Project Updates

Working more on the Sheena script.  I was able to sketch out the 6-page story and will be sharing the work as it progresses. 

I’m excited to combine my love of children’s books and vintage comics into one format!


What I’m reading

This past week I read the 2006 series of the “Defenders”.  It was one of my bookshelf discoveries. It was so cool to see that the writers of this series were no other than the writing team of Keith Giffens and J.M. DeMatteis.

I loved their Justice League run in the late ’80s and early ’90s, and was excited to read these first 5 issues.

Academically speaking, it was a good story; but I kept thinking about how much of an ever-turning wheel it is to read any of these established characters.  Knowing that they will survive and that there is nothing that will be permanent and story arcs are not really fresh… I think I’m getting out of the major comic books now.


Personal Updates

This past week was a bit less stressful than the week before.  Hope is on the horizon with the possibility of life getting back to a semblance of normality. As of April 17th, we are at 52% of Vermonters over 16 have received their first shot!  Getting there!
