
3. Dargaud (they’re French, they’re putting out a Paul Pope project)
4. Image Comics
5. Vertigo
6. IDW (John Byrne is drawing FX for them these days)
7. Dark Horse Comics
