Marge, He's Talking About Comics Again...

I can't help it. I have a sickness.

As a guy who is totally working on this script, I exist in a millieu of like-minded creators. Some of them are canny enough to do things with their work once it's finished, but most of us, like me, have this big file full of stuff that gets constantly reworked, but never finished. Not that I sympathize, but I know why it takes Allan Heinberg seven years to write one issue of Wonder Woman.

Anyway, Hugh "Ghost Detectives" Stewart sent me something that he's been working on to look over for him, and I can't resist the urge to tell all five people who read this blog how great Girl Dangerous #1 is. It's unfinished, it doesn't have panel breakdowns, let alone art, but the rough script is a work of mad genius. And magic dinosaurs.

You're uncomfortable with me throwing the word genius around, I can tell. But this thing reads like Grant Morrison and Matt Fraction had a baby and that baby grew up to have severe ADHD.

As much as I love comics, it's been a long time (however many weeks since Nextwave #12) since I've smiled broadly while reading one. This accomplished that.

If/When this thing gets finished, expect me to whore the hell out of it. More than I'm doing right now.
