Solid Reading

Just wanted to drop a link, perhaps even try to keep posting.

Writing has become hard for me. I'm stuck amongst editing a script I wrote, that three people have rewritten- just to give back to me to edit- so I can later polish before filming; a treatment for a script I've rewritten 5 times that needs to be sent away prior to my one and only vacation this year, come Sunday; and more importantly...

Kicking my lil buddy's nuts from across the country. Lil buddy being my artist. See, this kids a good guy, mostly. Solid artist. Very solid, actually. But he's young...and sometimes it shows. He gets caught up in things he doesn't need to, finds reasons not to get work done, or to wait for approval...and so on.

Difficult to blame someone whom is not being paid to draw, or myself for not wanting to write when there is no glimmering payday at the end of the caved in tunnel I seem to have found myself running through.

Motivational skills abound from my blackened heart- can't you tell?

Anyway- while I drift slowly over the keys and pretend to smash out something of merit, I have happened to take a few moments to read a new comic, published by ONIPRESS.

I've never really liked too much Oni has put out, but I am selective with what I buy- Not because of financial reasons or high standard snotness- but because I could care less for superhero's and re-contrived storylines better suited back twenty years- ever so apparent even through the new 'updates'.

But this one I dig. For many reasons. Tight writing, with some quality to the dialogue that really a lot of comics lack. Art is fit for the style- though I tend to like detail...this still works.

WASTELAND- New series by Anthony Johnston & Christopher Mitten. Worth a read. I had never heard of either of these two- but I fail to remember names...so don't hold it against me if I should have. But in the brief pick ups of comics last week I saw a cover that stuck out- saw the black and white- read a brief page and saw that it clearly wasn't the average new release. As a result of the first and second issues...I will continue to follow.

So should you...

Now- find me some option rights!!
