About me:
I'm a writer who's spent some time in Hollywood but am now focusing primarily on the comic book industry. I have three books in development with Image and a few more with Platinum Studios. I'm probably best known for THE 7 GUYS OF JUSTICE, a superhero satire compared favorably to THE TICK or, more recently, THE VENTURE BROTHERS.
Who I'd like to meet: Fun, like-minded individuals who don't take things too seriously. And, naturally, anyone whom I can bribe to raise my profile in the comics and/or screenwriting industry.
Most grueling (no pun intended . . . cuz we were at "Oliver's," y'know . . .) tie-breaker ever!! Way to rock forth like a trooper, guy! I owe you an official ShanRock's Triviology cup!
