A FRAGMENTED WEEK

LegalDispatch 0.46

Another packed week.

I delivered a pretty hefty revision on the script for PROJECT RAMBLE Issue Two and finished up two more television pitches. But what really wiped me out was a 24-hour crunch to revise about one-third of PROJECT SPECTRE.

Spectre is one of the three feature scripts I’d gone back to the drawing board on. I feel good about these changes, but what do I know? I wrote this one on spec because I had an idea that I couldn’t ignore despite a proper lack of bandwidth to write a spec and no experience in the genre whatsoever.

What could go wrong?

FRAGMENTATION

Fragmentation was finally released into comic book stores and it’ll drop in bookstores on Tuesday, February 7. It’s an original graphic novel about time travel with a family drama at its center. It’s a mind-bendy little piece, but I’m proud of it.

Here’s Dark Horse’s blurb for it:

When pieces of history from some of the worlds most traumatic and horrible events start appearing as fragments of time invading our world, it threatens all of human existence. One family discovers that their personal tragedy is at the center of everything, making them the only people who can help put an end to the Fragmentations.

If you’re intrigued, you can pre-order it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, or Indigo.

COMIC BOOK YETI

A podcast interview I did last week just went live. The focus was on my transition from attorney to writer. It’s always fun to revisit my litigator days. You can check it out here.

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

The incredible Peach Momoko has drawn variants for two of my Star Wars-related books as part of Marvel’s celebration of Women’s History Month. You can check them out below. Leia, of course, is Princess Leia. Khel is Khel Tanna, a new character David Messina and I co-created for our Han Solo & Chewbacca run.

Pretty cool.

SUBSCRIBE?

According to this newsletter’s statistics, a little over a hundred of you are reading — thank you! — but not subscribing. It’s pure ego that makes me ask, but if you’re so inclined please consider subscribing so I look at the readership numbers and feel good about myself. (Well, less bad about myself, at any rate.)

Be good to each other.

Best,
