Very happy with the comic books

Nov 27, 2006

Okay guys, I’m not sure how some of you took my comment on the wererats genitilia, or lack there of, to mean I’m not happy with the comic. I am very happy with the comic. Short of me being able to draw the pictures in my head, this is my dream of my book being adapted to comic book form. This has been an amazingly positive experience. We have one bump in the road, the fact the comic book code just doesn’t let you do male frontal nudity, and I talk honestly about it in the blog, and now some of you took that to say I’m not happy with the comic. That’s not what I said. That’s not what I wrote in the blog. That’s certainly not what I meant anyone to take away from that blog. There are days when I think I should simply stop doing the blog. Because no matter what I say some people will interpret it differently from what I meant, or intended. I try to give you guys an honest view into my world and my work, as honest as I’m allowed. Honest as I think won’t get some debate started that I didn’t intend to start like this rumor. I love the comic books. I love watching the artwork come across our desks. I will from now on reread the script at the same time as I look at the art work so I’ll see how it actually compliments each other. Reading them separately leaves some holes in the comprehension of what an issue will look and feel like. So, lesson learned. But let me just say I love the comics, and I’ve been very happy with everyone that is working on it. Saying I’d like to have my wererats with full equipment doesn’t mean I don’t love the comic. It means exactly what I said, that I’d like to either see full frontal nudity with full equipment on the rats, or give them the thong that is the comic book hats off to nudity, not the Ken doll smoothness. I tend to say what I mean, if I wasn’t happy I’d say it. I am happy with the comic. So please do not think otherwise. I hope this stops the rumor that I’m not happy with it, but I fear me that like most rumors once it comes to life it’s hard to kill.
Now I’m going to go read over the script for issue 3 and issue 4, and enjoy how smoothly the book translates to comic script. I’m going to look at the newest artwork and go, wow. Seeing good artwork, especially of my own characters, fills me with envy. I so wish I could draw. I’ll tell you how happy I am, I’ve finally found a piece of art from my own work that I’m having framed to put up in my office. Of all the beautiful covers I’ve had on my books I’ve never framed and put one up. Not sure why, but the poster of Jean-Claude has finally won me over. I’m going to go back to having a wonderful time with the comic book. You guys try to play nice. No more rumors, okay.
