For those interested...the new issue of Wizard Magazine is out this week, with
both an article about, and a preview issue for, my new comic series from Top
Cow, RISING STARS. Wizard can be found at nearly all comic stores and most
newsstands.

Yes, have it, read it -- looks like a great comic ! It definitely left me
wanting more. The Supreme Court decision was an interesting touch and
read. The doctor's diary entry was cool too. You can't do something like
that easily on TV -- at least not that much (since you have done it with
voice-over montages :)

I like the method of storytelling -- somewhat like B5 in that tells some of
what's already happened, but not how we got from point A to point B -- the
actual "story".

Will the story be linear from here on out or more like the completely
non-linear style of Christopher Priest (who's writing I also love) ?

FYI, I've already told my local shop to order 1 for me every month (I'd
order 2 -- but get your own ;)

I'm going to be moving back and forth in the story's timeline, using an ongoing
investigation into something happening in the present to get me into those
backstories.

Thanks on the comic...I think it's gonna be fun.

There's a web article & art preview at:
http://www.detnews.com/metro/hobbies/comix/stories/9903/19/

Are these pages from the #0 (art by Brian Ching), or #1 (art by series
regular Kui Cha)? Some of it's a bit unfinished, but it looks pretty
sharp.

Dunno, I'll have to go look and see what they used.

BTW, just closed the deal today to write a TV movie (non-SF) for one of the
networks while we're waiting for pilots to be picked up in May. Should be fun.
(Can't talk about it at this time beyond that.)

Well, I broke down and splurged on the top cow Wizard special, with the
RISING STARS #0 (art by Cha), and it isn't that. So my question changes to
merely who did draw those previewed pages (they looked pretty good, though
unfinished)?

Congrats! I'll look forward to it.

I'll also be fair and admit I hope you can succeed in bringing a new sf tv
series to a major network (but note that I'm not holding my breath <g>). Now
that B5 has revolutionized tv sf, and you're about to give WATCHMEN a run for
its money in comics, what I personally hope you find time for soon is your
first *prose* sf novel. There is a lot of great sf in novels, but there's
always room for one more (oops old Twilight Zone pun <g>). I'd hate for any
of your ideas that you might have used in CRUSADE to lie fallow, and would
love the irony of them finding new life in a form *you* would own. Maybe you
could finally get that Hugo award you should have gotten for you other media
sf novel. That would be another delicious irony.
