Journey Into Adventure: Part I

So I've been asked to blog about the process of creating 'Incredible Journey' from beginning to end. My first thought: Great. Another chore to add to my ever expanding list. My second thought: This will be fun. 

I guess a good place to start is my first official press experience. Tomorrow morning, I will be on my local Fox morning show to talk about my experiences with the "Who wants to create a super heroine contest" as well as 'Incredible Journey'. (Channel 11 KABB on Time Warner Cable in San Antonio)

While I am looking forward to it, I have no idea what to expect in terms of questions save for the obvious "How did you get into comics?" question. 

I expect to be calm, cool, and collected although I've expected a lot before and have been let down time and time again. 

Should I be witty? Should I be a serious artist? Should I be politician-like? Definitely not! I know I should be myself, but that doesn't help because I never know who's going to show up! 

I'll let you know how it goes.

Incredible Journey! Coming soon from Shadowline/Image comics



I am pleased as punch to announce that production has begun on my first foray into comic books. 

"Incredible Journey!" will be published by the good folks at Jim Valentino's ShadowLine imprint of Image Comics. 

This was the end result of my winning the "Who wants to create a super heroine contest?" that ShadowLine put on late last year. The press release can be found here: http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=153285

So far, the experience has been very enlightening and mostly positive. 

Stay tuned folks, this is going to be a wild ride!
