More Info Coming Soon
But for now here's a few titles (including spec scripts) until I have time to fill in the details...
Comics N' Porn
Comedy, ideally 3 issue long
"Comics N' Porn" is the story of one man with a vision: to run a store dedicated to the sale of comic books and pornography. Don't laugh; the two have a lot more in common than you would think.
Update: Comics N' Porn is on its way! I'm currently taking a comic book creating class called Meltdown U. at Meltdown Comics here in Los Angeles. The class is taught by Jim Higgins, former editor at DC, current man behind New Suit comics.
Anyway, part of the class is putting together a mini-comic of about 10 pages. I've got the breakdown all set and I'm currently in the full script phase. Sadly, I can't draw worth a stitch, so I'm going to have to find an artist, but I've got a few leads on that.
So, hopefully I'll have something to actually show off in the next few months.
Battleground State
Post-apocalyptic political adventure, ideally 5 issues long
Sometime in the not too distant future, a plague hits the earth, killing millions in a few short years. Humanity is helpless. Chaos ensues. Governments fall apart. The United States of America soon finds itself akin to post-Soviet Union Asia as the federal government is simply no longer able to function. States are forced to fend for themselves. Some turn to their neighbors for assistance, while others offer to help for a price. Territories who recover faster than others claim themselves to be independent nations. Less successful states must join with others to survive.
Ideological boundaries become real as the map of America is redrawn.
Nathan Christiansen has spent the last year fighting for a united California, his adopted state. But while he’s proud of the work he’s accomplished, he knows that resurrecting a place with so many shared ideals was a relatively easy task. As the entire Pacific Coast begins to work together under a new world order, Nathan can’t help but wonder if he’s needed elsewhere, if it might be time to return to where he was born.
It’s time to go back to Ohio, to find the family he’s only heard from sporadically since the plague. It’s time to see if perhaps he can have some influence on the rebirth in the Buckeye state.
What Nathan doesn’t realize, however, is that, as always, Ohio has become the epitome of America. Numerous factions are attempting to resurrect the state, either as a part of a greater entity or as an autonomous nation with very specific ideological views. Each faction has their own views and each has just as much right to call Ohio their own as the next. Filled with memories of his childhood, Nathan Christiansen attempts to reconcile all of them, fighting for his home state using just as many words as bullets.Vigilance
Qronos
Sci-fi Political Thriller, I'm not sure how long we outlined this for
Co-created (mostly created) and co-written by Jay LaPlante
Mount
Post-apocalyptic sexual drama, stand alone OGN (Original Graphic Novel)
"Mount" is about what happens when anyone can die at any moment, and what that does to the relationships we form. It's about the politics of sex, and how those change after society has fallen apart. It's about a chosen few, living inside a mountain high above the rest of us, and how they find the motivation to get up every day.
Theme and Variation
Comedy/Drama/Slice of Life
This is the comic book tie-in to a series of short stories I've written. It's basically about three guys who live in an apartment building and the various social maladies they share. I actually have a first issue fully scripted. I think it's pretty good -- walks a fine line between serious and funny.
Marvel Adventures: Spider-man
All ages superhero adventure
The Hook: Spider-man! Doctor Strange! The Grizzly! The Gibbon! And lots of bad puns!
The Gist: Peter Parker attends the “Superhero For A Day” competition at the local convention center. Dr. Strange arrives in his astral form, warning Peter that an evil magician cast a spell not just on the contest, but on a specific costume being used in the contest. It’s up to Spider-man, the astral form of Dr. Strange, and costumed professional wrestler Max Markham to stop the Gibbon from wrecking havoc throughout the convention center, and possibility all of New York!
Vigilance
Challengers of the Unknown
Batman
Dr. Strange
Cloak and Dagger
Here's something mildly interesting and not a little heartbreaking. I recently sent my "Cloak and Dagger" proposal to someone I've never met aside from some brief interaction online. Said person loved it, so much so that he gave it to friends to read, all of whom also enjoyed it. It seemed that my proposal got across exactly what I wanted to say. Alas, no one at Marvel will give me the time of day.
Below are a few sketches my friend Roger did for a comic book series we were working on that never happened.
These are pretty old and Roger's really talented, so I can only imagine what his current stuff looks like. As soon as I track him down, I'll see about getting his info and new work up.
