So now that I’ve finally gotten The Girl Who Would Be King back out to my agent and have settled in for the inevitable “long wait” that is a natural but sometimes frustrating part of the process, I can finally get back to work on NEW work…which is always really fun.
This is my favorite part of the process, when everything is shiny and new. I suspect that’s true for most creators – whether building houses, or writing novels.
On deck right now are two YA novels I’m very excited about. They’re both very different and I’m having trouble deciding which one to push forward…but that my friends, is a great problem to have.
Anyway, I just wanted to let all of you know that one of the projects I’m deciding between is this one, which some of you so kindly offered encouraging feedback on a few months ago. I did in fact decide to push forward with it as a novel, and thus, below, meet Tessa and ‘The Black Dove’ (that’s the name of her axe).
Tessa and "The Black Dove"
The other YA novel it’s up against has been in my head for more than 12 years, though it originally was going to be a comic book in my mind, it has since turned into a great concept for a novel series. I love the characters and the concept, but I confess that the world building (which is major) frightens me a bit. Still, here’s a peek at an old sketch of the main character Berkeley:
Berkeley 'Berks' Grey
Also in the pipeline, though always more complicated since I’m not enough of an artist (these days especially) to draw my own comics, is a comics mini-series/OGN I’m prepping to pitch. And here’s an old sketch of that character. Her name is Emma Elliot and she doesn’t have a badass weapon, but she DOES have a very disturbing magic box. Which is…not a euphemism. Oh god…stop thinking bad things! You’re all bad and you need a time out. Go to your corners!
You're going to have to trust me that there's a very good reason that Emma is in her bra...I promise you it all comes around!
But still…EXCITING SHINY NEW PROJECTS!!!! WHEE!!!!
“Bryan Q. Miller delivers in “Batgirl” #24 a powerful, inspiring, and emotionally satisfying ending to his little series that could, cut short before its time…”

“All of Scott Snyder’s plot threads weave together beautifully as a story that’s been building for months finally comes to a head in this last issue of “Detective Comics” before we head into re-launch. Graced with exceptional co-art by Jock and Francesco Francavilla, which could have been frustrating but manages to work nicely, Snyder pulls no punches as his epic story comes to a close…”

I wanted to post a panel from Marjorie Liu and Phil Noto’s X-23 #13 because the whole damn book was so beautiful…but I couldn’t find one single panel that really worked in a way that made the absolute awesomeness of this book clear on its own, so I decided to give you a full page. Enjoy!
From X-23 #13, art by Phil Noto:

“This is exactly the kind of comic I feel like we need more of. It’s pretty kid friendly and appealing, with strong young protagonists, good solid friendships, and I suspect, eventually, some nice messages. I’m not sure how engaging it is for an adult audience on the whole at this point, but not every comic should be for every person, or we’d have tepid stories indeed. Variety, she’s the spice of life, kids!…”

“I was pretty disappointed when Marjorie Liu had to leave “Black Widow” for “X-23,” because I was loving the feel of Daniel Acuna and Liu’s take on Natasha. To make matters worse, I wasn’t wild about “X-23”. I tried the first arc, but had dropped it before we even got to the end. Liu’s writing was strong overall, but inconsistent art that frequently wasn’t to my tastes kept me from coming back, so instead I sulked about missing “Black Widow.” “X-23” #13 is a whole other story, and one that has me saying “Black Widow who?…”

“It’s always exciting to see a new series by Terry Moore. Especially as a reader hungry for strong well-rounded female characters, I always know I’m going to get something interesting from Moore. I also always know the book is going to be beautiful, and probably pretty intriguing. “Rachel Rising” #1 is no exception, and delivers on all fronts…”
