Recently I have hit another huge break with my dreams to being a comic book writer, for those of you who don’t know last summer I was introduced to a publisher that was interested in making my comic book script come to life. The publisher is Ravenhammer Comics (which you should check out if you ever get the chance) and recently they have made their first real moves to back up their promise, recently giving me the means I needed to find an artist and get this book started.

After a week a week of sifting through artist auditions I finally found a fantastic artist whose name is S.R. Ayers. Ayers has a wonderfully gritty style with the way he draws his pages and add that with his gifted sense of color I knew he was exactly what I needed for my comic to truly be something special.

The title of my comic for now is Project Phoenix (subject to change) and If I had to describe the story in a nutshell it’s like a cross between the losers, X-Men and the Bourne films. This comic will follow a group of soldiers (some have amazing abilities and others not so much) that have banded together to fight in a terrifying world that is essentially heading for hell. This is as much as I can say about it at the moment but I will let you know that I am going for a real slow burn sort of book with some occasional flare ups. Some issues will almost entirely character driven while others are very high octane action but how it flips back and forth is where most of the fun is.

I know for a fact that I have one issue that will be published by Ravenhammer and potentially a preview/prequel sort of issue that will come out before its release but from there it’ll depend on how the book sells I presume. I can tell you right now that I have three completely written issues with issue 4 about halfway done. I will continue to update you guys on how my writing progresses and how the comic itself is being made.

For anyone reading this I appreciate you taking the time to read this post of mine and I want to assure you that I am not trying to force anyone to buy this book when it comes out. But I will promise you that if you do buy it whenever it comes out that you’ll be in for a very special treat. This story and its characters mean a lot to me, and too be perfectly honest this isn’t about the money, getting paid to do this is nice but just the fact that my story will actually be released for everyone to read and enjoy is what really matters to me. This is more than a story to me, this is my life and I’m glad you’ve decided to come along for the ride.
